Recently heard someone trying to tell me that you should not drink fizzy drinks before diving as this will encourage bubble formation as you are absorbing bubbles into the bloodstream.....(not the bit about caffine effecting ADH secreation, causing dehydration)
I instantly dismissed this as rubbish, although I know this is rubbish why exactly is it rubbish?
I said it was because gases are absorbed throught the lungs, no gas can be absorbed through the stomach. Threrfore unless you are inhaling the fizzy drink it will not be a problem.... But is this correct.
