Scuba mask for a narrow face + large nose combo?
Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2018 4:09 pm
So... I have these facial features I did 20+ dives in some mask that fit me fine and maybe leaked once. However, last month I began to work out and lost 9 lbs of 'bioprene'. That's great, except my yesterday dive went sour! The mask leaked at the bottom where I think I had some cheek padding before. No tightening or wiggling the mask around helped, and after several iterations of mask cleaning my eyes began to hurt from the ocean water, so that was it
Today I grabbed all the masks we had at home and went to the swimming pool for testing. My old mask now leaks badly and if I tighten it up more it hurts my forehead but does not nothing about the leak. The only mask that worked fine was a tiny yellow Cressi that my teenage stepdaughter used for OW cert but it was too small for her, so my 8 year old used it for snorkeling during last vacation! A kiddo's mask, really?! I am not a fan of a canary yellow, and he also wants his mask back sometime Anyway, I will use that mask for a few dives.
My question is: does anyone here has similarly shaped face, like their mask and can recommend it?
Thanks!!
