Aim
To remove a scuba mask underwater, breathe normally while it's off, replace the mask and clear it.
Reason to Learn
While unlikely, it is possible that your mask can be knocked off while diving. This could be caused by accidentally making contact with another diver or by a broken mask strap. You may also want to intentionally remove your mask underwater in order to adjust the strap or change masks. It is therefore important to become comfortable with not wearing a mask and with putting it back on.
Step 1
Begin by relaxing and breathing normally. If you wear contact lenses you will need to close your eyes during this exercise. Even if you don't wear contact lenses you might find it more comfortable to keep your eyes closed.
