Why Do Mask Clears

During your training you were given a value of having to do mask clears. While it may be common for another diver to kick your mask causing it to flood or even making it come off completely. There are other reasons of a more natural flavor. While this may not happen on every dive there is always the possibility. Please note that in both videos the seal is just playing - it is NOT attacking the diver! In fact the seal was very gentle.
I know Janine has played 'monkey see monkey do' with the seals in California but has never had one want to wear the mask.

How Scuba Cylinders Are Made

I saw the making of a aluminum cylinder when I took the VIP course and found it quite interesting. Of course I'm that type of a person. So I was snooping around You Tube and ran across the videos that I was shown. So if you're like me you just may enjoy seeing how your life support equipment is created. They're only about 5 minutes each.

Enjoy
