clearIng water from tHe InterspIro fUll face mask dUrIng a dIVe
If water enters the full face mask during diving, so that the mask either becomes filled
or partially filled, the most convenient way to clear the mask is by using the purge
button on the breathing valve.
If the mask has come off during the dive, relocate the mask. If a breathing valve with
safety pressure is used, push the safety pressure lever to the closed position to prevent
free flow and air loss. Extend the head harness straps and don the mask.
with your left hand, hold the mask against your face. with the face in an upright
(vertical) position press the purge button until the water has cleared from the mask
sufficiently to start breathing.
After a few breaths of air, repeat purging procedure if you find this necessary. A
small amount of water will always remain in the mask after this procedure.
Alternatively, if you have a full breath of air, hold the mask against your face and
exhale to clear the mask of water.
When you are satisfied that the mask is clear of water, tighten the head harness straps
beginning with the lower straps as described earlier. consider aborting the dive.

In case of free flow of air into/or from the full face mask, the following procedure is
recommended:
1. continue breathing.
2. Abort the dive and start ascending to the surface.
under all circumstances abort the dive and resolve the situation.
