How is a snorkel supposed to fit?

The other option which I recommend would be to try on a mask in person. There is no substitute for feeling the fit and materials of a mask. To try on a snorkel mask, place it on your face and inhale in. The snorkel mask should sit snugly on your face before securing the back strap.

If you feel uncomfortable pressure on your forehead, bridge of your nose or cheeks or any locations, that mask is not the right fit. It should feel comfortable and snug. If there are any gaps between your face and the edges of the rubber mask seal, that is also an indication that the mask is not the right fit and may leak water while snorkeling.

Once you have found a snorkel mask that fits properly, select a snorkel tube that attaches to the mask. You want the snorkel mouthpiece to be the best fitting size, it should not feel too big or inhibit breathing.The snorkel is traditionally worn on the left side of the mask, attach it to your snorkel mask and try them on together to ensure a comfortable fit.

If you wear glasses you can also select prescription lenses that are custom for you so you don’t have to wear glasses with your snorkel mask. Many snorkel tour operators including us at Hawaii Ocean Rafting, provide prescription masks for guests within a few ranges.

Do snorkels go on the left or right side?

#1. Choose a Side: Should Snorkel be on Left or Right. It may not seem like a big deal, but many snorkelers will actually wear their snorkel on the wrong side of their mask—the right side. While this is not a huge deal, it should be noted that snorkels are traditionally worn on the left side of the head. This is because snorkels are a necessary accessory for scuba diving, and are positioned on the left side to avoid entangling with the regulator hoses on the right side. New to snorkelling but want to look the part? Keep that sucker on the left side.

#2. How low can you go?. Novice snorkelers understandably want to have as much of the snorkel above the water line as possible, so that the top stays clear of the water. While this may seem like common sense, most snorkels have a specific design quality that makes the ideal place to attach it to the mask closer to the middle of the snorkel. Some snorkels especially feature a flexible portion near the mouthpiece. If the snorkel is attached on this flexible part, the snorkel can actually limp down into the water. So if you are unsure of where to attach your snorkel, a good rule is that the bend should follow your jaw.

#3. Smile! (No just kidding, don’t). Snorkelling is an incredibly fun activity, and most people on snorkel trips are with friends and family. Everyone wants photos, and what do you do for a photo? SMILE! However, while you’re snorkelling, you actually want to close your lips over the mouthpiece to make a seal; if you smile, it is an easy way to get water in your mouth—definitely not pleasant!

How to know if a snorkel mask fits?

4. Test the Mask’s Fit. Before purchasing a snorkel mask, it’s crucial to test its fit. Put the mask on your face without strapping it on, and inhale through your nose. The mask should create a suction that holds it in place. If the mask falls off or leaks air, there are better fits for you. You should also check the mask’s visual field to see underwater.

5. Try Different Masks. Not all snorkel masks are created equal, and what works for one person may not work for another. It’s essential to try on different masks and find the one that fits your face perfectly. Several factors can affect the mask’s fit, including the size and shape of your face, the thickness of your hair, and the shape of your nose.

6. Choose a Mask with a Comfortable Strap. The mask’s strap is another essential factor when finding the perfect fit. The strap should be comfortable and easy to adjust. It should also be durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of regular use.

How To Use Your Snorkel. The snorkel is always placed on the left side of the mask, which has been the traditional position, thanks to scuba divers.

Why are full face snorkels not allowed?

Dead Space! CO2 Build Up!. When we breath in and out we humans produce carbon dioxide (CO2). When we do an activity which exerts us, our body needs more oxygen to keep our muscles working, and therefore our breathing becomes faster. At the same time we breath shallower which creates a problem. Exhaled air contains more CO2 than the air we inhale. If we do this in a closed space, like a full face snorkel mask, we won’t exhale deeply enough to push all the bad air out. It’s like breathing in a closed bag where the CO2 keeps on building until it becomes very toxic. If you breathe in used air full of CO2 it leads to headache, dizziness, and unconsciousness. That’s bad!

Now some of the designers of full face snorkel masks say they have taken this into account. Their full face snorkelling masks have a “breathing part” and a “looking part”. The breathing part is located near the mouth and looks a lot like an oxygen mask. This part seals the mouth and nose off from the rest of the mask. On the top of the breathing part are little valves which are designed to only let in fresh air and prevent any bad CO2 rich air escape to the looking part of the mask. The bad air is forced to the lower part of the breathing part and flows to and out of the snorkel on the sides of the mask.

You Can’t Trust That It Will Work. In some cheap, poorly made and bad fitting full face snorkelling masks the mechanism as described above simply doesn’t work. It could be that the valves are faulty and don’t work, or the breathing part has a poor fit. The result is that bad CO2 rich air leaks down the sides of the mask.
