Great value, great mask
This is a great mask and dry snorkel. I am an experienced diver and have had many different masks. For the money, this one takes the cake. Low profile, great fit, and doesn't hurt my face esp at lower depths when pressure increases. I've had much more expensive masks that I can't say the same about. Note, I have a relatively small/thin face (7 1/4" hat size) if that helps anyone. My 12 yo son (also a certified diver) also has the same mask and loves it. We recently bought a mask with a camera mount on top and neither one of us could wear it, as it hurt both of our faces. I won't mention the name as Amazon may on publish my review.
Also if you've never used a dry snorkel before, these things are great. You don't have to clear the snorkel when you surface because it keeps any water from entering. You also don't have to worry about wave water splashing in while swimming on the surface, so great for snorkeling. If you're wondering about what color to buy, go with black if you're on the fence. While clear masks sound good in theory (can see more) they let in too much light and can be extremely distracting to the eye due to the may reflections. In very clear bright water they can be almost painful on the eyes. They also discolor over time (yellow). I would only wear a clear mask in very dark water/low visibility. And even then I still prefer a black mask as it allows me to focus more on my given field of vision.
You can't go wrong with this set. As always try it on first if you can as masks fit every face a little differently.
