A full mask removal is a skill I demand my adult sons practice regularly in the cold waters of Vancouver Island (43-52F). One of my sons inadvertently knocked my mask very askew causing a full and sudden cold flood. As I regularly practice this as well the shock was not a bucket of ice water in the face but rather salt water in the eyes and an exposed nose. No big deal as I knew what would happen if cold water hit my face. It is a shocking experience, every time.
I strongly encourage this regular practice, my sons cringe at 'safety dad' but I believe one day they will thank me.
