Hey Mary My wife has a very small face and she did very well with the woman's mask. Jeff

My wife says that it fit her well. She is about 6', 160 lb. She used hers a couple times. We were probably out for a couple hours, with breaks, I don't think she had any problems. I obviously got a mens set. The are pretty well constructed, the snorkel worked really well. Hope this helps.

I bought this for my 5' 2" daughter and it fits her perfectly and she's very happy with the set. I would think they'll fit you fine.

Try www.aquapac.net I have several different size aquapac models for different cameras and cell phones. I have used them with great results while snorkeling in Hawaii.

Small.....these run very big. My DD is 2.5 and 21lbs and she was swimming in the mediums. Small would've been perfect. And my DD is 35"

we took our sets to Cancun last year. They took up a lot of space in the suitcase, but we went snorkling every day & were very glad we had our own equipment to go whenever we want. The fins for xl mens are about 24 inches

That really depends on you - how long your torso is. I am 5'8" with a long torso so I am able to wear both sizes. I have two girl friends that are shorter than me I would say pretty average size and they got the S/M and I adjusted it to fit them both really well. If you aren't sure, head to an REI or some place that carries them and try them on and have someone fit it for you and then get from Amazon.

Honestly, I think it would be too small for her. I'm 5' 1" and it's a good size for me. If you go to Diamond Back's site there should be a size chart.

I would avoid this. I had to return ours as the mask always leaked for both myself and my daughter. I think they are simply too small and cheaply made. Worth the time to go to a dive shop and fit a good mask.

They say they're for women, but you'd have to have pretty big hands. My petite hands swim in them, so much so that I gave them up. I see that other women have a different experience. I wonder if the sizing is inconsistent?

You would probably be okay with a medium, but it would be best to check their site and see if they have some kind of sizing chart just to be certain. Since the mask is made from neoprene, it stretches, and the velcro closure on the back allows for quite a bit of adjustment, and it seems to me that going a little small would be better than going to big (if you get one that's too big, you don't get a good seal around the edges and that kind of defeats the purpose of wearing a filter mask).

I am fairly small at 5'7 and at 140 lbs the smallest setting fits me. Probly a little smaller would be all right.

I bought these for my husband and he's a size 12 wide and they fit him fine and he loved both the fins, snorkel and mask. He has a big head, too. I would not be too concerned about the extra length, they are open backed and adjustable, so I think they will work fine for you.

Smallest size is size C which is a 4 1/2-6 for females. I found the fins to be true to size.

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.

I have a smaller frame face and it does fit. I have to wear it pretty tight to keep it sealed, but not uncomfortable. Just took it last month on a snorkeling trip in Puerto Rico, great mask! The side view vision is great, and the snorkel really does keep water out when you dive down.
