I've tried looking around forums to see if anyone else has this problem in particular, but I haven't really found any that matches my problem. During training my class was instructed to take off our masks and begin breathing in our mouth (via regulator) and breathe out our noses, and then dive while doing the same. Well this went well for me above water, but when I entered water I could no longer breathe freely from my nose and instead breathed out my mouth. I concentrated and could only breathe out short bursts of air from my nose. In the process I would end up breathing slightly out my mouth, freaking out, accidently breathing in partially with my nose, and also swallowing some air. I tried practicing with my snorkel in my bath-tub and at the pool but my nose just seems to lock up when trying to exhale underwater. I hope I'm not doomed :-\
Any suggestions?
