It's air coming up the lacrimal duct, as someone already stated.
It annoys the dickens out of me, because not only do I get air up there, but water as well, which ends up in my mask.

I don't know which duct the air passed through but when I equalise too hard, I get bubbles coming out the other way. My roommate doesn't think it's all that cool, especially not if I equalise while she's in the room.
Hmmm, a lot of air in that space 
I'd love to dive next weekend. This weekend, I'm still booked, but we'll figure something out for next.
I'd like to practice my new share air technique of passing my mask back and forth instead of a reg.
I'm a sick girl this weekend. Sore throat, snot, cough... blah! I should be up and running next weekend, but let's play it by ear... MLK wkend might be better...
Keep in touch and let me know. I wanna see Kelly, sharkbait, too...
I first noticed as a kid that when I pinched my nose and blew (At the time I didin't know that was equalizing... or anything else about scuba) that air seemed to come out of my eye... I always thought everybody did that and that it was normal....
I haven't noticed that since I started diving. I think for me at least it has to do with how hard I am blowing against my pinched nose. (Now that I think of it, I used to notice the same thing when trying to blow up a balloon as a kid... you know the kind I'm talkin' about... those that are like blowing up tire for your car while it's attached to the car and sitting on the ground.) Definitely a pressure thing for me.
