I'm sort of a new diver with 60 dives. After a few dives, not all, I noticed some blood in my spit. I tend to spit after a dive. I don't know why. Maybe because there's a little saltwater or just yucky feeling stuff in my mouth. The 1st time It happened the spit was orange,brownish but not red. Hmm, okay I don't feel any pain, I'm still alive. Maybe it was the O.J. or something I had for breakfast. I spat 2 more times and it went back to normal. The last dive I did was 130ft dive on 28% nitrox for 26min with safety stop included. This time I had red(blood) in my spit. It was enough to make me really concerned. I felt fine and no pain. Spat a few more times. Less blood and spit looked normal again. I wasn't congested or had a cold on these dives and I can equalize easily. I was trying to find more info in the Padi books but haven't really found good information on it.
