What is normal depends not on the bc but how much weight you are carrying. If you are under weighted and continuously trying to vent the bc it is naturally going to have water forced into it. If you are getting a lot of water in the bc you need to look at your weighting and technique before looking at the bc. Also are you venting in a horizontal or vertical position? If vertical then there is even more chance for water to get into the bc. Try adjusting your weights the way you should have been shown in your OW class and get horizontal. Divers do not dive vertical. and when dumping air there should be no reason to be constantly dumping. Properly weighted you will use only small bursts adding or venting. I rarely have more than a few ounces in any rig if any at all.

OK I feel better, I end up with about a half a cup in it. Not to bad but something to work on.
