I have just been watching Thirteen lives – the film about the cave rescue of the 13 young boys in Thailand who were totally sedated before being taken hours under water.
It got me thinking that when I go snorkelling i always get a bit of water leak into my mask and have to come up and clear it out so i don’t breath water in.
Is this something that happens to scuba divers, if so how do they deal with it, and in the case of the boys how would the divers accompanying them have cleared the boy’s masks ?
i would also like to say what an incredible job done by all those involved.

You press the top part of the mask against your forehead and exhale out through your nose. The air coming out of your nose goes up, getting trapped in your mask since you’re holding it. This displaces the water.
