Scuba pro solo here. It's very comfortable and offers good visibility, although it still fogs a bit. Great video 👌
The first mask I bought was the cressi nano and I still use it ever since. I worked in a dive shop and tried many different ones, but this one just fits best. There is the Sphera Freediving mask which is a ultra low volume mask with a big field of view. It's probably one of the best masks to freedive deep without having to use a noseclip, but it doesn't fit to many faces.
Thank you! After seeing this video, will return what I purchased from a LDS. Now I see, they do not cater to freediving, just scuba. Glad it has a 30 day return policy! St Augustine next week, to a REAL Freediving shop! Your the best, Adam!
For people with a small face or who just like a small volume the Cressi Super Occhio is a great choice (which is probably why it's been in the marked for so many years). I've used it for underwater rugby as well as free diving and scuba diving. Only issue - no space for a nose clip as the lenses are not far enough apart.
The cressi superocchio is the only mask that fits me, I dread the day they finally take it out of production. Great mask to try on for people who have trouble finding masks in general!
Thanks Adam......another awesome video. I'm not a free diver......I'm a bubble maker as you guys like to call us, I believe, but really enjoy your channel. Maybe not a direct member of your family that you love to talk about, but certainly a close relative.
Sporasub Mystic user here and a mares dual snorkel, for me nice and simple combo that is also very comfortable. If i spit in the mask before dive it never fogs up even after hours of diving.
My first mask came from the mirage barracuda snorkelling set. It super incredible quality FOR THE PRICE. Soft silicone in the mask, and a super comfortable mouth piece. Fins could be better though
The mask which fits me the best is an Aropec single lens frameless mask, but I also like my Scubapro Frameless Mini. The Scubapro is easier to equalize, but the nose pocket is too small. This can get painful on longer diving days. Both of them work well with up to a month of mustache growth.
i used to have an omer alien and now i recently purchase a mares viper which ia a great mask, as you said it's a very personal choice :) . thank you again for your videos. Regards from Ireland.
I’ve been using the hammerhead MV3 action mask with purple glass coating (reduces glare or whatever) lol. It has an integral GoPro mount. The glass coating is starting to wear but it doesn’t effect the view through the lenses. I’ve been using it happily for almost 2 years.
I ordered an Omer Alien mask online and got lucky, fits pretty great except the nose is a tiny bit big and prescription lenses up to -6.0 diopters are available for it, so I have -2.0s in mine, makes looking at sea life much more enjoyable
I use the subgear steel comp. Very comfortable around my high nose bridge, nice low volume, fits my face very well. But I am interested in the Cressi Nano as well...
I use sporasub piranha, but its nose part is a bit hard and sometime leaking when pinching the nose,. I will try micromask later after my saving enough hahaha... thanks for sharing Adam,. Great information as always... 😊👍
I'm one of those with a weird face. My brows protrude a bit. My Omer Alien mask which is low volume and has little silicone on the brow section, so the seal there isn't perfect if I get the mask strap too tight or place it to the crown of the head. I must wear the mask with very little tightness on the strap and the strap must pass close to the ears. That way it's super comfortable and the seal is good even when I have a mustache + beard :)
Adam Freediver. to be fair, my beard doesn't get in the way as it isn't hairy where the mask seals. The only thing that could get in the way of a good seal is the moustache, and I never tried diving with a really thick one, it's relatively short, like your is sometimes. ;)
I used a cressi big eye evo mask & loved it until I lost it on a return trip from spearfishing.I Now have a cressi nano mirror mask & again find it a great fit even with my big nose😂...with both masks I had to shave as the silicone is soft.great video and keep up the good work👍🏻
SPORASUB PIRANHA is a good mask for wider bigger faces and also has a good field of view. I've used it for scuba as well without any issues. Plus it is looking cool B-)
Tusa mask also have prescription lenses. Some masks have standard design (shape) for the glass (oem lenses). These masks have a replaceable lenses where some lenses are graded (prescription lense). For snorkel, I tried a very simple j-shape snorkel (without purge and splash guard) but apparently, my gums are too sensitive which gave me bruises on my lower jaw gums. I ended up using kid friendly snorkel with very very soft mouth piece, but it has a purge and splash guard ... because it was for kid snorkeling hahah
hahahah well I bet you look very cute with your snorkel! ;) good to know about the Tusa masks! :) you can get J snorkels with soft silicon but if the kids one works then you're all good already :)
I use an Aqualung Sphera. Great mask, the volume is tiny (~65 ml), it is super comfortable with a very soft skirt and the 180 degree field of view is amazing. However the plastic lenses are fragile (e.g. the toothpaste cleaning method mentioned in this vid will scratch the shit out of them), prone to popping out and developing micro-cracks that leak. A lot of people report their vision is distorted with the curved lenses, but honestly I've never noticed it.
