Your tears are salty, about 1/3 of sea water, but it doesn't hurt! I jump in many times and put my mask on underwater! You can't read gages but in the Caribbean you can see without a mask enough to survive! In cold California water I might carry a spear, but more for thermal protection than safety!

Ummmm ... maybe. An interesting exercise (which I have tried): Swim out 100 yards from the entry point on a compass bearing, remove your mask, and try swimming back to the entry point on the reciprocal. It's tough. If you pass with flying colors, try the same thing at night. :wink: There is a good case for carrying an extra mask when solo diving.
 
The dive is over and you surface! I never suggested that you should continue diving as a solo diver without a mask! Even if you have a buddy the dive is over and you surface!
