An old friend of mine recently decided to seize opportunities and try new things. He decided to get certified and travel to Cozumel with my wife and I for our annual holiday trip. He got certified two weeks ago and we dove with him at the lake last weekend.
He is having a problem with air leaking from his nose and out the mask. It's really a lot of air. I would guess he is leaking as much air as he is actually breathing out his mouth. It also means his mask is always trying to fog on him. I remember learning to not let this happen when I first tried scuba but he isn't able to think of a way to stop doing it. We are headed out again today. I've tried everything I can think of and every exercise I can think of. For me it was just a matter of having the thought of not letting it happen and my nasal passages did the rest.
Anybody had a serious problem with this that they have overcome?
