I saw a show on TV today where a group of scuba divers were preparing to?


dive into the ocean and they spit into their goggles!! No explanation was given. Is this a tradition? Does it mean good luck? any scuba divers out there who can answer this??

What were the circumstances that killed a diver at Stoney Cove?

they do it because
saliva has natural chemicals in it

it helps alot

because it is more sanitary

but saliva is more readily available and less expensive.. if you notice, they washed the saliva out before putting on the mask (or they should have)
