underwater watch, for practice look at your wrist where you would wear your watch to
simulate noting the time.

immediately upon submerging and do so fre-
quently during descent. You don't need to be straight up and down like you're saluting a
general or some- thing, but staying in a generally head up position helps you stay
oriented and makes it easier to equalize.
