Mask & Hood

[ghosch]

Put hood on, lower it around your neck. Put mask on. Put hood back on again, over the mask strap. Why? Not only have I been diving in swift currents, but another diver could flick it off with his/her fin. Although I carry a spare mask, the thought of being blinded while on a deep dive is not one I relish.

I don't think wearing it under a hood would compromise the seal any??? I'll try it this weekend at Square Lk.

I think what Lkunze was refering to was compromising the seal of the hood around your face, not the mask seal. I can see where it would allow more cold water to circulate throughout the hood.
