I took a Resort Certification course and had to break the seal of my mask to add a little water and purge it, then halfway and purge it, and then fill it up. Yeah..I did all of them and on the last one, a contact floated out of my eye. What should I do as I know I will most likely have to repeat all of this in a certification class? Just keep my eyes shut the entire time? That could be a bit freaky when I am out of the pool and into the ocean, no?
And don't your eyes burn like crazy whether or not you have contacts and flood your mask?
When my contact flew out, I was more focused on that then the breathing and ended up holding my breath, which trust me, I know is a big no no.
I would appreciate any insight you guys could give.
TIA
On a totally unrelated subject, is there a list of acronyms or commonly used terms that could help a newbie like me. For example, I guess Divemaster is DM? And what the heck is a safety sausage?
