Duh! Of course if the hose is reinforced and more rigid than your chest

your breath.



Take your "Duh" and shove it, schmuck. You're simply continuing to display
your own ignorance.


The 'squeeze' that

another poster has referred to. This limits me to a depth of about
4 - 5ft. Any deeper and I have a coughing fit after re-surfacing.
Apparently that's caused by bits of the lungs collapsing, and the
coughing is a reaction to the little subchambers unsticking again.
Nasty feeling.


The air needs to be pumped down at the ambient pressure of your lungs.
After a couple feet *most* people can't suck hard enough to get air.
You might be the exception.



That's what those of us who know something about diving physics have been
saying from the beginning, and what you've been totally oblivious to. Glad
you're beginning to catch on.

This schmuck is a Navy diver. How about you?
