How you know your mask is on too tight *pic*

Okay, so I'm a bad boy and even though I promised not to post this on the Internet it's been a slow day and I'm bored.

Was diving in Bermuda with a group of people on the wreck of the Constellation when after the dive, a young woman complained of having a pounding headache. She said it was probably due to her sinuses.

After she took her mask off, I told her I had a sneaking suspicion that maybe, just maybe her sinuses were fine and not the source of the problem.

Then I fell over laughing.

D.

Im surprised the outer ring wasnt deeper. Sometimes I see people with a 1mm deep painful looking outer mask ring. Looks like this poor girl took the brunt of it between the eyes. This gives me a headache just to look at.

Ow, reminds me of the first time I put on a mask...
I had no idea that you could adjust the straps so it would fit better!!...
Shakes head.

OUCH!!! Nothing that a couple beers or a rum and coke couldn't take care of.

At least she didn't put her mask up all the way on her forehead. International sign of distress you know.

So what was she signalling with her mask embedded in her forehead?

The International symbol for 'Bring me a Rum and Coke'?

Reminds me of the time we had a fire and the last person to use the EAB (emergency air breathing mask) had not loosened the straps and had a small head. As the compartment was rapidly filling with smoke I just pulled the mask over my head nearly ripping off my ears.

Ouch!

Tight enough to stay in place and no more, good rule for mask strap adjustment.
