Odins sometimes have a tendency to breathe "wet" and send a spray at the back of your throat. Possible causes: 1. "Skungy buildup" on the exhaust valve, causing slight leakage. To fix, clean. 2. The tiny Oring under the +- switch gets worn and leaks. There is a kit for replacing it, if your shop can get it. If you have this problem during a dive, getting into the habit of tilting your head toward the exhaust valve during exhale will keep the breathing chamber dry. Hope this helps....Paul Smith On Tue, 15 Aug 1995, R_LAROCQUE (418) 775-0792 wrote: > Whenever I get below 130 fsw in cold water (4degC), my Poseidon Odin starts > blowing bits of ice down my throat.
