I almost skipped past this video as I wasn't aware there were so many facets to the process of selecting and maintaining a mask. Thank you for remarkable depth of knowledge and your willingness to share it. Have a great day.

awesome review man, very informative and with a smooth sense of humor. thanks to this, I can spend wisely on the right mask. more power

I've not bought these since I took a dive course as a PE in college. You got it Exact! Love it

Awesome video! After watching this I’m thoroughly convinced it’s a better idea to go to an actual dive shop rather than going on Amazon

This is the best and the most informative video I have seen out of hundreds on KZread! Not a single one comes close to this!

He is SO correct. All the problems that he is issuing happened to me. Pour suction in the inner lip and having bubbles flicking up my mask making water leak in constantly. Hate it!

Love the video, every professional dive shop will say the same, ultimately most masks will work with most people, but supporting your local dive shop is a greatv way to start out.

Thank you for this EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE video! You prevented me from buying cheap and possibly awful Snorkel Sets as Xmas gifts. Which in turn could have ruined our Xmas trip to Hawaii, as ALL of us were looking forward to many hours of snorkeling. We all went to a local Dive Shop in Seattle to get fitted for masks.

Thanks for this excellent video in purchasing a Snorkel Mask.

Perfect video . Just what i was looking for

Great video. Answers a lot of basics and doesn't spend time plugging a bunch of masks from any specific company.

Simple, informative and easy to understand. Tqvm

Awesome. Very informative and useful. Thank you very much.

Thanks alot for this, So informative and professional.

Great video. Didnt know a lot of this stuff. Very helpful when I get a new mask..that fits properly.

Thank you for the information very helpful prior to the vacation.

Exactly the info I needed, thank you

Very useful in depth information!

Wow!!! How incredibly helpful. And you have a nice presence on camera ~

Fantastic video!! Thank you so much this helps so so much! 👌☺️ I have relocated to the Philippines from the UK and came here just before the "lockdowns" so trying to find the right mask for me has been a nightmare!... I have purchased 4 or 5 already and although some fit "ok" none are perfect!... I am doing some scuba, snorkelling and free diving so of course also have different needs for each one... I shall certainly rewatch this video when I buy my next one for a recap so many useful tips & info... thanks again great work & content! 👌☺️👏👏👏 keep up the great work...

Superb tutorial. Thorough and thoughtful.

I started diving in 1967. My preferred mask was a US Divers oval type with a center bottom purge valve, it fit well. I replaced it a few times due to hardening, The purge valve never gave me a problem. My current mask is silicone without a purge valve. I think this video is spot on.

EXCELLENT JOB Freddie!! Thank you sir!

Bought a mask willy nilly at some store to snorkel, then about 3 months the glass shattered, bought another one but at a proper scuba store and properly fitted to my face it was lifechanging how comfortable it was and turned snorkeling so enjoyable.

Really good video. My old faithful broke. I have not found a mask that fits me in the last 10 years. So looking forward to finding a good one. Cheers.

amazing , thank you

I recently purchased a TUSA Ceos, black skit after speaking with a friend who is a dive master, for both my wife and myself and they are great.. Very comfortable and zero leaks so far.. Great view also.. Didn't want another snorkel excursion ruined by crappy rental gear, and wanted something of quality enough to scube dive with.

Bought a US Divers mask, silicone, with a purge valve - 31 years ago and it still works fine. Purge valve if you keep it clean no worries. Only issue I had is the stainless band became loose and ingressed water. A large nylon cable tie sorted that 20 yrs ago.

Thank you for the video. Informative ... learned the importance of the defogger vs. soap, the silicon as preferred material, don't use Vaseline around silicon, buying a good fitting\good quality mask is paramount for a good snorkeling experience, not to tight fit not loose either, etc etc. BUT would have been good to have your comments in the FULL FACE MASK and the advantages/disadvantages over the traditional mask.

@LeviathanScuba

Thanks John for the suggestion. There are 2 different types of full face masks - 1 for snorkeling and another for diving. We have just finished testing several different full face snorkeling masks and are working on a review, which should be out some time in the fall. A little spoiler alert - we liked the Ocean Reef Aria as it preformed the best with no breathing restrictions, no fogging issues, comfortable straps, great fit and has optic options for people who wear glasses. These masks are available on our website now 5280scuba.com/product/aria-full-face-snorkel-mask

Great video

Every year I feel insanely lucky that the $30 U.S. Divers kit I bought three years ago ha worked so well for me. The mask is pretty much like the clear one he was holding for most of the vid.

Cool video! Where's the 500 000 views? It deserves more than that!

Food grade silicon on the mask lip works for minor leaks. High volume masks can pressurize on your face. Clear silicon skirts tend to go yellowy with age.

What kind of shaving cream you use for shaving the mask? :) Excellent video!!!

Best Mask Video ever

Awesome! 🏖🙂

thank you for your lesson :)

It is fairly low volume and made from silicone and tempered glass, it sticks pleasantly to your face without the strap attached and you like the field of view. It's either black or clear as per visual preference. That's it.
