I'm a new diver and during one of my shallow dives, I took one of the biggest farts in my life halfway through my dive. I was wearing a 3mm wetsuit, weight belt, booties and a hoodie. Immediately after that I realized I was getting really bouyant and from the trapped air in my wetsuit. The weightbelt I had on was not helping as it was trapping the air inside my wetsuit, so I went upside down to try to get the bubbles out. I think I was only able to get some out as I was still pretty bouyant after that. If you have not died from laughter yet I have these two questions:
- Why did I get bouyant after farting? I'm assuming I had that gas in me before I jumped into the water properly weighted. I was also neutrally bouyant at the bottom.
- If this were to happen again, what is the best way to overcome it?
Thanks!
