You have to be able to breathe in/out to really 'cry'...Maybe with an O2 tank??..Next time you cry, try shutting your mouth and plugging your nose -can you bring more then a drop down your cheek, maybe two? -Interesting question..

it would be pretty difficult, cuz you can't breath underwater.

I wouldn't think so. Maybe you could shed a tear or two but not all out sobbing. I know when I really cry I sob like a baby, so I'd drown.

I agree with your point about the sobbing. Sobbing requires heavy breathing so it would be impossible to sob underwater unless you had an oxygen tank.

Why wouldn't you be able to cry under water? Just because the tears aren't visible doesn't mean they aren't there.

Yep, you wouldn't feel the tears, just like how you wouldn't feel your sweat when you are swimming, but you could feel the emotion of crying inside you.

Sure,why not.It just wouldn't run down your face,it'd mix with the other water instead.Unless of course you were diving.Then it might pool in your face mask.

Good thinking, I think your the first one to say that after 50 something responses. However, the tears would fill up in the goggles, wouldn't they? They'll make your vision murky.

Of course you cannot cry underwater. Crying requires a lot of deep breathing, which cannot be done underwater.

You could breathe if you were equipped with an oxygen tank. Thanks for responding, by the way.:)
