I am scared of diving without a purge mask!

Believe it or not, until my AOW I did not know how to set up my own equipment!

Ummm, you must be really cute!

You say you are going to Cozumel, there are excellent shore dives there where you can practice taking off your mask underwater. Sit on the bottom at like 5' with your knees in the sand and do it. Then do it again. With practice and experience, you will lose your anxiety over it. We fear the unknown, so the best tack to take is to make it Known!

That is a fantastic idea! I am staying at the Occidental Grand. Is there a shore dive near there for me to practice at?

Its my husband who thinks I'm cute! But now I have to set up my own equipment ever since my AOW instructor made me do it. Boo hoo!
