Enhance your Scuba Talents - Mask Removal

Removing and replacing a scuba mask is the talent that most new divers stress about. However with some simple steps you can master this skill.
Mask clearing
Before you learn how to remove and replace your mask utterly you must practice clearing the mask till you are ok with this skill.
Remember - when you clear the mask start breathing out before you tilt your head up to stop water going up your nose.
Fill a basin with water and place your face in the water.
Each time you do it try and stay an additional couple of breaths till you're employed up to 30 seconds.
Practice in your comfort zone
When you can your next scuba diving session ask practice in the shallow end first before going into the deeper water.
If you panic signal the up sign and your instructor will bring you to the surface.
Mask removal and replace - step by step

    Remember the point of the practice sessions are to build your confidence, if things are not going well ask to take five and come back to the ability later. Making sure you are confident with mask clearing, practice with the sorcery snorkel at home and taking things slowly in the pool session will help you remove and replace your mask without effort and confidence.
    Good luck!
