Number one criteria for buying a scuba diving mask or a snorkelling mask is the correct fit to your facial features. And with this regard, many people only pay attention to the width of their face. However, in our shop we often come across customers that have no luck with any mask they are trying on, because they have a large nose!

It is possible for those with vision problems or who wear glasses daily to use contact lenses while snorkeling. It is best to use soft contact lenses, as opposed to rigid gas permeable lenses, as they will better accommodate changes in pressure underwater. However, not all contact lenses are suitable for salt water or deep diving, so it is important to verify with an optometrist.