I'm personally not a big fan for those reasons you said....but it is still a great mask! I'd say you're most likely used to the way the lenses distort your vision. It doesn't take long to get used to it and then it's not a problem at all :)
Aqualung Sphera works best for me. It requires careful handling the plastic lenses easily scratch and you've to get used to distorted vision (takes may 1-2 hours to get used to). The second best is the Scubapro steel comp mask. Both masks very low volume.
I got really big trouble with using a snorkel. really not be used to wear that. Diving without a snorkel give me more confidence. I'm considering should I practice more to get used to wear a snorkel or should I just leave it.
I ended up getting an Aqualung Teknika...didn’t know much about this topic but the shop I went had a scuba water tank and let me try out a couple of masks. Thinking in retrospect I should have opted for a lighter mask. I think it makes a lot of difference specially when starting to go deeper to have a lower bulk mask . Aqualung Micro seems like a good option overall amongst freedivers...
Hi Adam so I bought a nano it fits pretty good. Recently I bought a white Noah for my daughter. Tried it on wow like a suctions cup and super comfy had to buy a black one for myself. I know you said you can’t buy online but i live in an area of 90 % bubble makers. No where to buy
I'm late to the video, but I've been using the Salvimar Noah myself. The OLD ones are the good ones. The NEW ones have problems with the straps breaking. It's happened to several of my friends
7 ปีที่แล้ว +1
Regards from Brazil, my friend. Another nice and informative video. Thanks!
I like the Aqualung Micromask. Low volume, good view, and fits great!! I think I spotted it on the wall behind you, might have been the same one you made fun of for the clear silicone!! 😂😂(It also comes in black though)
I'm so myopic that the only place I have found via web searches who can provide me with a custom lens fit in a mask of my choice is in the UK. I have a significant astigmatism, as well as presbyopia, which makes any common 'off the shelve' masks useless. I currently wear an off the shelf, so to speak, Rx mask with contact lenses. My vision changes about once every 8-10 months, so I have been reluctant to send a mask to the UK yet. My 'case' is probably so rare that almost no diver, free, or scuba wishes there could be a better solution.
Salvimar Noah Mask fits perfectly. I personally recommend for asians with small nose structure. The material is awesome too. #salvimarph #salvimarnoah #freediveph
I felt pressure between my eyebrows with my seac fox mask and I just watched your video, thank you for your information but I regret bought it online 😂
Hi Daddy, hi Brothers and Sisters! ;-) I love my Mares X - Free: comfy and seals even with my 3-day-beard. And the coolest thing is: The mask comes in different colors (mine is green).
Well, the spit technique only works after you treat the lenses as Adam mentioned. Good thing he mentioned that because less people know about it, specially newbies ;)
Adam Freediver no tears shampoo from johnson and johnson mixed 50/50 with fresh water is a cheap and effective anti fogging tip. I use that over any other substance, smells nice too
genius on the no tears. i used dishwashing liquid and thats can be no fun at all. But wait a moment, is he saying that if you burn your mask it will never fog again? Because I put soap in my mask every dive..
Adam, I’d love to hear about and know more about those *goggles* (not masks) I see competition divers using. How do they work without the ability to exhale air into them? Do you ever use them? Why or why not? Thanks!
All my nephews and nieces snorkel with $100+ mask because I order online see I dont like or wont seal so I give to them lol I use hammerhead mv3 with gopro mount and amber tint for spearfishing. I also been told burning film off screws the temperament causing mask to shatter under pressure. I've never had a issue buring film off
Another great video from sensei Adam, Thank you for sharing your knowledge to us. Can you elaborate more on the issues about fogging goggles and the procedures on how you defog it or preventing it from fogging aside from the traditional spit method. Thank you so much sensei!
been freediving for a few months now, but there are still new things i've learned from this vid. thanks! quick inquiry tho, about deep dive goggles, will you create a vid for that? also any idea about saline goggles? cheers!
