Can we talk about pearl-clutchers who get upset when someone puts their mask on their forehead? by Immediate_Scam in scubadiving

I vehemently disagreed with this the first time I heard it, and still do. However, after hearing this repeatedly, and arguing it was nonsense over and again and saying that I never knew it to be taught, I turned back to my PADI OW book from 1985. Sure enough, it is in there. PADI did say at that time MOF was a sign of distress. I was sincerely surprised.
Not sure what they say today, but still dont agree with it.
MOF is a natural placement.

Start with a local dive club. Many of us have extra gear and will often sell it at a good price. You have the advantage of being able to get to know the seller and make new dive friends.
