Was out diving last weekend and when I was at a depth of only about 20+ metres and in a position whereby my head was lower than my feet, I started inhaling some drops of sea water. It's never happened before, so I'm wondering if it's something wrong with my reg.

The other problem I had was when I was in a trim position, and after deploying the SMB, I turned up head to check the SMB, and wasn't able to inhale. When I turned my head down again, the reg started operating as per normal.

Would be grateful if someone could tell me if there's something wrong or is it a peculiarity with the reg.

Cheers!
 
The first part sounds normal, I too get a 'wet reg' if I'm upside down.

Not sure not on the second part... :-/
