I did not expect I would be able to finish a 47 Min video - but you sir, have shared the fundamentals and personal insight you could only get from an industry expert. This is a great video! Thank you for helping me gain a perspective on a complex topic I will benefit from for a very long time to come. Thanks again.

Wow, Fabian, Thanks for the kind words. Learning the KZfaq way, so we will try to keep them shorter if we can. Maybe shorter videos but put them in a series. Then you can choose the most relevant topic for you. Doing these for 7 years but still learning. When we changed to Leviathan scuba we had to start all over with viewers. So I appreciate you tuning in. Freddy

Not a diver, only dived once in Malta and diving later this year in the Maldives but I was actually just doing a bit on research to buy a facemask for snorkeling. So this should've been just a skim watch for me but I actually watched the whole thing because...... A. It was informative B. It was interesting C. It was funny, laughed out loud twice. This guy seems to know his stuff and backs up what he says, and if I bump into any ex Navy diving buddies I will be able to join in the conversation (provided they only talk about masks).

Great video. Like others, a 48 min video? Then I realized, I'll spend longer than that in a dive shop talking with a salesperson who doesn't know half of what I just learned. My last mask leaked so bad, found out later that the person in the shop didn't even dive. She was only filling in for the absent owner. I needed to learn more because now I can be my own salesperson. Thanks for covering all the important facts and info.

Hi Freddie, as newbie i found this a totally awesome fully comprehensive guide to buying a mask. It was informative and detailed and well worth the watch. So many other guides were rushed and missed a lot of the detail you covered which was so important. What this meant was, instead of me buying a full face cheap mask on line (which i now now was going to be dangerous) i will go to my dive equipment shop to have a mask properly fitted as per your advice. So a million thanks for the information. Anyone starting out to snorkel (like me) or i guess scuba dive this is an ABSOLUTE MUST WACH you won't need to troll through loads of different other vids as all the information you need is right here 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I bought a TUSA (made in Japan and at the time the top of the range from TUSA/Tabata) 28 years ago and only now has it failed, only because the inner silicone just lost it's flexibility. A super excellent mask and I doubt my new Cressi Sub will go that distance. You are so right, it is a colossal mistake to scab money on a mask and is the key for enjoyable diving in any conditions IMHO. Diving since 85. LOL 22:53, there's nothing funnier than seeing those red faces from people who have their straps cranked up as it they were getting ready to jump into that washing machine of a rocky headland in a gale force winds and high seas. Good point.

I grew up using my dad's old rubber mask... It was starting to split at the edges, but served me well for 3-4 years of pool swimming at the YMCA almost every day. The fins on the other hand where hard as a rock. The fin still worked but I had them strapped with a piece of cloth because the strap they came with shattered the first time I touched it. As I learned more, I was surprised the mask still was usable nearly 30 years after my dad got it. Replaced it with another rubber skirted 3 window mask that only lasted me a couple years before I outgrew it. I have no idea where it vanished to, but in my youth I thought it was so cool compared to the 1950s-1960s metal framed rubber oval. I remember that HUD mask... I did not have one... could not afford anything like that.

Quick note on full face snorkel masks. They are really great with one exception. If you like to dive down when snorkeling the amount of air they hold makes it hard to descend. Excellent on the surface because that they also hold your head up a bit but they make diving down much more difficult.

Great Video. watched it over 2 days but way more information than I ever thought there could ever be on masks. I have to buy a new Mask as my oldish mask has a tendence to push the nose of the mask and my nose up into my head, and it hurt to hell when Im at 40Mtr. Prefer Black as I can focus on what I'm doing. Had a clear mask once and hated it also as the light hurts my eyes. PS I'm light sensitive in the eyes and the Darker Color helps. Going to do a Full face mask Cource soon Hopeing that will help But will always keep a mask in my dive equipment as a backup IF I can find one that wont kill/decorate my face...
@coralkeyscuba
@coralkeyscuba 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I know its kind of long. But so much info to put out if we wanted to do it right. Easy to find a mask that won't push you nose. See if you can find a Tusa, Freedom HD. Fits a lot of faces and a great mask. By you comments it sounds like you are not equalizing your mask at depth. There should be no difference in the way the mask fits at 1 ft vs 40 meters. If you exhale into your mask a bit to pressurize it then it should fit exactly the same. Hope that helps Karl. Take care. Freddy

I add a comment only in hopes of expanding the conversation, not to dispute or detract from any advice given. I mention that human saliva, that stuff mommies used to clean you up with once in a while, has very useful biological cleaning agents suspended in the fluid, it is not just plain liquid. So one might be able to avoid one more chemical eventually dissolving into the ocean if it cleans well enough, plus it is free, doesn't come in plastic, and is in forever supply anywhere you need it, for as long as you are above ground. If you want to spend the inconsequential amount of a bottle of cleaner, once the manufacturing residue is removed from the glass, saying it helps support the dive shop, just buy the employee a sandwich or something instead.

I agree in principle. I own a dive shop and see the consequences of using saliva. Not common but occasionally eye infections result. Plus, it really doesn't work that well. In cold water you get about 15 to 30 minutes of fog free. In warm water a whole dive but I get 5-7 dives with one application of de-fog. The quality defogs are made of materials that don't harm the sea and they work great and very convenient. Thanks for expanding the commentary. More to come soon.

Fantastic video! May I ask your opinion in a style for scuba that might suit someone that only has sight in 1 eye. I do understand all of the points made in the video about personal choice, but I would like a generalized opinion if possible. I have been considering a FFM for a greater field of view, but you have me thinking that it might not be necessary.

I don't believe a full mask will give you anything you won't get in vision with a regular mask. Two things for you to consider. Low volume masks put the lens closer to your eye, therefore the closer it is the more vision you have. Next you might try a mono lens. Literally a single lens verses dual lenses. As I use both eyes I am not sure if you compensate by looking at a greater angle than those with vision in both eyes. My thought here is that if you look at a sharper angle than most other people the center part of a mask with two lenses might block your vision. A mono lens might offer you a greater degree of angle to view. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. More to come very soon. Freddy

Thank you for the great clip! It helps me so much in deciding my mask now. Can you share your shop address with me? When I come to the States, I will pop by your shop in NC and hopefully able to meet you in person!

The one that fits you the best. Sounds like a smart-ass answer but it is true. Masks are designed for full vision including side to side. So if it works for height and width, it should still work for you. The fit is the most important feature of any mask. Thanks for watching. More to come soon. Freddy

I wish there was a way to buy from your website, which, BTW, you might want to add to the video (no active link) because you r obviously very knowledgeable!

Yeah, me too. We are working on it so it should be working very soon. Something deep in the code blocking it from coming up. You can find it from the Leviathan KZfaq link. Thanks for the comments. We will get there but the important part is that people are watching and liking. So more coming. Freddy
