Breathing underwater with no dive mask. How to be totally comfortable if your scuba mask falls off.

greatdivers.com
Not everybody is comfortable no diving mask on their face and not being able to cover their nose. In fact, many students in scuba classes I've had in the past had problems at first distinguishing between breathing through their nose and breathing through their mouth. This exercise is simply to put your face in the water with no mask on, and not covering your nose with your fingers or anything else, and then breathe through the snorkel for at least a minute.
For many people this is almost a non-skill which seems overly simple, but if you are one of the people who are not comfortable without a mask on and something covering your nose, then I suggest practicing this skill over and over until it becomes comfortable for you. There are many times in scuba diving when a mask may possibly come off. Knowing that it's not a big deal and that you can swim and easily ascend without a mask on is a good confidence builder for your scuba diving.
