Thank you for doing this video.. I nailed my mask clearing skill right after watching this.The crucial part was to exhale through the nose with a firm, steady exhalation as opposed to the blast exhale. I still get water up my nose and drink some whilst doing it, but did much better than I did before watching this!
Was your eye vision blurry when you opened your eyes underwater and with water in the mask?
If you can do this, you don't need a mask do you??
Damn dude that was super clear and easy. Thanks
it's midnight, I live in a land locked state, never even been scuba diving but yet here I am wtf
Doesn't exhaling through the nose just fog up the mask again?
thank you so much cant wait to give it a go …this skill is the one im most scared of on the scuba intro im doing soon. But now I can practice with my snorkel gear. again thank you so much im far less anxious.
Nice simple, straight-forward example with emphasis on slow clearing. Too many SCUBA training videos on YouTube give bad advice or don't explain key points well, but this one is simple, accurate and effective.
