What does it mean when a scuba diver places his mask on his forehead while in the water?
Updated: 12/12/2022
Technically speaking this has no relevance to the quality or action of diving. It is not a formal signal of any status nor skill level.
In the social context of the dive community it is taken as a sign that the Diver in question is less experienced as this action is one of the most common ways to loose a mask.
