note to self, after a great dive take the mask off close to surface and see how bad salt stings the eye.
IME, it depends on the salinity. The somewhat more salty Mediterranean water stings my eyes slightly, while NE Atlantic water doesn't sting noticably. I lost my mask during one of my OW course dives (got it kicked off by one of the other students), and my first reaction was "hey, why is everything suddenly so blurry?" When I next saw my mask tumbling leisurely through the water in front of me, I didn't even think. I just reached out, took the mask, put it on, cleared it and continued the dive. No stingy eyes at all
