Once on a lake dive, my buddy kicked my mask loose and almost knocked my regulator loose. It was unexpected, but I didn't freak out. I equated it with getting smashed in the face with a pie (unless you've been smashed in the face with a pie, you don't know how painful and life threatening that can be, so don't even start...), waited for the laugh, and then cleared my mask and continued on.
Luckily the mask was kicked down and not up and off.
Hopefully, I react as clamly next time something like that happens.
Speaking of masks I found a nice one with snorkel still attached at Casino Point back in July. Scuba Pro, too!
Hey, I just remembered that Thad taught us to take off our tank to use in defense against shark attack, like a battering ram. Is that silly, or what? Well, it was the 70's and jaws had just come out!
