No tinted masks!
Warning do not buy tinted masks for free diving and spearfishing!
From our safety class in February 2022
Tinted dive masks do not allow your partner to see your eyes during the accent and recovery at the surface. Such dive masks are unsafe and should not be used. The manufacturers talk about attracting more fish and the fish not seeing your eyes but believe me the fish understands why you are there 😂
When recovering your partner from a short or deep dive, we normally ask for an OK signal from our partner and wait at least 30 seconds on the surface before leaving them alone.
Critical Blackout Zones
1. Ten feet before the surface (10 feet)
2. Thirty seconds after surfacing from a dive (30 seconds)
3. Stay close to your partner in case he does blackout
