Vomiting underwater scuba diving

While you are vomiting, Do NOT take out your regulator! just press your regulator and clear it out, The vomit will be forced out the regulator in the same way your exhaled breath is. Nothing will get into your air supply because air does not flow back into your cylinder.

Happened to me at 70 feet this weekend. As you state in the description, don't remove your regulator, and don't panic. Your regulator will clear. I found my dive master and immediately had her take me to decompression depth. Once I timed out, I surfaced.

Yep. Happened to me 2 weeks ago on my first open water. I was thankful for the advice to vomit into the regulator should it happen. Turns out I get very sick.

Hang on. A video of someone vomiting while scuba diving popped into my recommendations.

Terrible feeling. Almost had to puke underwater near coiba Panama. Started panicking a bit but got it under control. But reaaaaalllllyyy uncomfortable.

Wouldn't the acid from the vomit break the regulator

[@MegaFPVFlyer]

Not immediately, no. You should ABSOLUTELY give it a very thorough rinse and take it in for a service afterwards, though.

[@jordanbarton4370]

How would you get the tasty smell out

[@MegaFPVFlyer]

@jordanbarton4370 the shop would disinfect it when they take it apart and service it

[@jordanbarton4370]

Oh OK thanks

[@rajgill7576]

Oh man. Youre just meant to puke theough the regulator? And then keep breathing vomit flavored air after?? Aw man 🤮

[@marlaprobst1185]

You don't really taste it, and you can't smell it underwater.
