I don't have any issue with mask off. I have an issue with mask on and filled with water. Even today.

fmfalman, I don't like it, either -- particularly when said water is full of corrosive chlorine! But as I told my student from last night, everybody's got a rattle. The ocean finds them and exploits them to cause problems, so the best route is to work on whatever it is until it doesn't rattle you any more (thanks to Rick Murchison, I believe, for the metaphor).

Naturally things get better with exposure. I simply want to let newbies know that they aren't alone in having these quirks.
