 Re: Scuba & Snorkeling Mask Recommendations? As someone who is not shy about ordering stuff online, I also have to say this is something where you just have to go to your local well-stocked dive store and try on lots of masks, with the gentle "sniff test," then buy the mask you like from that local shop. Both mine and my sweetheart's masks came from the LDS. Tell them you want a mask you can later use for diving, so they only show you dive-quality masks. The reason it's really hard to give a recommendation of a "good mask" is that fit is the most crucial thing about a mask, and they vary. I could tell you I'm personally very happy with my Dacor Ultra II, but that's because it fits my face so well. I do generally like masks with floppier skirts. They may tear more easily, but skirts are easy to replace and typically give a better seal.

| Scuba & Snorkeling Mask Recommendations? I'd like to buy a good snorkeling mask that I'll also be able to while scuba diving after I take lessons. Any recommendations on a nice, quality mask? Thanks! |

| Re: Scuba & Snorkeling Mask Recommendations? Go to your local dive store. Try on some low volume masks. Buy the one that fits/feels the best. Go diving/snorkeling.
