Just a curious question on this slow day...
As part of the solo "standard" (PADI, SSI), one of the pieces of equipment you should carry is a backup mask, if, for some reason, your primary mask either breaks or becomes dislodged. While I carry a backup mask when I dive solo, I have never had to use it. So I was wondering, has anyone experienced the true need to use their backup mask while soloing, and if so, what caused you to have to use it?
