I wonder if pinching their nose shut for a while on land first would help the transition? Some people just don't adapt very fast.
Couldn't agree more. Some things, though true, are still amazing to me.How can a grown adult not know how to breath through their mouth? Do they not exercise at all? That's scary to me. Might want to get them snorkeling to see how comfortable they really are in the water before trying Scuba training?
Or is their mask not plugging their nose or something? I can't snorkel without dive googles. I'm an air hog when snorkeling and will pull water in my nose without the mask keeping water out of my nose.
