Is it less bulky than a typical dive/snorkel mask? how much? Normal masks stick out and trap air too much.

The mask is not as bulky nor is it as heavy as a traditional dive mask. for the price, it's a good little mask and did not leak water around the edges as long as it's adjusted properly. I bought 4 of them for the family and they have all served us well now on 2 vacations to the Caribbean.

JB, I'm pretty satisfied with it. I took it with me to Australia for a few weeks and never had any problems. I only used it on 6 dives and twice snorkeling, but the battery lasted the entire time and still showed as full. Getting ready to take it with me to South Africa. I posted some pics taken with the camera mask here:http://www.projectaware.org/diver-photos/kyleblankenship/13273One of the videos I took with it is here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6ip_gRX53Y&feature;=youtu.be

To be honest I don't know but all I can tell you are my experiences with this particular face mask. It covers my face well and it even has a ventilated mesh like area around your mouth that can get wet from moisture from heavy breathing sometimes but it doesn't happen to me often. This one comes down around the neck like a cowl that you can tuck in under your shirt and I readjust the face area sometimes in front of a mirror because I'm obsessive compulsive with making it line up right lol You can also pull down the mouth area in case you go inside a public place so you don't put people on edge which I forget to do sometimes considering it does conceal my entire face except for my eyes.

I haven't used it for scuba yet, only snorkeling, but it fits with my scuba mask on.

Depends on your beard I imagine. I will say its not like a scuba mask where facial hair keeps it from sealing (I wear it unshaven but not a heavy beard). I'm thinking it will work fine but it will probably fog more than it should. you can pull it tight but inside the facial hair will cause the seal to be looser letting exhalation fog the mask a bit.

The one I got holds my fins, mask, and snorkle just fine. But I don't think it will hold any more than that. If you want a kick board to fit into your bag too, you should probably look for a larger bag.

I was not able to snorkle with this item. It would not prevent water from coming into the mask. We had to use our older mask, different brand.

i thought the underwater per was great, although sometimes it was hard to see through my mask, which was my fault because of water leaking in my mask. of course there is a blue haze because you are under water. to get rid of that i think you need a more expensive camera with filter capabilities. for the price i think it works great!

Soooo....I can't answer this specific question....what I can say is you are better off buying a good underwater camera. I want to love this mask.....but I don't...hard to use..impossible to check while using...buy a good camera. You will be far more satisfied.

Probably ALL filtering face masks have some kind of breathing resistance. It is a covering, after all. That said, I have found the microfiber Vogmask to be comfortable to wear without too much resistance. I used it cleaning up a very dusty room, had it on for over an hour, and didn't encounter any problems.---Charles Foster Dudley

I did not really find any differences in the 'sizes'. I thought I bought 2 sizes, a Med for me, and a Small for my wife. But after using them both, I have yet to find out which is the smaller one. In reality, you must buy it and try it out. If you try it out, just remember to minimize any stubble around the mask / face interface. Also test the seal on the mask... meaning plug the side filter holes (with them off) and inhale. If the mask sticks to your face, you are good to go. If not, they the face / mask seal is bad. Sweat or Vaseline can help make that seal better. After all, that seal provides the filtration benefits you are purchasing the mask for.

Personally I like these better than the 'formed' masks. The formed masks tend to move around a little more. The 9211 seems to stay in place better for me. Also, they are much easier to store or take with in a pocket as the are folded flat and in individual packages.

Man, to be honest.... Its not the best mask, not too comfortable, i spent several times trying to adjust it during my inmersions. Battery life is fine, video taping is very good, try to dont move too much while you are taking pictures.

The mask is no different from any other scuba mask except for the attachment point for the GoPro. I used it to snorkel with whale sharks a few weeks ago. A snorkel will attach to the strap on either side. I love this mask. Comfortable and much easier than trying to hold the cam in your hand. You DO have to be cognizant of moving your head too quickly if you want a good quality video, but you're going to have to edit footage anyway.

Small will be fine - "cure" the mask before you use it - warm it with a blow drier until the silicon is pliable then put in on your face firmly. Will form fit better with no leaks. The fins are adjustable, but be warned that the clips have tendency to fall apart or break rendering the fins useless.

It really depends on the shape of your face. In my case, for instance, as I'm Asian, the regular size is good enough. I also sweat a lot and as the water prevents sweating in swimming in all water submersed parts of my body, I tend to have a sweaty face and the goggles usually slip if the adherence is not good. The Aqua Sphere products attend all my needs. The regular one is good for me. However, for my son (also Asian) the very smaller fit is better. My experience shows that females (Caucasian or Asian) prefer the regular one. When swimming, the best way is not to have a very tight goggle. I've been swimming for over 20 years (pools and sea).The only problem I was never able to solve is the fogging. However, the tighter you use your goggles the foggier it gets. Hope I've helped.
