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.

If it properly fits you, no mask is going to leak. Diving masks tend to be of slightly higher quality because they are meant for scuba diving. That said, make sure you get the appropriate mask for you. A good test is to put the mask over your face without the strap, then inhale through your nose and hold. If it sticks without having to pull in more air then it'll be fine. Personally - I loved this mask.

I would do a trial run with it first. My girlfriend didn't and then we we were on vacation, it leaked and we had to find another mask for her to use.

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

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.

Shouldn't matter. There is basically a box that the entire mask goes in, with the hose still attached (it goes through a hole), you close the lid to seal the system. Then ionized air circulates though the mask, hose and humidifier. If your mask fits in the box, your nasal pillows is likely smaller and should too.

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.

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.

Yes. I just used the mask with my GoPro on a 10 day trip scuba diving. Excellent mask.

I have no idea. I will say that I used a technique intended to stretch neck gaskets on wetsuits to enlarge this mask. It now fits like it was scultped around my face. it's uncomfortably tight. but it at least fits.

I don't know. I bought the snorkel for my husband who recently died and no one else has used it. So I am not really sure how it is supposed to work.

No, in fact, I wish I would have purchased a snorkle and probably will eventually. These are really nice, light weight and effective masks.

Walt, none came with the mask. You can purchase filters from Amazon suitable for different needs. Just make sure that the filters will fit and are made for this mask and are made for the task at hand like dust or organic vapors.

This is a good mask, but everybody's face is different. If you have tried Cressi Masks in the past and they fit well I'd say you will be fine with this one. If you're not familiar with masks in general you should go to a dive shop and try on a few. They will help you get the right fit.

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

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.

This one won't cause that problem so long as your glasses are still fitted properly. The mask itself seals against the face completely unless you fail to secure the straps properly, get to large of a size, have facial hair that prevents a proper seal or have a facial structure that is abnormal in shape.