Fluid goggles are just goggles with different lenses in them that are the same/similar density to water so you can see clearer with them. Not many competitive divers use them though and I personally dont like them. I'm not sure if I will make a video on it....it would be a short video! haha
Hey I dunno if you are going to answer, but I’m a bloody beginner and I found a really good offer, with fins, a snorkel and a mask( online from a serious shop) for 150€. Before the sale it was 250€, but now I’m not sure if I should by it because of the mask. Where I live there are none of these stores. Hope you’ll answer me 😊😀 Great video btw
Acualung micromask is the best is far as I know. One of the best silicone, super low volume, dose not need to be tight on my face, but any droplets of water hardly can get in
I'm using OMER "Alien" mask (I think it is the second mask you showed , but mine is full black). I'm pretty happy with it! Keep the good work and thanks! =D
I was aiming for a monocrystal mask, but in my local dive shops the ones I tried on didn't fit my face, and I didn't want to buy one online, so I ended up buying the Cressi Calibro in white and pink, very girly
I don't know if you'll see this comment Adam but I can see that your tongue covers your teeth quite a bit, your tongue is the right size. so I'd check out getting a palatal expander to make room for your tongue. It should help with your lisp. Check out Breath by James Nestor, he talks A LOT about mouth problems and well..breath but you're highly experienced there.
Tusa freedom one is best for my face. It has low volume. It fits me well. Specially im asian its i can equalise better. Its nosepocket is not so big and not long pointed.
I saw "MASKS for Free.." and got hella exited.
hahahahahaha ah sorry bro! haha
Lol
Well explained, exept the part of snorkel.
I think you should explain WHY valves and splashguards are "big no no". "Inappropriate" isn't a reason, we talk here about whether it works well or not and why.

Yeah i've never been a big fan of the sphera. I just dont like how it warps vision but the nano is great!
This answered many of my questions that other videos did not address, especially field of view. Thanks!
Thank you! After seeing this video, will return what I purchased from a LDS. Now I see, they do not cater to freediving, just scuba. Glad it has a 30 day return policy! St Augustine next week, to a REAL Freediving shop! Your the best, Adam!
happy to help out!!!
For people with a small face or who just like a small volume the Cressi Super Occhio is a great choice (which is probably why it's been in the marked for so many years). I've used it for underwater rugby as well as free diving and scuba diving. Only issue - no space for a nose clip as the lenses are not far enough apart.
Yeah true! that is a great mask. I used to use it :)
Also as well as goos old spit, Sea Drops or the Cressi de-misting liquid is great. When I was a kid we used a slice of potato. Also brilliant!
Needs to be cut fresh though, and throw it away before your dive bag becomes a petri dish of rotting vegetables (this has happened to me too).
ah wow! I've never heard of potatoes before. I'll give it a go ;)
Cressi f1. For general purpose snorkelling/ spear fishing. Loved it so far
The cressi superocchio is the only mask that fits me, I dread the day they finally take it out of production. Great mask to try on for people who have trouble finding masks in general!
I doubt they'll ever take it out of production. it's a classic ;)
Shana Van Hauwermeiren I'll have a give-away tomorrow for free dive mask and snorkel
i was so confused until i saw your video!!! thank you very much mate!!!
absolute pleasure :)
Thanks Adam......another awesome video. I'm not a free diver......I'm a bubble maker as you guys like to call us, I believe, but really enjoy your channel. Maybe not a direct member of your family that you love to talk about, but certainly a close relative.
Oceanic Shadow 8 years service. Love it. I think lens will be clean after some use. So if you scare to burn just use it and let time do work for you.
Sporasub Mystic user here and a mares dual snorkel, for me nice and simple combo that is also very comfortable. If i spit in the mask before dive it never fogs up even after hours of diving.
You must have the magic spit! ;)
My first mask came from the mirage barracuda snorkelling set. It super incredible quality FOR THE PRICE. Soft silicone in the mask, and a super comfortable mouth piece. Fins could be better though
Oh noo, i just bought my mask online and haven't try it yet. Thank you Adam for your explanation.
Thank you so much!!!
The mask which fits me the best is an Aropec single lens frameless mask, but I also like my Scubapro Frameless Mini. The Scubapro is easier to equalize, but the nose pocket is too small. This can get painful on longer diving days. Both of them work well with up to a month of mustache growth.
Sounds like you have a versatile face! haha I have a friend who's nose is so small that she has to get custom masks just to reach her nose! haha
It took us about an hour to find a good mask. It is true, you have to fit it yourself. Btw, thanks for the anti-fog tip.
very welcome :) yeah it's so important because it's on your face it has to be comfortable
How does it feel to be a legend. Good job mate
Hollis all the way for big noses.........also for scrip lenses so good !!
yeah they do make good stuff
i used to have an omer alien and now i recently purchase a mares viper which ia a great mask, as you said it's a very personal choice :) . thank you again for your videos.
