*Disclaimer* Not a good thread to read while eating!
Hello. I apologize if this has been discussed recently. I tried a search and did not really find what I was looking for. It's kind of a disgusting topic but I will be diving at depth for the first time ever in a few weeks and this is one of the things I'm worried about.
During my OW course, the instructor said if you must hurl to do it into your reg. I have some serious concerns about this. First, I'm worried that the force would blow the reg out of my mouth then I'd involuntarily suck in a breath of water. Also, if the reg couldn't handle the volume and backed up, I'm worried it would go up my nose choking me on puke, or at least causing major panic.
I realize the chances are very low of this happening but I'd like to be prepared for all calamities! Has anyone actually gone through this and if so, is this indeed the best method? It seems like taking the reg out and barfing into the ocean would be safer, assuming you got your reg back in your mouth before you inhale.
