Hi from the UK,

I've just joined ScubaBoard. I'm in the middle of my DM training and wanted some tips on perfecting my mask fill/clear. My search brought me here and it looks like a pretty useful site.

Hopefully I'll get some tips and make some friends along the way

Hi there - I'm also from the UK and I'm about to complete my PADI Open Water dives for certification.

I found that the main problem I had was the thermal shock to my nose which was very unpleasant. We were told to allow the water in nice and slow to give our nose/face time to acclimatise, with that advice I did find it a lot easier and not as distressing. It was so much easier in the pool and warm seas.

The other problem I have is getting the mask seal straight whilst wearing thick gloves, this was worth practicing in the pool whilst wearing the gloves you wear for open water dives.

Where will you be doing the open water dive for the course?
