Hard and funny scuba lessons learned...

[CelticRavenVA]

Did you learn a somewhat funny lesson about diving one day? I did...

So I couldn't help but notice on my first dives, that as you ascend from 70+ feet you have an over whelming urge to ummm we shall say pass a lil gas as it re-expands inside you.

Now I am taking a shot in the dark here and guessing I am not the only one this has ever happened to. Now that morning I was really regretting getting out of the water to have this wonderful odor creap up my wetsuit and escape my neck seal only to be greated with the second coming of bacon, eggs, hot sausage smothered bbq sauce or hot sauce, coffee to come seaping through the neck seal of my wetsuit. Well from then forward I eat a much less ummm potent breakfast of toast and butter, nothing with BBQ or hot sauce on it.

And here I thought my breakfast of cold pizza and warm beer was bad.

Making mental note............. stay off same boat on windless days and on windy days be upwind of CelticRavenVA

I have burps, but not "bottom burps" from expanding gas.

The only thing i would warn about is when you do it, watch your air bubble, adding large amounts of air to your suit can cause all sorts of dynamic instability!!

So. Would it be considered a bad thing, if I don't notice a marked increase over the usual amount of methane produced?

rhetorical question: Usually defined as any question asked for a purpose other than to obtain the information the question asks.

more narrowly defined, my question was a form of
epiplexis (from Gk. epi, "upon" and plessein, "to strike"), which means asking questions in order to chide, to express grief, or to inveigh.

thus spoke H2Andy

Andy is sometimes anally rhetorical...
