Yes, but you can only see it when you have goggles on. Your eyes can definitely tear underwater, but since tears and water are both clear, you cannot see yourself cry underwater. It is possible, though.

We just aren't designed to function well underwater. You cant talk underwater because our voice box uses air to create sound, the energy of the sound travelling through the air you expel from your lungs isn't transferred effectively to the water, so you don't really hear much. contrary to the last answer posted here, the speed of sound in water is roughly 4 times faster than in air, explaining why things sound just that little bit closer underwater. you can hear underwater speakers, so its possible, if you breathed water, I guess.

Sound consists of vibrations, waves formed by variations in density of a medium.

Liquids and solids can carry vibrations, too, and at a higher speed than in gases, because the molecules are closer together.

Your ears can pick up vibrations and sound in water, but the difference in density means that voices don't sound the same as in air. So conversation is practically impossible. Scuba divers communicate mostly by hand signals.

Depends.

Our vocal chords need a steady airflow past them to create our voices. That doesn't work particularly well under water.

If you take a deep breath, dive and say something it mostly comes out as bubbles.

If you're underwater, but still has your head in air. Like in a sub, a dive helmet etc you can talk just fine.


You can you your vocal chords underwater, although it may not travel as much because the atoms are thicker than air, and sound waves travel differently. You can speak under water, yes. Though it may be harder for someone else to process what you are saying. The air that comes out kind of ruins the pronunciation and you may think you can't because of that.

Unassisted, not very well.
