The Best $25 You Can Spend.

As an avid free diver and snorkeler, here is my honest review. I've always thought if you want something better you have to pay more, well I'm here to tell you that with this snorkel mask that's not the case. I was expecting this at first, snorkels are great but after a while jaw fatigue sets in. Breathing through your nose seems more logical and is absolutely awesome! I originally bought a full face mask with a silicone nose so I could equalize pressure when diving deep. These masks are useless unless you intend to swim at the surface the whole time. Also, it was cheap (apart from being more than double the price of this mask) because it kept tearing the headband, so I had Jimmy adjust it until I got bored. Also, the pressure on your face made it extremely uncomfortable when freediving and they are difficult to get off your face if you need to quickly deflate on the ascent. A traditional snorkel mask and snorkel work great for a while, but everything I've bought in the past has always hurt the bridge of my nose, and in fact the snorkel causes pain in my jaw. I later bought expensive freediving goggles which were very comfortable but I had to carry my snorkel in my hand if I wanted to rest my tummy and use it. So it wasn't very convenient. So when I saw it I thought I'd give it a try. I couldn't be more impressed. It has the best of both worlds for me. I can snorkel or free dive. It has a silicone nose so I can pinch it and equalize the pressure, 3/4 of the snorkel tube comes out and has a plug to keep water out of the freediving tube but I don't use that, I just dip in and the ball in the Tube keeps water out pretty well and when that happens it's no big deal as I'm not breathing. It's also VERY comfortable on my face, I don't bruise the bridge of my nose and the pressure is minimal as it's not a full face mask. The fit has been great for me, (big) I haven't had any leaks and I have a beard and mustache that didn't affect the seal in any way. The support team was very responsive, they sent me my Go Pro without the mount, I emailed late at night and got a response within an hour. They apologized for the "inconvenience" and sent immediately. Well worth the money, this snorkel blows more expensive gear out of the water. I recommend this product, you will not regret it!
