Can we cry under the water?

• I would have thought the need to open the mouth and gasp for air (even if only crying a little before submerging!) would make this impossible. Tear ducts may well still work under water, initially, though?

• No thats not possible, though its obvious to think that tear ducts should work really fine under water. Density of water is more than that of air. When you are under water that fluide pressure wont let tear to come out.
