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 becausesaliva has natural chemicals in it

in the water
it helps alot

When is the best time to go surfing in bali ?
It keeps the glass clear.What kind of bait do you catch trout fish with?
The main reason this is done is to prevent the goggles to prevent them from fogging up. The saliva makes a barrier against the goggle surface.No not a tradition. I am a PADI scuba instructor and spitting into your mask helps prevent it from fogging up. You can instead use a purchased product but spit is much cheaper!
Are there any guys that like to surf?
saliva actually has anti-fogging propertiessome people use things like Sea Drops (http://www.amazon.com/a-plus-supply-aplu...
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)
