■Mask

Before putting on your mask, make sure to defog it.

When fitting the mask, be sure to keep all hair away from the mask’s edges by sweeping your hair up and away from your face. By holding the mask to your face and adjusting the straps, you can make sure you have the best fit possible.

■Fins

While your buddy helps support your balance, you hold one fin in which to place your foot while gripping the other empty fin. Once your foot is sufficiently in the pocket, pull tight the strap (of an open heel pocket fin). If you are using the full foot pocket type, carefully fold up the heel.
