- Full face snorkel masterclass! In this video we learn how to use a full face snorkeling mask safely. Snorkeling with a full face snorkel mask can be a fun experience if you learn it properly and safely. We discuss, fitting your full face mask, clearing water out of mask, swimming, diving down and the safety aspects of snorkeling with a full face snorkeling mask. I do discuss some of the full face snorkel mask danger as well.

Many thanks, I have been researching "what happens if your cpap pressure is too high?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Panvaryor Unexpected Preference - (do a google search ) ? It is a great one off guide for discovering how to eradicating sleep apnea and snoring minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.
You prolly dont care but if you are bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother recently :)
@Kylan Evan Yea, I have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :)
Watching this because I just watched a 38 year old man drown in Maui while snorkeling. He was in the water alone and his family was on the beach. They were unable to revive him after CPR for 45 min. I realized that I know nothing about "snorkel safety" and did not know that was even a thing to take so seriously until now. He was using a traditional 2 piece snorkel but I have this full face mask.
This video was beyond helpful even after snorkeling prior to watching. Great instructions for understanding. Thanks so much!
Cool thanks. Glad it was helpful for you
Used a normal mask with snorkel for years and just purchased a full face design
Thanks for the heads up on safety and advice with your instructional video
I just switched from a traditional snorkel and mask to a full face so i really needed this video!!
Just downloaded this video to watch on the plane when i board soon,bought a full face snorkel,but never used it yet,cant wait.👌👌
Soooo I guess I’ll never snorkel cuz I don’t have the friends lol
You can always go on a snorkel tour boat, great way to meet interesting people. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching
Yeah, I do it alone because I live near a beach and want to enjoy it randomly. I don't only want to go on a tour.
@@rontayan as long as there is someone in the water on the beach it should be fine
oh thats sad
Well there’s plenty of fish in the sea
Epic explenation, havent found another video so detailed about snorkeling masks
Wow thank you I am glad you enjoyed it!
super educational. everything are spot on. safety should always be a priority and everytime go out or do something new. always ask yourself "WHAT AM I WILLING TO RISK".
Yeah that is a good way to think about it. Anything fun in life will have risk associated with it. Glad you liked the vid. thanks for watching
never snorkeld and used a full face for the first time. had a nice experience
Good to know
Thank you for answering my question, Joe.. I watched your video before I looked at masks. Very important information! Thanks
Great glad you enjoyed thanks for watching and commenting
Literally I didn't saw like that explanation clapping 👏👏 🥺❣️
What a great video. I've had my full face mask for a while and I've snorkeled many times in Maui where the water is pretty rough at times. The great thing about these masks is they don't fog. So it was good to know that if they do it may be a sign of trouble. Good to know.
Thx, great vid! Answers all the questions I had about my mask 🙏
Great to hear!
Thank You very much for this helpful video. Preparing for a snorkeling trip down in the FL Keys in August & i had seen many bad reviews about these mask after purchasing one
Yeah, I would still recommend traditional snorkel. And always go with a buddy. But some people like the full face more. Stay safe, have fun! Thanks for watching
Great perfect smooth... explanations big up
Thank you so much for the info you were so helpful and I did notice that I was rebreathing the same air and I got it fixed
I am absolutely devastated to go snorkeling before watching some of your videos. I could've done sooo MANY more things if i had.
Thanks for this video. My sons now know what to do
Excellent teaching. Thank you 🙏
Wow thank you, glad you enjoyed
Amazing video perfectly clear,Thanks.
I am a NAUI Instructor and I like the explanation! Good video!
Wow cool, glad to hear you approve. Thanks for watching
What an explanation, thx!
Usefull video. Thank you. I just recieved and tried the Rocontrip full face mask in the pool and it works just fine. I heading down to the Dominican for 3-4 weeks and I am really looking forward to trying it out there but I am also bringing my regular mask and snorkle to go deeper as I find the full face mask creates too much pressure as you said. It is ideal for surface snorkling and maybe go down to 3-5 feet at the most for short periods. Thanks again and good diving!
Good idea to make sure you have a traditional mask! Thanks for watching
Excellent info. Cheers!!!
Fantastic video and great safety tips 👍👍👍👍👍
Brilliant presentation
Thanks for the warning
I probaly go snorkeling next year with normal snorkels this helpfull too!
I hope you enjoy! I would recommend a traditional mask and snorkel
Great job..thank you so much.
your channel is helpful thanks for the tips and lessons
Awesome, glad you are enjoying
Thanks for this very informative video... Ride safe and God bless 💪💪💪
Great tips! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
nice introduction. thanks for sharing. after listening to your introduction, I start to know how to introduce our products.
Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed the vid! Thanks for watching
I bought this snorkel mask about a month ago and love it!!! I'm snorkeling quite frequently with friends and amazed how easy it is. Just need to ensure that the mask is "snug" against your face as suggested. I like to clean the mask before and also dry off the water so you can have the best experience viewing in the water. I'm actually quite hesitant to go under water with it, as you mentioned, it should be more for just on the surface, which I agree. Most places to viewing marine life does occur deeper than 5 feet. Yet, good to know that I can still breath with the mask under water. Its also a best practice to always wash your masks to prevent the salt water from damaging or eroding it. I use soap, water and a sponge to clean it after each use. With the enjoyment of exploring the underwater life, just be aware where you are in relation to the shore as I have a number of times explored further out than expected. Stay safe and enjoy the experience.
Glad you are enjoying it, thanks for the tips and stay safe. Thanks for watching and commenting
Thank you soo much, I got one of these and I tested it out but then I saw the fog and I realized that I was rebreathing the air. After watching this video i knew what the problem was and fixed it
Yeah, I am glad the vid helped. Stay safe out there. Thanks for watching
Good video young man.
Regards,
40+ year professional diver.
Was the check valve for the snorkel inlet not working to seal air from going back up when exhaling?
Are some designs less reliable and prone to this happening? Are they all basically silicone flapper valves of varying thicknesses?
What type of valves should one look for to avoid this type of issue?
Just bought a full face Snorkel... and this video explains its use well. Thanks buddy.
You should include...
TIMING... how long you should comfortably and safely stay under water.
TRAINING... how to test your training, when you are trained well.
SNORKEL... how to take care of it so it lasts long and keeps good.
BUDDY TRAINING... how should your guardian angel guard you and when and how he/she should do his/her lifesaving act.
Yes me too miss the TIMING part
Great video. Great content man. You earned a new subscriber!
Awesome, glad you enjpyed
seeing the video i have a lot of work to do do ,cheers Joe !
You and me both!
Your videos are awesome well explained
Wow thanks, thats awesome. I am glad you enjoy them. Thanks for watching
Amazing thats da one explanation i want to know about acuba snorkel products.
Great glad I could help. Thanks for watching.
You're so good man...your new subscriber here because i am just starting to enjoy snorkelling🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Joe. This is a great video for not only beginners but anyone who wants to use a full face snorkel mask
Awesome thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I wish I had a video like this before buying one. Thanks for watching and commenting
Excellent video, thanks! Easy enough to use with kids.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you brother
I really appreciate the video. Bought one of these because jaw issues and was worried I couldn’t find a mouth piece that would fit my tiny mouth. It came but it had no directions. So I’m going to be referring to your video. We are staying in a private home in Tahiti on the beach. So I’ll have the opportunity to try it in shallow water where I can touch the bottom before we go out to snorkel. If for any reason, I’m uncomfortable I’ll stop immediately. And yes I’ll have 3 buddies. I’m probably not going to go underwater.
Thanks for the info
Thanks for commenting glad you enjoyed
nice video, i bought myself a full snorkel mask for my dad and me because we are going snorkelling in the mediterranean sea off cyprus next month, we have no experience with it. greetings Bram
Finally, recommendation got it 👍
Thanks 🙏 I just bought one and it’s Awesome 👏 I just Subscribed to your Videos Thanks 😊 Again
Wow thanks! GLad your enjoying the vids
This was very helpful
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!
My sleep apnea machine is a full face bipap..I think I might be comfy with this!
Thank you for the information. Can you please show how to clean a full face snorkel mask? That would also be helpful.
Awesome video thank you. Just can't use a conventional snorkel, so hopefully this will work. Going swimming with dolphins in three weeks, clearance after lasik surgery in two, so a week to practice in the pool.
Wow, I hope you enjoy and have a great time. Try to get pool practice so you know you will be comfortable
Nice video! I used a full face mask for the first time yesterday in my pool and found it harder to go deep into the water. All of that air in the larger mask makes it harder to go down. Otherwise, it's pretty good.
Yeah, it makes your head very buoyant. Not good for going down
Hi Joe,I like the green WSTOO full face mask you were wearing. May I ask where did you get the mount kit for gopro as shown in your video? Thanks.
Thank you for letting us know how to use a snorkel, I’m wanting to get into snorkelling because for reason I get this rush of energy when I snorkel, almost feels like I overcame something. I’m terrified of the ocean though so I’m hoping that snorkelling can help me overcome that fear. I personally believe that a regular mask is the best compared to the full mask but I am wanting to try to use a full mask at least once out of curiosity. Anyhow thx for the tutorial!
Wow cool, just practice in a pool or shallow spot, once you get comfortable you will really enjoy it! Thanks for watching
Joe Oceanside will do
@@TheKiwiCache honestly im also terrified of the ocean, for me it helps when i can see clearly whats under me
Great video! I did have a question. Is it normal for the rubber to collapse when diving down? Mine does that and sometimes it corrects itself when I surface and sometimes it doesn't. Water seeps in too when that happens. I have to readjust it every time.
This tips are actually useful when going swimming 👍👏👏👏 glad thing i watched it first before going swimming
Edit: +1 sub for you man
awesome thanks, glad you enjoyed the vid. Thanks for watching
Very informative video !! Thank you . How can they design these masks better ??
