Not quite a phobia, but it's very difficult for me to stay calm if I can't breath, or to breath slowly, if the breathing hole is very narrow.

Awh, that is nasty! I guess a lot of people feel like that. Well, I´m different. The breathing hole cant be too small ...

Gas masks with rebreather bags are awesome, some hoods have breath play elements (like a latex hood with only a pinhole to breathe through)

Yes, they are absolutely great! But unfortunately I don´t have the money for that kind of gear at the moment ... 😟

You could get one of these rubber strips for gymnastics and use it like a scarf, eventually also cover mouth and nose or even the complete face. this allows very good control over how much you can breathe.
Also latex masks come at fairly low prices. I have one that fits snugly, allows breathing through two small near the nose and has eye openings. If I cover the eye openings, breathing gets much harder. If the breathing holes are slightly out of position then, I cannot breathe at all. So there are various levels of breathing.
Of course, if you faint, you are done, if your breath is blocked. But I think, there is no faint safe item, except for real people watching you.

Got myself one of those new scuba masks for snorkeling. They are quite cheap and a loooooot of fun to play with!

Its a great alternative to a gas mask.
If you have more breathplay ideas, feel free to share them! 😊

Swim caps are easy to find and cheap. I like to wear one to cover my hair and another over my face (the one over my hair keeps the other one from sliding off my face). I have a short piece of thick plastic tubing that I place above my ear to direct fresh air to my face.
I still get the effect of the cap on my face collapsing against my face with every inhalation but the tubing keeps enough fresh air coming in to prevent any bad results. The feel of the cap on my face as it heats up and moisture collects, the sound of the rubber flapping back and forth against my face...delicious.

Interesting mask... Diving-wise or, rather, suspending-in-the-water-wise.

Quote:To stop water re-entering the snorkel, the Easybreath mask is equipped with a mechanism which seals the top of the snorkel when submerged.
That wouldn't be a table-tennis ball in a cage would it? The ball that's prone to suddenly imploding if you dive too deep? I remember those being made illegal when I was a kid over forty years ago.
