Now he is the size of a whale, his sounds travel further, so I suspect it's that.

I hummed "The British Grenadier" to the seals last time I dived Isle de Phoques......they seemed to find it.......interesting.

I think that as diving is something totally alien to the usual human experiance that our brains can at times attempt to 'make sense' of the sounds and sensations in some odd way beyond the input from the conscious mind.

Maybe for whatever reason your brain is trying to rationalise the sound of inspiration.

It'll probably pass of its own accord.

Good explanation. It's just odd that it's only just started.

It could have been distant boat engines as, each time it's happened, there would've been boats in the area. But I know what they sound like underwater, and this doesn't sound like that. It's more of a groaning sound.

Gas coming down the hose?

I used to be able to hear it from one particular 2m hose, although I wouldn't describe it as voices!

Oooh, could be! It's not a new hose, although the first stage has recently had a mini-service. Could it be that, I wonder?

Get it right! Its imps that live in cameras and paint the pictures! Gnomes wouldn't fit, and anyway, they have no artistic ability!

1. Hmm....do you only hear them whilst diving, if not I know some people it may be helpful to talk to........I will be in Plymouth next week if you want a consultation.

2. If only when diving, has your buddy done a bubble check, any gas leakage ? How is your kit configured if the sound appears to be from your right ear ?

3. Do you always remember to take the parrot off of your shoulder before leaving the boat ?

1. Yes. The voices I hear when not diving usually have real people attached to them.
2. No. Hogarthian rig, single cylinder.
3. Yes.

Have you always dived with the same buddy while these voices are being heard?

Does he have a side job being a ventriquists?