Regards from Ireland.
thank buddy :) I do enjoy making them :)
You are one of the funniest people on YT😁, and I have learned a lot from your videos👍🏻
Thank you buddy! I'm so stoked you've learnt a lot :)
Love these videos man !! All around entertainment and education! Good stuff lol
Thank you! I love making them :)
This video is exacly what I need. Thanks a lot for the knowledge.
I use a Hollis M3, it's a very comfortable mask and the glass is super clear
that is a nice mask :)
I’ve been using the hammerhead MV3 action mask with purple glass coating (reduces glare or whatever) lol. It has an integral GoPro mount. The glass coating is starting to wear but it doesn’t effect the view through the lenses. I’ve been using it happily for almost 2 years.
I quite like that mask myself. I always stay away from coatings personally but the Go Pro mount is always welcome in a mask!
I ordered an Omer Alien mask online and got lucky, fits pretty great except the nose is a tiny bit big and prescription lenses up to -6.0 diopters are available for it, so I have -2.0s in mine, makes looking at sea life much more enjoyable
Oh I didnt know that Omer did Prescription lenses! good to know! lucky duck though that it fits well ;)
I use Agualung Micromask and i love every second using it, it is perfect for me.
it's a great mask :)
I use the same sporasub mask that you showed in the video. It’s a great mask with very a soft silicon skirt. Over all great mask
it's one of the best i reckon
just got new mask. it works amazing and is super comfortable.
awesome :) a good mask is a precious thing!
I use the subgear steel comp. Very comfortable around my high nose bridge, nice low volume, fits my face very well. But I am interested in the Cressi Nano as well...
yeah the nano is nice :) i often get issues with my nose bridge as well
Gotta love this guy. Champion. Thanks for the info
Thank you! Just stoked that it's helpful :)
Cressi Nano has worked great for me for years!
it's a great mask :)
I use sporasub piranha, but its nose part is a bit hard and sometime leaking when pinching the nose,. I will try micromask later after my saving enough hahaha... thanks for sharing Adam,. Great information as always... 😊👍
Thank you Reshi :) thanks for sharing!
I'm one of those with a weird face. My brows protrude a bit.

I must wear the mask with very little tightness on the strap and the strap must pass close to the ears. That way it's super comfortable and the seal is good even when I have a mustache + beard :)
Ah wow! you're one of the first people that can wear the Alien with a beard
Adam Freediver. to be fair, my beard doesn't get in the way as it isn't hairy where the mask seals. The only thing that could get in the way of a good seal is the moustache, and I never tried diving with a really thick one, it's relatively short, like your is sometimes. ;)
very informative channel, all those advice on improving breath hold and training are really helping out, cheers mate
Thanks buddy! :)
I used a cressi big eye evo mask & loved it until I lost it on a return trip from spearfishing.I Now have a cressi nano mirror mask & again find it a great fit even with my big nose😂...with both masks I had to shave as the silicone is soft.great video and keep up the good work👍🏻
ah buddy! you're lucky! those are both great masks and that's awesome that they both fit you so well
i use the aqualung sphera i really like it because of the super low volume and the very wide field of view
I've never been a huge fan of it only because of how it warps vision but I'm sure you get used to it after you dive with it a lot
Omer Umberto Pelizzari M1 and Omer Apnea are both amazing. They have an extra thin silicone either side of the nose for equalizing
They're both great masks!
SPORASUB PIRANHA is a good mask for wider bigger faces and also has a good field of view. I've used it for scuba as well without any issues. Plus it is looking cool B-)
Good tip! And nice name Adam ;)
Ive learned so much from watching your videos. Thankyou! You deliver infornmation in a way that noobs can digest. Respect!
Omer apnea mask, best mask I've ever had!
that's a nice one :)
Hammerhead MV3 (GoPro attachment), very soft silicon and works well!
ah nice mask :)
Tusa mask also have prescription lenses. Some masks have standard design (shape) for the glass (oem lenses). These masks have a replaceable lenses where some lenses are graded (prescription lense). For snorkel, I tried a very simple j-shape snorkel (without purge and splash guard) but apparently, my gums are too sensitive which gave me bruises on my lower jaw gums.

