Hole in dive mask

[Jael]

I'm going to ask this in a few places, see if I can get a good answer on it because I am pretty stumped.

How do you fix a hole in a dive mask. I got a small slit that I found out while swimming, I was thinking of using superglue but i imagine that would just come off pretty quick after a day in the pool. I read about aquasure, but that seems to be used for dry/wet suits. Any solutions?

I do not have a dive shop to take this to, or a local diver with know-how.

Buy a new one.

Seriously buy a new mask.... Do you want to be at 60 ft when your sweet redneck fix job blows out?

Should have put this in there, its just a training mask, furthest I go with it is maybe 10 ft in a pool. I got suggested to use silicone caulk from an AP store.

I've got a couple I'll sell, cheap. Probably one is cheaper than a tube of silicon and a grease gun. Plus it's not going to break.

You could always just put a zip-lock bag over your head and duct tape the bottom around your neck. :)

The cheapest option (since you seem to have an aversion to spending money to buy a new mask) is just get used to swimming with water in your mask and improve your mask clearing skills.

Good advice for a cone.

This!
And it will be called "mask appreciation".

Chief for the win.

Think ima just take your option chief and suck it up.

WTF kind of word is "ima"? And when addressing a Chief Warrant Officer, the correct title is "Chief", not "chief".

 

[Jael]

Apologizes, I'm on a cellphone which I'm not familiar with and it only capitalizes what it wants I will fix it when I'm on the proper machine. 'Ima' is a word used by a dumbass precone to express "I am going to", its used to express his lazy attitude which was fixed with morning run.

I also didn't thank him for the advice either which I will fix.

 

[Jael]

Thank you Chief, I will take your advice and suck it up.

I don't know how to edit, so hopefully this will suffice.

Jael... here's a piece of advice that will serve you well in your entire life:

Have the internal intellectual fortitude to recognize that there are times that the short handled earth moving lever must be stopped in the inertial phase due to the fact that the material moved has reached sufficient depth not only to act as a satisfactory site of cover and concealment, but it is also at a depth that it becomes counterproductive and hinders your ability to fight from said position as the walls of said edifice are above the level of your capitum when you stand fully erect while wearing battle gear.*


Read more, post less and never ever ever mess with a CWO5 unless you know that person and are joking.
Yes, we expect a lot from those who come here and state they care to join our fraternity/family... a large number of the members are/have served in SOF and are protective of our ranks - decorum (until you are fully proven), correct use of the English language (unless you are foreign), and respect are great hallmarks of your character and highly prized here.

Drive on.







*Here's the short translation:
be smart enough to put down the entrenching tool, the foxhole's deep enough....

Glad I never asked for advice on the "condom with a hole" problem here...
