Are full face snorkels actually better than traditional masks?

Full-face snorkeling masks are a good choice for casual snorkeling in calm water. However, if you want to dive while snorkeling or plan for a more intensive activity, we recommend using a traditional mask to be able to equalize water pressure if needed.

Why are full face snorkel masks 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.

How long should a snorkel mask last?

A good quality mask such as one made with tempered glass and high grade silicone has a very good lifespan. A mask that is well taken care of and stored properly will often last 10 to 20+ years.

Masks will need regular washing with warm water, a mild soap such as dish soap and a soft brush or cloth. Rinse with fresh water, dry and store in a container or case in a cool, dry place away from direct light. The silicone mask strap and skirt can seem an attractive toy to animals so make sure it is not accessible to pets.

My scuba masks always gets foggy, how do I make it stop?

New masks all need a good wash before use to remove any manufacture oil or dust. Dish soap, hot water and a soft brush or cloth, wash and rinse a few times on the inside of the glass. This process also needs to be repeated on a regular basis, the cleaner the inside glass is the less the fog will stick to it. Once clean a commercial de-fog such asSea GoldorSea Drops will help keep things clear.

Which country made Cressi?

Cressi is one of the largest manufacturers of water sports equipment in the world serving the scuba dive, snorkel and swim industries. The company’s five divisions cover four markets—scuba diving, snorkeling, spearfishing, and swimming. Cressi maintains a significant presence in each major economic region around the globe and delivers some 300 distinct products to more than 90 countries. Formerly Cressi-Sub, the Italian company was founded by two brothers, Egidio and Nanni Cressi in 1946 in Genoa, Italy. Still family owned and operated, the company is headed today by Antonio Cressi and its headquarters and manufacturing facilities remain in Genoa.

The Cressi name has been associated with diving, especially spearfishing, since the earliest days of the sport. Egidio and Nanni Cressi began producing masks and spearguns by hand in 1938. Their products were made for the emerging spearfishing community along the northern Mediterranean coast. Since then the company has remained an integral part of the diving community and Cressi-sponsored athletes have won 12 world spearfishing titles. Product innovation for scuba divers have also been significant, including the first open-heel adjustable dive fin and the first diving mask with a dedicated nose pocket. Today Cressi is one of only a few companies in the world that manufactures a full line of equipment and accessories for each of its markets.

SwimmingCressi has a long history in the recreational swimming market. It first introduced the Nuoto swim goggles in the 1950s and today offers a full line of nearly 40 products for both recreational and competitive swimmers. Notable is that in all models Cressi Swim products use professional-grade materials, namely silicone for skirts and seals and shatterproof glass lenses. The company offers two dozen models of swim masks and goggles in a wide range of styles, including several models for children. Other products include a range of accessories such as short fins, hand-held paddles and gloves for training, suits and swim caps.

How to test a snorkel mask?

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.

Who owns Cressi?

The Cressi company is still entirely owned by the Cressi family, which carries on with the same passion, the work started by brothers Nanni and Egidio Cressi. Its spirit lies in the manufacturing tradition, with a clear preference for the conception and realization of its products in-house, from the initial design through to the smallest details. Cressi focuses on those who love all facets of the aquatic world. The company has never exaggerated with successful products on the market, but has instead always invested in research and development to the benefit of quality and reliability, the evolution of materials.

How do you equalize a snorkel mask?

One is the mass space itself and all you have to do is simply exhale. Through your nose with just a little bit of back pressure and that will equalize the ambient pressure surrounding the mask.

How do you adjust a snorkel mask?

High up a lot of divers. Place it quite far down so the back is actually on their neck.

Why do snorkel masks fog up?

The number one reason for a foggy mask is dirt. Even a small amount of dirt, oil, or specks can attract the moisture and create fog.

If you keep your mask clean, the moisture will collect at the bottom, leaving you with clear vision in your goggles.

Be sure you are using some type of cleaning agent before every dive. This may be an actual defogging spray, a spit-shine, or baby shampoo.

Any of these will work to simply clean out the mask and prevent condensation from getting inside of the mask as you dive.

Tips to Keep Your Mask from Fogging While Snorkeling. If you’re struggling with a foggy mask, here are some of the best tried and true tips from experienced divers that may help clear things up.

Should you spit in snorkel mask?

Spit – While we should be trying to sell you the ‘you beaut’ commercial solutions, our preferred pre-dive anti-fog is spit. Spit on the inside of the mask and rub it around with your finger. Dunk the mask briefly in either fresh or sea water. The goal is to leave thin layer of saliva on the inside of the glass. Spitting does not work well if the mask dries out before diving or snorkelling, so use this technique immediately before entering the water.

Caution: Rinse Bucket – Under no circumstances should you spit in a diving/snorkelling mask and then rinse it in the rinse bucket of a dive boat! This is an almost certain way to spread viruses! The rinse bucket on a charter dive boat should be reserved exclusively for those using commercial defog, or the dive boat’s preferred defog solutions. All it takes is one sick person spitting in a mask and briefly dunking it in the rinse bucket to contaminate the bucket. We avoid this by rinsing our masks in seawater (works fine), fresh water from the shower hose if there is one, or even bottled water as a last resort.

Baby Shampoo – Another do it yourself pre-dive solution is baby shampoo. Baby shampoo can be used just like commercial defogging solutions. Many divers carry a bottle of 50/50 watered-down baby shampoo with their dive gear. A few drops rubbed into the lens and then briefly rinsed out just before the dive will keep a mask from fogging. We know people who prefer to apply baby shampoo neat onto the inside of the mask lens when the mask is dry just before putting it away for storage. Then you just give it a quick rinse before you dive. Baby shampoo is preferable to standard shampoo, as it is generally hypo-allergenic, less irritating to eyes, and biodegradable. Baby shampoo usually smells good, too.
