There's no way that's real, unless he's got some kind of ring shaped membrane that he can spit out. I don't see any reason why air would hold that shape

Uncle Pug (Ron S. among probably others) knows how to blow rings. I'm not sure if he's on this board.

My dive guide in Maui could do it amazingly well. He would have several rings stacked up in a row all going up... It is amazing how long they hold their shape and continue to expand.

A few years ago I was doing this in a pool while my friend was teaching an OW class. Two of the students saw me on my back and tried to rescue me. Probably because my rings aren't very good.

I remeber when I first met you, you told me about how you used to "blow bubbles" in the bathtub when you were a bit younger.


Well, I heard last week that "bubbles" is now out on parole and looking for you.

Was it the ever nutty Shaka Doug? He has the record for blowing the most bubble rings blown in a single breath of air.... like a dolphin.
