How Do I Know What Size Snorkel To Get?

To find the right size snorkel mask, hold the snorkel up to your face and ensure the mouthpiece is level with your mouth. The top of the snorkel tube should be level with your forehead, and the bottom of the tube should be level with your chin. If you’re still not sure, ask a salesperson at the dive shop for help. Snorkel Masks come in extra-small, small, medium, large, and extra-large but are not uniformly made across different brands. This means that you will need to use sizing charts to see how size varies between brands.

To find the correct size and type of mask for your face shape, you need to measure the distance between your eyes, from the bridge of your nose to the outer edge of each eye. Traditional snorkeling masks come in one size only, and the difference is in their design, shape, and profile, not in the size. The only sure way to find the right size is to walk into a physical store and try them on before buying them for your snorkeling classes or tour. If you cannot access a physical store, you can measure the distance on your face and then use that information to pick out the correct size full face snorkel mask.

To get sizing right, measure your face before shopping for a snorkel mask. Use a soft tape measure to measure the distance between your eyes. The XS size is suitable for children aged 6-10 years old, while the SM size is designed for narrow-faced adults, women, and children over 10 years of age. The ML size corresponds to the average size of an adult. To choose your mask, it is best to visit the store so that you can try on the various sizes.

To find the right size, measure the length between the bridge of your nose and the bottom of your chin (important: straight line and not over the nose). The bridge should be a straight line and not over the nose.

When fitting a snorkel mask, first look at your face in the mirror to determine if it is narrow or wide and if your eyes are close. Full Foot Fins run two sizes at a time, so don’t expect an exact fit like with a sneaker. Snorkel masks do come in different sizes, but not every model or make.
