Well said tmac_diver. People just dont want to here that a person in distress almost always will flip there mask off.This is not saying every diver who does it is in distress.I dont understand the big deal with keeping your mask on.If it bothers you that much you may want to try another sport.Very few things are comfortable in diving.But this is a crazy jersey person saying this.So please next time you are in distress tell somebody or should they just let you drown.I would rahter a person come to me and ask then just guess that I am ok but thats me.
