Blood in spit after 2+ dives

I would see a Doc to get an absolute answer.

However, people will sometimes get a little blood in their sputum when on oxygen for a while. It's basically because of the dryness of the oxygen. It drys their nasal passages and this will sometimes cause bleeding from the small blood vessels in the nose. The same can happen to the vessels in the throat. This may be the reason for your small amount of bleeding.

Do you have cotton mouth when you dive that second time? JPG

I used to get a small amount of scuba snot in my mask after a dive...small amount of blood. Apparently, this was from not equalizing properly and/or over equalizing. My remedy is to equalize right at the surface once with subsequent equalizations every 5 feet or so depending on comfort and ease. This cleared the problem plus made equalization much easier and less painful.
