Mask and my great bone structure

[gerbil]

Curse my good looks but i have strong cheek bones which creates virtual grand canyon like channels up the size of my nose. This is being made worse by the fact that recently i have started getting fit and lost about a stone. This seems to have changed the shape of my face and my mask now often has as much water on the inside as the out side.

Can any one suggest a mask that might alleviate the problem, is a low volume mask the way to go? Its getting to be a real pain the whatsits.

Decorator's caulk or stop getting fit, you know it makes sense.

Try stuffing your face with loads of mince beef pies, works for me!!

Failing that, the sister in law "suffers" with being thin ( oh the cross she bears ) & she has tried loads of masks cos of her high cheek bones, the current one is a Cressi Lince mask which works well.

I think it's a copy of the big eyes aimed at smaller faces. Also I think it was a bargain from Decathlon for about £15. The others she has tried have been a few kids mask, a Beauchat one was ok, but it is small & gives limited vision.

Good luck

Hi. Or get a YBOD and you will NEVER get a mask to fit. Soon as you put in the mouth peice you are like Marlon Brando in the godfather with the cotton wool cheek padding.

I have quite a narrow face with high cheekbones and have had similar problems. The Cressi Matrix seems to work for me.
