Solves my biggest snorkeling problem

This is the second wild horn mask I've bought. While I loved the first one the design of this one is even better and made diving so much fun! I really had no complaints and couldn't tell you anything I didn't like about this product. My main problems with snorkeling in general are water getting into the snorkel and choking, afterwards my teeth and jaw feel weird, the mask fogs up and I have to twist the mask so hard to avoid leaking that I'm red get spots on your face. within a few hours after that. Everyone decides. Last. one. Of these issues, and I couldn't have had a better experience. I felt it was easy to breathe and when my face was lowered into the water I found it difficult to breathe instead of looking up to see what was happening around me. even easier. I've heard that a full face sometimes makes it difficult to breathe, but I really didn't have a problem with it, even though I had to work pretty hard to fight the current and get back to shore. The design of the snorkel ensures that you never put water in your mouth and your teeth don't feel weird afterwards like with a conventional snorkel. I'm always fed up with salt water and it makes me sick. It never happened. With the mask you really see a lot more and in all directions. When I first took it out I had the silicone under my chin instead of on top and it leaked a little and then fogged up a bit. The second time around I figured out how to wear the tag properly and had no issues with leakage or fogging. The mask was very comfortable and fit well. I had red spots within minutes but I didn't have to tighten them as much to keep them all day. I used the measurements they suggested and got the correct size. The color is cute. I have a lemon green look and I love it. My sister had the same color and my husband had red. They were all very handsome and it was easy to see each other underwater with bright colors. I didn't use a camera mount but my brother in law did and he was able to capture some of the amazing shots of the turtles we saw. I find it very clever to attach an underwater camera to a mask so you don't have to try and hold it by your hand. Because of this, swimming is too difficult. Carrying bags come in handy and help avoid scratching the mask. I also like that the handset is detachable and fits easily in a suitcase. All three of us were so lucky to have these masks. It made our trip a lot of fun. The only thing we would have liked to have done differently was to buy their fins and a special snorkel vest. I felt we could have stayed longer and seen more and it would have been totally worth the money.