hahahah well I bet you look very cute with your snorkel! ;) good to know about the Tusa masks! :) you can get J snorkels with soft silicon but if the kids one works then you're all good already :)
I’m a Beginner this video helps a lot thanks 👍🏽
Awesome! so happy to help :)
just got a cressi calibro. it fits good in my face!
Nice! as long as it fits your face you're good to go!
Bloody rad video :) thx for super to-the-point tips!

I have two in my basket at fleabay. Are they worth it?
Aqualung Sphera works best for me. It requires careful handling the plastic lenses easily scratch and you've to get used to distorted vision (takes may 1-2 hours to get used to). The second best is the Scubapro steel comp mask. Both masks very low volume.
both great masks but i never spent the time to get used to the Sphera distorted vision haha
I got really big trouble with using a snorkel. really not be used to wear that. Diving without a snorkel give me more confidence. I'm considering should I practice more to get used to wear a snorkel or should I just leave it.
Hey Adam, why do you suggest we avoid snorkels with a splash guard or a purge valve. Aren't those more practical?
Sporasub mystic is the name of the mask. I have one too. Really good
I ended up getting an Aqualung Teknika...didn’t know much about this topic but the shop I went had a scuba water tank and let me try out a couple of masks. Thinking in retrospect I should have opted for a lighter mask. I think it makes a lot of difference specially when starting to go deeper to have a lower bulk mask . Aqualung Micro seems like a good option overall amongst freedivers...
Hi Adam so I bought a nano it fits pretty good. Recently I bought a white Noah for my daughter. Tried it on wow like a suctions cup and super comfy had to buy a black one for myself. I know you said you can’t buy online but i live in an area of 90 % bubble makers. No where to buy
I'm late to the video, but I've been using the Salvimar Noah myself. The OLD ones are the good ones. The NEW ones have problems with the straps breaking. It's happened to several of my friends
Regards from Brazil, my friend. Another nice and informative video. Thanks!
3:46! HAHAHAHAHAHA LOVE IT!!! You're a gangster, Adam. Thanks for the great videos. Love your humility.
hahah i wish!!! So happy you like the videos, it means a lot!
I like the Aqualung Micromask. Low volume, good view, and fits great!! I think I spotted it on the wall behind you, might have been the same one you made fun of for the clear silicone!! 😂😂(It also comes in black though)
hahahaha the clear silicone is okay ;) it is a great mask!
I'm so myopic that the only place I have found via web searches who can provide me with a custom lens fit in a mask of my choice is in the UK. I have a significant astigmatism, as well as presbyopia, which makes any common 'off the shelve' masks useless. I currently wear an off the shelf, so to speak, Rx mask with contact lenses. My vision changes about once every 8-10 months, so I have been reluctant to send a mask to the UK yet. My 'case' is probably so rare that almost no diver, free, or scuba wishes there could be a better solution.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I really hope the situation changes and you can get a mask suited to you soon!
What's the drawback of wearing lenses anyway?
Really excited for the wetsuit one
Coming Monday/Tuesday next week :)
I've got the OMER Alien mask, and it's been great for me
that is a great mask!
Omer Alien here as well, great mask.
I have Cressi Minima. It have a really special look and people often calls be Batman.
hahah you are Batman! ;)
Nice easy to follow videos. Keep up the good work Adam!
Salvimar Noah Mask fits perfectly. I personally recommend for asians with small nose structure. The material is awesome too. #salvimarph #salvimarnoah #freediveph
agreed! I use that mask :)
Thanks for all the great tips again🤙🏽
so so welcome Jeff :)
Realy good tips! Thanks ☺
You're so welcome Rune :) glad the video was helpful
i think the mares viper looks awesome.im going to start the lvl one freediver course soon.so im getting my gear together.i hope it fits me. (big head)
hahah it should fit for sure :) good luck on your course!
I felt pressure between my eyebrows with my seac fox mask and I just watched your video, thank you for your information but I regret bought it online 😂
ah no that sucks. Just pop into a dive shop if you can and try some others out :)
Good to know. Can you please make a video of freediving nose clip vs. swimming nose clip? thanks!
I can do that for sure :)
Thank you that would be helpful.
Found your channel today and i already love it!
I use the Omer Alien and it works just fine
Hi Adam, I’m a big fan of your vids and hope someday I can do what you do👍🏻 keep doing what ya do man👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thank you so much! I really appreciate that :)
Thank you for the precious information!😊
so so welcome :)
Hi Daddy, hi Brothers and Sisters! ;-) I love my Mares X - Free: comfy and seals even with my 3-day-beard. And the coolest thing is: The mask comes in different colors (mine is green).
that's right! because looking cool is the most important! now this means you have to get a green wetsuit ;)
Adam i love your videos 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you buddy!
