Is it possible to throw up under water?

Question

I mean with the changes in pressure pushing on your body?

i was swimming in deep water today and i wondered.

haven't got the guts to try it tho hehe

Answer 1

you might but you'd die because all the water that goes into your lungs.

Answer 2

Yes, you can throw up under water. When you learn how to scuba dive, they make a point of reassuring you that you can throw up through your regulator (the thing you put in your mouth so you can breathe) so that if you feel the need to throw up while under water, you don't need to take the regulator out.

Answer 3

as soon as your stomach opens up to release the vomit water would rush in due to the greater external pressure

Answer 4

no matter what the pressure is, i think you could through up under water

Answer 5

Certainly.  I have seen scuba divers vomit into their regulators during heavy wave action.

Answer 6

oh yes, and it's very serious.

you can drown in your own vomit and it doesn't matter if your underwater or not.
