Enhance your Scuba Abilities – Mask Removal

Removing and replacing a scuba mask is the skill that most new divers worry about. However with a few simple steps you can master this skill.

Mask clearing: Before you learn to remove and replace your mask completely you should practice clearing the mask until you are comfortable with this skill.

 

Remember - when clearing scuba masks start breathing out before you tilt your head up to prevent water going up your nose.

The magic snorkel: To prepare in advance for the mask removal you can practice at home with a snorkel. Fill a basin with COLD water and place your face in the water. Breathe thru the snorkel to become comfortable with having your face in water whilst still breathing. Each time you do it try and stay an additional couple of breaths till you are employed up to 30 seconds.

Practice in your comfort zone: When you are able to practice at your next scuba diving session demand to practice (heck you are paying for it-the instructor WORKS FOR YOU) in the shallow end first before going into the deeper water. When you do have to do the mask removal, try and take things slow and focus on your respiring when you are twitchy. If you need to, throw the panic signal up sign and your instructor will bring you to the surface. Mask removal and replace step by step:

1. Fill your mask with water by breaking the seal

2. Take a moment to breathe and become comfortable with having your face covered by water.

3. Remove the mask strap and take the mask away from your face.

4. DO NOT LET GO OF THE MASK!

5. Make sure your snorkel is clear and to the side of the mask.

6. Place your thumb in the nose pocket and guide it back to your face.

7. Place the mask strap over your head and confirm it's not twisted.

8. Feel round the skirt of the mask to make certain nothing is caught in it, hood or hair, also to make certain it is not tucked up.

9. Clear the mask as you have been practicing before.

Remember the point of the practice sessions is to build your confidence, if things are not going well ask to take five and come back to the skill later. When you master a new scuba diving ability theres always a great sense of accomplishment. Guaranteeing you are assured with mask clearing, practice with the magic snorkel at home and taking things slowly in the pool session will help you remove and replace your mask simply and with confidence.

Bleach Episode 40 Ichigo mask song?

I know this probably isn't the first time you hear this song, but what is the name of the song that plays in episode 40 of bleach that plays in the scene where ichigo discovers the mask in his pocket and Yoruichi takes it away from him. It is an ominous song that plays in scenes throughout the series when there are mysterious things going on.
Sorry, it's actually in episode 41. Does anyone know the name of the song that plays when Ichigo tells Yoruichi that he had thrown away the hollow mask prior to the fight with Kenpachi Zaraki. It starts right when Yoruichi asks for the mask. It is played frequently throughout the series when there are mysterious or ominous circumstances, but this was the episode that I thought of that it plays in.
