More confidence in PADI Confined Water Dive 2

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.
