Have mask that lets water into nose hole and I end up choking. What kind of mask do I need with my snorkel?

This mask is only for swimmers who do laps in indoor pools. It doesn't represent a mask for snorkeling. I do a lot of snorkeling (like Austrailia, Belize, Thailand) and any good quality snorkel mask set will do. They almost always go together: the mask and snorkel. If you're buying them separate, they probably aren't what you are looking for. If you already have a snorkel, find a mask that completely covers the nose. Nothing else will work.

You need a snorkel mask. This is a swim mask, and is not made for snorkeling. IT does not cover your nose. A good snorkel mask will not let water in through the nose hole. There are some nice Cressi snorkel masks on Amazon at good prices.

Hi Julie, this is a fantastic swim mask, but it would be terrible for snorkeling. I completly agree with the other answers.Good luck.

A good fit is a must when you are purchasing a mask. While this mask is designed to seal the nose, it's important that you test it before you go out for a real dive. In your case try this maneuver on your kayak in your pool before you venture to open water. Thankfully the return policy for Amazon allows you to return at no charge a product that does not do what it's supposed to do. I hope this helps.

I have a mustache and it works fine for swimming in a pool down to 5' deep. So I can't say how well it would work if you go deeper than that while snorkeling. Of course it doesn't cover your nose. I have snorkeled with other goggles and I don't have a problem breathing just through my mouth while my nose is under water. I would guess it would be fine down to 10' also which is as deep as I've ever gone snorkeling. If you stay on the surface you'll be fine.

Hey, when you drill into your fender the rest goes begind so I dont think youll have an issue. Lining up is the key before you drill. This is more or less for looks rather than full aspect of snorkel. Install pretty easy until you go to your air box. Good luckA

No!I tend to run out of wind before my arms give out. the snorkel lets me focus on stroke and not have to worry about getting air.The tube is a bit long, but breathing through it is not an issue.

It all depends on the mask you have. I have switched masks since this purchase. I now use the Swift FX™ Nano Nasal Mask. I purchased it at cpap.com. That site may have your answers.

You can loosen the goggles to make them less "suctiony" but the plastic seal may still be more suction than you want. It would definitely be worth a try. The mask is easy to adjust.

Where the hose connects to the air box and the other one should go where the other end of the hose conects to the snorkel. However, the one that conects to the snorkel was too small and I didn't use it. Just seal it well with rtv silicone

It doesn't seal your nose per se as nose plugs would but it is a full mask so the nose is covered completely. Once you seal the mask over your face and nose water does not get in. I'm not sure how much force it will take to break the suction from your face and leak, but I would imagine something like rolling over in a kayak could cause any mask to shift, breaking the seal with your face.

Sure. You'll just tuck the snorkle underneath the strap or get a ring to attach it.

I didn't have a problem with this. But you need to make sure you don't fasten your mask too tight - a common mistake.

I can go deep however its very uncomfortable. My blockage is farther back and I couldn't push it past the blockage to open it up without causing a sneezing fit. I found that the breath right nose strips work best. Not the regular ones but the ones that say 50% stronger. I also found that I can use them for 2 to 3 nights each if I wash my nose surface real good before putting it on.

1. No. this mask just a mask with a socket that you can fix GoPro on it. For anti-waster case, you can buy it from GoPro, I remember it's already included in the GoPro 3 package.2. not understand your question, what your mean is what's the size of this mask? i think it's a free size, you can adjust it to suit for your face. But for how to select a suitable mask, inhale deeply through your nose and let go of the mask. the mask should stick to your face without you holding it.here is a reference for you, http://scuba.about.com/od/masks/ss/HowToTryOnAScubaMask_4.htm

Top part goes over your head and the bottom part goes under your chin. The actual nasal pillows (Not shown) go into your nose. There are various sized of nasal pillow to pick from to get the most comfy fit. This is great for anyone that is a bit claustrophobic. Very light on my face. No problem reading or watching TV. About the easiest mask to adapt to!! I use a chinstrap to keep my mouth shut along with the Optlife. The best thing is no issues with leaks like the other masks!

My 10 year old son and I use this mask to snorkel in the pool all the time. I use the snorkel when cleaning the pool and have no problems whatsoever. Just attach the snorkel to the masks strap like any other. This is honestly the best mask I ever owned.

I do not know the answer to this question. I bought this for a friend who does not know how to swim so I doubt that she ever tried to snorkel with it.

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.
