Scuba Forum / General / December 2005Worlds Worse Nose Breather!!!
I am a massive lover of being under water but have a major problem with being a nose breather! Having my nose blocked by a mask makes me want to throw up! This really holds me back from enjoying the water and is very frustrating? Does anyone have any tips to help me out??

It's just a matter of how much money you're willing to spend... Personally, I think that your time would be better spent overcoming your issue with breathing through your mouth... When you're jogging or some other sort of activity that requires more air intake, do you still only breathe through your nose? > > Do you know if it's possible to get them for snorkeling? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > When you're jogging or some other sort of activity that requires more air > intake, do you still only breathe through your nose? Thanks for replying, I do breath through my my when i'm running as well as my noose, I consider myself a rational & inteligent person and am fully aware that it is psycological but i just can't seem to get my head round it! i suppose it's a bit like being afraid of spiders or cheese or somthing. guess i should just keep trying > Thanks for replying, I do breath through my my when i'm running as well > as my noose, I consider myself a rational & inteligent person and am > fully aware that it is psycological but i just can't seem to get my > head round it! i suppose it's a bit like being afraid of spiders or > cheese or somthing. guess i should just keep trying You can breathe through a noose as long as it's not too tight. But afraid of cheese? >> Thanks for replying, I do breath through my my when i'm running as well >> as my noose, I consider myself a rational & inteligent person and am [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >You can breathe through a noose as long as it's not too tight. But afraid >of cheese? Next thing you know, you're afraid of wine, crackers, chocolate and coffee. What a terrible waste.

Just be sure to chew your food completely before regurgitating so it doesn't get stuck and block the diaphragm from sealing. > so it doesn't get stuck and block the > diaphragm from sealing. I second the suggestion. Very bad things can happen if the diaphragm doesn't have a good seal. SignatureSteve The above can be construed as personal opinion in the absence of a reasonable belief that it was intended as a statement of fact.

If your buddy needs it, it's his fault, anyways. Signaturedillon 666 permissions of the beast >I am a massive lover of being under water but have a major problem with > being a nose breather!

For people who aren't quite as intense nose breathers, we simply put them in the water with a regulator or snorkel and no mask. You start by holding your nose and then, eventually, learn to breathe through our mouth only without holding your nose. Practice in shallow water. You're going to suck some water into your nose before you learn not to.

If he started to get nauseous, he could take it off until the nausea subsided and then put it back on. I bet it wouldn't take long to get used to it and be breathing through his mouth like the rest of us. >> For people who aren't quite as intense nose breathers, we simply put them > in [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > breathing > through his mouth like the rest of us. I wish I'd thought of that. Good idea. Lee > >> For people who aren't quite as intense nose breathers, we simply put them > > in [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Lee I don't know that it'd work, but it'd worth a try. Plus, he doesn't have to be in/around water for it to be useful. I'm going to try that, Thanks for all the sugestions everyone, i'll let you know if it works Paul :-) |
