I have recently began to push myself more in free diving in the last six months. Two weeks ago I did a personal best free diving the cave at Blue Springs in Orange City. I did three practise dives to "warm up." On the fourth I passed 45ft and came up just fine. On the 5th and final I made around 55 ft or so. I came up feeling good as well. I started to feel like I had congestion so I began spitting out. Shortly after I began spitting out blood for a duration of about 30 minutes first it stopped and then it came back a few more times. Besides the blood which alarmed me some, I felt perfectly fine. If any one can steer me the right way, I'm not sure if I got squeezed or if it had to do with the fact that I didn't tuck in my chin during the dives.
This past weekend I went back again just to practise decending slower and work on my ear equalization and after doing just another 45ft dive I came up feeling fine and started spitting out blood again after a couple minutes. Thanks for any help!
