Hello, Im currently in Utila doing my open water dive course. I just have 1 dive left until I get certified but im extremely nervous about taking off my mask as part of the skills. Once I get water in my mask or take it off I start trying to breathe through my nose and then I panic and hold my breath. How can I get used to only breathing through my mouth/regulator and stop panicking?

Alright cool. We don't use a pool/tub just practice in the ocean so I'll head out snorkeling right now and try that until I get over it. Thanks.

Just got back from snorkeling, I got breathing without the mask down its just when I open my eyes I start to get a little panicky and inhale some water through my nose. It seems when I turn on my eyes I take everything in and forget/stop focusing on breathing and thats when the problems start. It takes a few moments of me choking and remembering how to breathe to calm down and then everythings fine. I can clear my mask and keep on swimming. I think I just need to keep practicing and I'll get it.
