Does The Full Face Snorkel Mask Come Apart?

The debate between full face and traditional snorkel masks is not just about preference but also about understanding the nuances that define each experience. Full face masks distribute pressure more evenly across your face, reducing strain on your jaw. Traditional snorkel masks only cover your eyes and nose and require a separate snorkel tube to connect your mouth to the surface air. The main argument for full face snorkel masks is that there is a lack of conclusive evidence surrounding the tragic deaths of Hawaii snorkelers.

Snorkel masks can be divided into two main categories: regular masks that enclose your eyes and nose, and full-face snorkel masks that cover your whole face. Full face snorkel masks are not always a solution by default, but they can do the trick. Moustaches aren’t included in the seal, and beards might still cause issues.

The full face snorkel mask, a relatively new invention launching in 2014, combines a snorkel and a mask with a seal all the way around your face. The tube attached to the full face snorkel mask is usually separated into three different sections, with the middle section being where all the fresh air sits around your face. No snorkel works for a fully submerged person, as the lungs would not be able to work against the water pressure.
