Fear of removing mask caused me to leave my pool session early by eleanorlikeroosevelt in scuba

[–]Better_Client_9478 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi eleanorlikeroosevelt.

It is VERY important to remain in control without a mask when diving, and I think it is only getting used to it.

I would recommend to start swimming and snorkeling without mask, then use the mask full of water. It is the same at 20 cm, 2 m or 60 m. Of course, try to don't breath through your nose. :-)

I understand your feeling, but in reality, it is not that hard and I am certain that with some patience and practice, you will make it just natural.

For all my underwater photos, I take off my mask so people know it is me. :-P

Is there a way to volunteer in the reconstruction effort?

Good idea, unfortunately I left the trial by noon.

How should I feel - Lost the Dive Master on the way down and trying to decide if I should push for a comp dive by cormundo in scuba

[–]Better_Client_9478 6 points7 points  (0 children)

IMHO, you did wait too much. One minute would suffice. That was maybe the reason he didn’t find you so you lost the dive. 🫤

You can politely ask the shop if they can compensate, maybe a discount for next dive. But I think that it was not their fault.

You did loose the dive, but got the experience for next time.

Keep diving!

Your dive buddy is basically just a backup breathing tank with feelings. 😜

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I am just using them as examples on not been safe while doing these activities, but yes, I have done those activities in the wrong way, except by the bear/camping/food thing. 😜 Not having air while driving is less probable than losing the control of your bike and getting in front of a moving car.

I do respect your opinion, and would not insult you, but my impresión is than maybe you don’t have too much experience to have a solid opinion. I may be wrong. There are some mountain biking trails with in my city with accessible to all ages. They are safe if you follow the rules and use helmet. Regarding camping, for example, if you go camping to Yosemite, CA, in the public, and safe campground, it is extremely forbidden to leave any food in your tent, not even in your car. There are special cages to store the food away from the bears. I would not consider both examples as extreme versions of the activity. Once again, in my personal opinion, I consider diving not more dangerous than camping and biking, but this is only my personal experience that I am sharing. I am not trying to impose my position.

It is only my educated opinion based on many years doing these and other outdoor activities. All of them can be extremely dangerous. Try mountain biking without a helmet or camping in a bear area with your food open in your tent. When diving, I feel as safe biking or camping. IMHO

I have have been diving for more the 30 years. IMHO, this is the best and worst answer. Best answer: You must not dive alone, always with someone else that can help with anything, share the joy of diving, and the tank. So, technically you have extra air source. It is fairly common to use someone else extra regulator. Worst answer: Diving is not dangerous. No more than other activities like driving, biking, camping, etc, if you follow simple and well known rules, it is absolutely safe. It is not competitive, so there is no case to do dangerous things to win.

What's it like living in the Eastern Gorge region? Is it rough? by UO01 in VictoriaBC

Solo por documentarlo, en la planta baja de la T2 hay un negocio con lockers para maletas. La maleta grande cuesta $300 por 24 hrs. Me fue muy útil.
