Thank you so much for these tips. I’ve been struggling with this too. Just started to learn scuba diving—two times in the pool so far. I love to snorkel, but with a mask!! Don’t like water up or around my nose. Always plugged my nose going underwater w/o a mask in the past for many, many years.
These tips are really helping me too. I practiced in the pool today with just goggles and a snorkel (clipped to my goggle strap) and swam for over an hour blowing bubbles out my nose and breathing in through the snorkel.
I definitely have more confidence now and feeling more comfortable. Will keep practicing. Next scuba pool session is a week away. Should be doing much better by then. Thanks again!!
