I can confirmwhen you almost drown, then you need to be underwater.
also, it seems if you swim too deep with just a snorkel, when you come back up, your ears and nose bleed and your parents ban you from swimming in the sea without supervision.

how the fuck deep did have to go for the pressure to make your face bleed?
I'm not really sure.The boat said about 12m to seabed.
I dropped my mask. borrowed my sister's, then watched mine slowly float to the bottom. It was very clear water, so i thought, "yeh, I'll swim down and get it."
I was fine going down, other than it quickly got very cold. when I grabbed the mask, i realised i didn't really have much air left in the lungs and kicked like fuck to get back to the surface, which seemed like far to long.
My nose and right ear bled. I didn't die though, but you never know, I might be impotent or have cancer.

12 metres is a very long way indeedwhen you run out of air at the bottom anyway

It wasn't pleasantI was rather desperate by about halfway up.
It certainly isn't something I would attempt again. Kind of scary with the ear-bleeding, but my hearing still seems ok.

I think your ear drums burst due to the pressure at 30 metres, unless you partake in some kind of special breathing regulation which free divers do.I think if you are using lots of blood flow, such as whilst trying to not die, whilst you have very little oxygen in your blood and are at a higher pressure you can burst capilleries if I remember rightly. Which would explain your nose and ears bleeding.
