    Struggling to clear my mask during Scuba training.

    Humming is a way to keep positive pressure in your sinuses. If you are looking down / ahead and humming, I don't think you'll get any water up your nose.

    Not the best swimmer...

    Competitive swimming isn't the same as swimming in the open ocean. Swimming to a victim and towing them in wind, waves, and current is a different kettle of fish than a 400m freestyle at a swim meet.

    Rescue or ???

    One example of a rescue is to drop the weights of someone struggling on the surface & put air in their BC. It's not necessarily a ascent from 100 ft. and a 400m tow.

    Rescue or ???
