 I was diving from Peter Gibson's
boat out of St Abbs, on the east coast of Scotland on our
annual club trip. As I entered the water I was confronted with
a freeflow from my octopus Demand Valve. Not unusual you may
say but this one I couldn't stop. I abandoned the dive and,
back aboard, carefully turned my air back on. No freeflow.
Great but just a minute! We have to establish for sure that
everything is OK don't we. I stuck the DV in my mouth, exhaled
then gave it a good suck. Oh heck (or similar words). Instant
freeflow and something, I knew not what flew into my mouth and hit the back
of my throat. I coughed and spluttered for a minute but was
unharmed. Now, looking into my DV as I should have done in the
first place I spotted the problem. There was the rest of
the jellyfish.
