More confidence in PADI Confined Water Dive 2

Dive 1 was all about getting used to breathing underwater and feeling relaxed while scuba diving. PADI Confined Water Dive 2 is all about focussing on more advanced scuba skills like the PADI Mask Removal and Replacement skill. Confined Dive 2 also prepares you for Confined Dive 3.

Scuba Mask Skills during Confined Dive 2

Some new scuba diver students worry a bit about the mask clearing skills, especially the Mask Removal, Replacement and Clearing skill. This is not needed as the skills are simple if you stay relaxed and don't overthink. We wrote some great tips on how to clear a scuba mask here.
First we recommend you to stay relaxed and know that you are in shallow water, so you can always stand up if you don't like the skill. Slowly take off your mask and then when you are ready put it back on. The mask will now be full of water. To clear this you just breath into your mouth and then out of your nose while slightly looking up.

All PADI Confined Water Water Dive 2 Skills in order

  • Dive Equipment Assembly
  • Put on dive equipment using proper technique
