Today me and my dive buddy Andy were diving to 15.5 metres, total dive time about 1 min 10 secs.
Andy did 2 dives to the bottom. He also dived the day before to the same depth and duration 4 or 5 times.
After his 2 dives today he began to cough up phlegm which contained small amounts of oxygenated blood. He immediately stopped diving and it stopped after about half an hour. Andy had been suffering from a mild cold about a week before, he had also done two 5 mile runs in the last 3 days.
He dives to the above depth and duration on a regular basis (at least twice per week) and has a static apnea time of 4 min 24 secs.
Does anyone have any idea why this happened or has suffered similar effects?
PS - We need help to stop this. Apart from jacking my heart rate up it looked pretty disgusting.
