    Well, I have the Poseidon Mk6 so I can just flick a switch, feed the fish, switch back and I'm good to go!

    It is not an optimum thing to throw up into the DSV.

    The chunks will cause the flapper valves to malfunction and you will end up with a CO2 hit.

    Not to mention the fact that you will have to continue to breathe and rebreathe your own puke while on the loop.

    Please keep in mind that there is a gage reflex with throwing up. The gasp after throwing up would be the problem. We used to teach going to the octo and puking through that. Then you could go back to the primary regulator. Please be sure to rinse out the octo or 2nd properly. Rinse and a good exhale should clean out the one way valve. As mentioned DSV would have multiple other issues.

    I think you might want to ask yourself why you were about to throw up? The only time I had the feeling to do so was on a dive in Eagles Next. It did not happen but I removed the OC reg from my bailout bottle and held it in my hand for the entire return swim to the exit just in case. Later I determined that it was caused by some CO2 bypassing the scrubber and took some measures to prevent that from happening in the future. Not a feeling I want to experience at 280ft in a cave again in the future.

    And I thought that was caused by diving with me.

    I have that feeling up an "upwelling" quite often as a result of seasickness, luckily it disappears as soon as I hit the water.
