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.

I 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 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.