My always favorite is Cressi Minima! 👍☺
The worst mask is Sporasub Piranha!!! ( Painful during the pressure on cheekbone)
Thanks for your suggestions mate!
Great video as always! But i missed the simplest of them all: the spit technique for defoging your mask 😆😉
Ah no! Why on earth did I not mention that? oh well....I'mm chuck it into a 'tips for freediving' video
Well, the spit technique only works after you treat the lenses as Adam mentioned. Good thing he mentioned that because less people know about it, specially newbies ;)
Nejla Kambič I'll have a give-away tomorrow for free dive mask and snorkel
Adam Freediver no tears shampoo from johnson and johnson mixed 50/50 with fresh water is a cheap and effective anti fogging tip. I use that over any other substance, smells nice too
genius on the no tears. i used dishwashing liquid and thats can be no fun at all. But wait a moment, is he saying that if you burn your mask it will never fog again? Because I put soap in my mask every dive..
Immersion freediving spirit black, suits me very well...
that's quite a nice mask
Adam, I’d love to hear about and know more about those *goggles* (not masks) I see competition divers using. How do they work without the ability to exhale air into them? Do you ever use them? Why or why not?
Thanks!
All my nephews and nieces snorkel with $100+ mask because I order online see I dont like or wont seal so I give to them lol I use hammerhead mv3 with gopro mount and amber tint for spearfishing. I also been told burning film off screws the temperament causing mask to shatter under pressure. I've never had a issue buring film off
Another great video from sensei Adam, Thank you for sharing your knowledge to us. Can you elaborate more on the issues about fogging goggles and the procedures on how you defog it or preventing it from fogging aside from the traditional spit method. Thank you so much sensei!
Thank you :) as long as you burn or rub off the factory film you can use spit, soap or toothpase to defog a mask :)
Another option is no tears baby shampoo.
I use the scubapro devil.
Nice video 👍
thank you :) Scuba Pro make good masks :)
Thank you Adam. I'm using Aqualung Sphera but have to shave else water enters too much.
I like the Sphera but I never wore it long enough to get used to how it warps your vision
Very good info. Thanks!
You're so welcome :)
I am using the mares viper it is a really nice mask!
been freediving for a few months now, but there are still new things i've learned from this vid. thanks! quick inquiry tho, about deep dive goggles, will you create a vid for that? also any idea about saline goggles? cheers!

No use dry snorkel for spear fishing? Better use clasic snorkel?
Hey I dunno if you are going to answer, but I’m a bloody beginner and I found a really good offer, with fins, a snorkel and a mask( online from a serious shop) for 150€. Before the sale it was 250€, but now I’m not sure if I should by it because of the mask. Where I live there are none of these stores. Hope you’ll answer me 😊😀
Great video btw
Thanks a lot for your videos. Thanks to them I'm going to start to swim in the sea
you're so welcome! I'm so happy you'll start :) the ocean is the most incredible place
Acualung micromask is the best is far as I know. One of the best silicone, super low volume, dose not need to be tight on my face, but any droplets of water hardly can get in
sounds like it fits you perfectly :)
I'm using OMER "Alien" mask (I think it is the second mask you showed , but mine is full black). I'm pretty happy with it!
Keep the good work and thanks! =D
that is a nice mask :) thank you!!!
Can you free dive
I waited for this for months
hahaha sorry! Got caught up at the world championships and then travelling haha
Adam Freediver its okay just stay awesome 😊
OMER alien - best for me. Legend! ;)
Same! 🙂
My new favorite channel!
Thanks Kev!
I was aiming for a monocrystal mask, but in my local dive shops the ones I tried on didn't fit my face, and I didn't want to buy one online, so I ended up buying the Cressi Calibro in white and pink, very girly
I don't know if you'll see this comment Adam but I can see that your tongue covers your teeth quite a bit, your tongue is the right size. so I'd check out getting a palatal expander to make room for your tongue. It should help with your lisp.
Check out Breath by James Nestor, he talks A LOT about mouth problems and well..breath but you're highly experienced there.
Tusa freedom one is best for my face. It has low volume. It fits me well. Specially im asian its i can equalise better. Its nosepocket is not so big and not long pointed.
ah nice mask! good to know because a lot of asians find it hard with masks made for european noses
