particularly powerful what i was taught if we get in these when i was diving in palau is that ultimately it can cause disorientation and if you start spinning like that and you stay in it and you don't kick out of it the second thing that's happening at the same time without you knowing is you're also going down so the spinning part is not holding you but the down can be strong and you are you don't have a point of reference because you're spinning you're probably not looking at your computer then that's when the problem can get serious so to your point not a big deal if it's a couple of spins right but you do want to kick out of it and try to get yourself oriented so you're not spinning so you can look at your dive computer because you may have just dropped NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN feet and as you know gus in a dive profile if we had planned a hundred foot dive and now all of a sudden we're at NUMBER_TOKEN quickly that can change things dramatically that can be a problem especially an open circuit yeah sure okay um can could could it help if you just inflate like if you're sideways if it's a if it's a ring and it's not going up or down could you just hammer the inflator and as soon as you get out of a dump but you're like i don't know NUMBER_TOKEN feet above it or whatever so again i haven't had a lot of experience with this i'm just remembering what they briefed us in palau because you get into these downdrafts is don't automatically go for the hammering that's your reaction yeah let me hammer man that's going to bring me up because are you in fact going down or are you just spinning and you're it's not really bringing you down because then that could rocket you up and for sure cause an issue right what they the biggest thing they stress was you gotta get your vertigo your dizziness out under control to figure out what's happening and then focus on your dive computer because you're gonna be completely disoriented from the bubbles and the spinning and then make as you said a calm rational decision right and it's not going to be typically too hard to kick up at that point last thing though before before we go because i know some people are thinking about this is what happens if you get super dizzy and you throw up because i've seen several comments of people saying you know especially when we're talking about don shirley and he was throwing up during deco and whatever how do you even throw up underwater what if you have to cough what if you have to spit like a lot of people are concerned about this regulators actually can handle all of that if you have to throw up you can throw up through your regulator if you have to cough you can cough spit whatever through your regulators modern regulators can handle all that stuff so we get that question a lot in the comments now you know
