I do carry 2 or 3 spare masks...in my truck, so I or a CA retrieve, and the lesson is learned, after having to go get a mask, no one else in the class puts it on their forehead.So you retrieve their mask for them. I would think that making them retrieve their own mask would send home the message to be more aware of their equipment.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. "But if they lost their mask how are they going to find it without a mask?" I would think a good instructor/diver would have a spare somewhere.
Has anyone seen a distressed diver actually stop and think "I am in distress, I will put my mask on my forehead".
No, it is not a valid signal of distress.
Sometimes I were two or three masks on my head.
To put this to rest...
When I see someone with a mask on their forehead, I see a person who isn't comfortable keeping their mask on for an extra 30 to 60 seconds.
And I ask myself: WHY?!
You are a trained diver. You wear a mask for a long, long time underwater and manage to function just fine. Your mask fits your face well and is comfortable (It is, right? If it isn't, fix that problem first.).
My masks work really well when they're covering my eyes. On my forehead or neck, not so much.
Why not keep it over your eyes till you're back on the boat or shore and doffing your gear?
