F*cking leaky masks

[bob wippin]

If you want a black cressi matrix/ big eyes mask then you can get them from denny diving.

Personally, I don't recommend these masks, they just seem shabby to me. The finish is a bit poor, bits of silicone hanging about all over the place where they have not been cut off cleanly. Also you get a lot of reflection due to the angle of the lens even with the black skirt. The supposed increase in downward vision is a bit of a fib aswell, I get better alround vision with a framless atomic or shadow.

Have you considered any cream you might apply to your (beautiful) face?

Can you give it (your face) a good scrub before you push it out of shape with your hood?

I'm scraping the barrel now.

Tried having the strap higher on the back of your head?

A tiny weeny mouth piece so you don't stretch your mouth so much round the reg? maybe your doing a "wide mouthed frog"? My mask leaks when I do reg recovery!!!!

Buggered if I know.

But the new Mares liquidskin seem nice. Reassuringly expensive but also soft and comfy.

The only mask that never leaks on me is the cheapy Typhoon Exel.

LOL, I don't usually 'cream up' before diving, so I don't think I've got anything on my face.

I've fiddled with the strap position/tightness/looseness.

I have tiny mouthpieces on my regs as I was struggling with ordinary sized ones. (My saxophone teacher once commented on my tight embouchure.)

I think mine is to be an eternal quest.

Anyone tried one of these, ever?

I googled the Cressi Big Eye and it does come with a black skirt, so that might just be the way forward

A dual-purpose piece of kit, for all kinds of watersports

I quite like its roundness - it reminds me of the old-stylee diving masks.

Tusa Liberator or Tusa Liberator plus .... Certainly the plus is available in a black skirt.

I always recommend these to my students and have rarely found them to dissappoint ....if you haven't tried one then I would highly recommend to least trying one.
