We often think of snorkeling as an equipment-light kind of activity, 
and often  just rent or borrow gear when we go snorkeling. Still, 
there are numerous  advantages to having your own snorkeling 
gear.

Specs & Features
 This full-face mask has an anti-fogging technology that allows you 
to breathe  with both your mouth and nose without impairing 
vision.
 A dry top snorkel at the top of the mask prevents water from 
entering the  mask, if you are hit by a wave.
 The skirt of the mask is made from silicone, creating a 
comfortable seal
around the face.
What to Look For When Choosing a Snorkeling 
 Mask
The mask allows to see underwater, and seeing as we’re 
snorkeling to  experience the underwater world, this is of 
course critical.
Mask construction
Make sure your mask of choice is a “real” diving or snorkeling 
mask. By this I  mean that it should be made for the purpose of 
diving or snorkeling, rather  than a cheap mask bought in a 
supermarket.
Properly constructed masks will feature shatterproof glass and are 
made so  they can withstand pressure if you go for breath-hold 
dives.
How should the Mask be designed
When choosing a mask, pick one with a relatively small volume, 
meaning that  the air space trapped inside the mask isn’t larger 
than necessary.
This will make it easier to clear if water should come in, and makes it 
easier to  equalize it if you dive below the surface.
Go for one with a good field of vision. I prefer mono-glass masks, 
meaning  that the mask is made up with one large piece of class, 
rather than two  pieces, one for each eye, but this is a matter of 
personal taste.
How to check if the Mask fit
The fit of the mask is crucial, but can be done in a few easy 
steps:
 Put the mask on without putting the strap around your head
 Inhale lightly through your nose
 Let the mask go
If the mask sticks to your face simply from the vacuum you create 
by inhaling,  it has a reasonably good fit.
Put the mask strap on and exhale from your nose. You should be 
able to force  the exhaled air out under the mask skirt without too 
much effort. Otherwise,  emptying the mask if water comes in will be 
difficult.
Wear the mask for a few minutes and make note of anywhere the 
mask  puts uncomfortable pressure on your face.
Typical places are the underside of the tip of the nose, between 
the eyes and
on the forehead. If all of these are comfortable, you’re well on 
your way to  finding a good mask.
