After a couple dives last weekend I saw that I had a bunch of pin size blood blisters around my eye sockets. I suspect that was from a mask squeeze; although it was a temporary squeeze from what i remember. They are long gone. Anyone else experience this???
 
Noshow,

Sounds like mask squeeze all right. What you describe sounds minor. That's a good thing.

Exaling through your nose on desent or frequent mask clearing during desent will minimize it. While preventation becomes second nature over time, I've seen it crop up with a new mask or when encountering a sharp thermocline. Just convince your friends it's cool to look like a racoon.

DSAO,

Larry
