Good-day,
I'm a total newb, today is my second check-dive. I think I'm competent with regards to clearing my mask, but when I take my mask completely off I have some difficulty keeping my breathing in check. When the bubbles go over my nose and eyes it feels really strange, mainly because those areas aren't exposed at all times. Although when we were drilling in the pool during classes, we had to swim a couple laps without our mask on and I felt fine. The problem is when the bubbles are going over my face where the mask usually is. I would assume it's just a matter of experiance and training. Just wondering if other people had any difficulties having the mask completely off. Suggestions? Thanks.
