Hi all,
Just got an OTS Guardian and tried it out in the pool for the first time. Everything was great, but since I have a beard, I had a regular stream of bubbles coming out of the face mask and despite trying to reposition it and adjust straps multiple times, I couldn’t get the stream of bubbles to stop. Most of the bubbling was when I would look down - if I looked forward (in horizontal position) they would virtually cease. Any tips/help to avoid this? I really don’t want to be wasting air throughout a dive and I’d rather not shave the beard (which I have just grown this year).
I ordered a full face mask hood in hopes that this will alleviate the problem, even though diving a hood in the tropics this winter will be somewhat odd.
Thanks for any help!
Gerry
