How to Buy the Right Scuba or Snorkel Mask - Original Video

In this video Freddy helps you understand the different mask technologies and gives some pointers on how to get the correct fit for a snorkel mask and dive mask.

A more complete, in-depth dive into picking the right mask.

Completely different video that contains the same basic info, but doesn't go into as much detail.

This is the best and the most informative video I have seen out of hundreds on YouTube! Not a single one comes close to this!

I almost skipped past this video as I wasn't aware there were so many facets to the process of selecting and maintaining a mask. Thank you for remarkable depth of knowledge and your willingness to share it. Have a great day.

I've not bought these since I took a dive course as a PE in college. You got it Exact! Love it

Thank you for this EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE video! You prevented me from buying cheap and possibly awful Snorkel Sets as Xmas gifts. Which in turn could have ruined our Xmas trip to Hawaii, as ALL of us were looking forward to many hours of snorkeling. We all went to a local Dive Shop in Seattle to get fitted for masks.

Awesome video! After watching this I’m thoroughly convinced it’s a better idea to go to an actual dive shop rather than going on Amazon

I started diving in 1967. My preferred mask was a US Divers oval type with a center bottom purge valve, it fit well. I replaced it a few times due to hardening, The purge valve never gave me a problem.
My current mask is silicone without a purge valve. I think this video is spot on.

Excellent, very professional, in the past I bought a lot of masks, none of them were good... Now, after watching this video, I believe I will buy the correct one. Cheers from Slovenia!

Great video. Answers a lot of basics and doesn't spend time plugging a bunch of masks from any specific company.

Love the video, every professional dive shop will say the same, ultimately most masks will work with most people, but supporting your local dive shop is a greatv way to start out.

Fantastic video!! Thank you so much this helps so so much!
👌☺️ I have relocated to the Philippines from the UK and came here just before the "lockdowns" so trying to find the right mask for me has been a nightmare!... I have purchased 4 or 5 already and although some fit "ok" none are perfect!... I am doing some scuba, snorkelling and free diving so of course also have different needs for each one... I shall certainly rewatch this video when I buy my next one for a recap so many useful tips & info... thanks again great work & content! 👌☺️👏👏👏 keep up the great work...

Bought a mask willy nilly at some store to snorkel, then about 3 months the glass shattered, bought another one but at a proper scuba store and properly fitted to my face it was lifechanging how comfortable it was and turned snorkeling so enjoyable.

Super informative. Now I feel like when I go buy a mask, later this week, I at least have a clue. Thanks for taking the time!
