May 2019 Safety Message: Your Dive Mask….Can you still put it back on underwater?

Hey do you remember way back when you were certified to SCUBA dive? During the class the instructor almost certainly ask you to take your mask off and put it back on underwater. This is standard training in all certification classes.

But, when was the last time you did this? Do you still remember how? Do you need a refresher?

If it’s been a few years since you did this exercise I recommend you try it with your dive buddy watching to keep you out of trouble. Or even better, practice in a swimming pool sometime.

I recommend that all you lobster divers practices before the season opens again. You never know when you’re lobster diving buddy might accidentally kick you in the face and knock your mask off.

Be Safe…Dive Safe
