Scuba Gear - Scuba Equipment

A friend told me today that when ascending from a dive, you cannot inhale from your regulator, because of lung over-expansion. He said that you can only exhale by blowing slow bubbles until you reach the surface. Is this all true?????????????? The main rule is never hold your breath while ascending and never ascend too [...]

When breathing normally through my regulator, my nose keeps on blowing bubbles, whether I’m inhaling or exhaling. My instructor says he has never seen something like it. What is my problem? I don’t think that there [...]

I know that scuba tanks are pressurized to 3000 psi. This is then released by the regulator to a pressure close to the water pressure for breathing. Now refrigeration works by pressurizing a gas, letting it cool down to ambient temperature, and then decompressing it. In the decompression it gets colder. How come the 3000 [...]
