# 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 indeed
when you run out of air at the bottom anyway

# It wasn't pleasant
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.

Sorry.

# 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.
