Around here we do a lot of beach entries through surf.
Lost masks are a very frequent occurrence.
Do you wear a hood when you dive?
The mask strap is now under the hood.
- Put the hood on first, and pull the top portion back and down so the face part is around your neck.
- Next put your mask on your bare head in the normal way.
- Finally, pull the top of the hood onto your head.
The mask can not come off without removing the hood,
even if you're hit by a big wave.
I've used this method for years during some hellish surf entries... and never lost a mask.

That's how I wear my hood. My wife wears it over, so she has to adjust her slap strap frequently plus the skirt can have the hood under it (makes no sense to me).