Maybe if they had more sizes and shapes for a better fit and reduce the internal air volume. Good question
Oh I wanted to use one for spearfishing, thank you for this video, now I see that I cant use it for any kind of diving under 2-3 meters :)
No definitely not good for spearfishing or freediving. Go with tradtional mask. Thanks for watching.
@@JoeOceanside is it fine for five ft.?
In pool
I bought a lightahead full face mask it’s great
Cool, I haven't seen that one yet. I will look into it
That is a great video. I am
open water water certified and will be using FFM for the first time in the shark cage dive at the GA Aquarium.
You really gave me great info and have prepared me for the dive. Thanks Joe!
Wow this helps mine is coming in 2 hours or more
Have fun, stay safe
Thank you
Glad you liked, Thanks for watching
Hey great video but you mentioned that it’s not great for free diving
How deep till you feel unmanageable pressure you think ?
Thanks
Excellent instruction. How about reviews?
Thank you for sharing with us. One of these masks is designed and developed by us. We are currently developing a new mask for diving, please contact us if you are interested
Thank Simon
Nice video.
I miss Oceanside.
Hey, great video very useful thanks, what is the best mask or make of mask to buy please ... also what the hair cover you are using in last part of the video please sir 👍
Probably the Ocean reef aria Ocean reef aria full face snorkel mask amzn.to/3eG54os
I use a Tilos spearfishing rashguard with a hood. Thanks for watching
I actually watched this as research for a part in my horror story where I need to kill a character off and him having full scuba gear would be too much gear to take with him to perform a simple fix. Now that I know the snorkel mask's weaknesses, I can exploit them adequately.
Awesome that sounds very creative! Kudos to you for doing good research. Let me know when the story comes out,
@@JoeOceanside I love how you reply to all of the comments. Awesome video man, and thanks for the help! Subscribed :)
@@raymondcalder3863 wow thanks! Glad your enjoying the channel
Sounds like a great idea, what is the story called and is it going to be a book or something else?
Hey Joe! Where can I get one of those cool Do Rags?
I just got one today and watched before I went to the pool
Great video 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video, I have a question it gets foggy but just in the mouth area thats a problem?
If it is only in the mouth chamber then that is normal. Fogging around the eyes indicates a problem
Thanks for the video! In case there is CO2 buildup in my mask, would it be enough to remove the mask from my head to release the trapped CO2? Or rinse it with water? Not sure how deeply it gets trapped in the spaces of the mask.
I just bought one for someone to repair pool hoping to keep that someone longer a bit in pool . 2m hopefully it will help
I tried on such a mask in the shop and for me it's very hard to put it on properly and make sure that it fits well
Great and helpful video. If I have a beard will the mask not seal properly?
Good question. I do not know, I guess it depends how far out the beard goes. I would stick with traditional snorkel if possible though. Thanks for watching
Will you recommend to apply antifog solution to the edges of full face snorkeling mask?
Very useful
Glad to hear that, thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. Question are they one size?
Usually each manufacturer will have a small and large or kids and adults. Thanks for watching
What I do is I wear the mask for a few minutes and the I lift it up to get some fresh air for a couple minutes. And do everything I can to avoid CO2 build up. Today was my first day out at the beach using it. Haven't felt any dizziness or fatigue or disoriented but if I do I'm taking the mask off and getting out of the water. I never go deep in the water and I'm very skeptical going in the ocean at the beach when there is strong waves. I got caught in a wave at Navarre beach in Florida one time and water got in my nose and mouth and it was one of the most unpleasant feelings. I was fifteen when that happened. I'm not near Florida but the waves are not bad except when high tide hits and today it was high tide
I use a full face mask and love it. What brand of mask in the green one that you use ??
I have not tested it for safety yet but here is the link, WSTOO full face snorkeling mask (green) : amzn.to/36xDuGz
I have a full face mask but i find it distorts depth perception. You think your in 3ft of water and go to stand and are in 6ft of water lol. Besides that they are cool.
this is a great video my only issue is that the back ground music is too loud
What should I do to fix the valve separating my eyes and nose. I feel the air going out to my eyes while exhaling.
How do you adjust the straps?
In general, do you prefer full face mask over regular one?
I use the sfun full face snorkel mask is it ok that I have to unclip the clips when ever I put it on
Question: the kid version of this is it complicated to use or safe friendly?
can you breath while fully underwater for a long time?
Hi Joe,
I'm wondering if you can give me your thoughts.
I bought this mask and took it to a pool to try out before I went on vacation as you suggested.
I remember you talking about when you breathe in you should feel the air go across your eyes but not when you breathe out.
I did experience the air across my eyes even when breathing out so not sure why.
I tries 3 different masks on and different sizes and they were all the same.
I also remember you talking about the dangers of carbon dioxide.
After snorkeling for a bit I finished and went home.
Once there I started feeling a rapid and irregular heartbeat which I ended up going to emergency for.
Long story short I had to cancel my vacation last minute due to a change of medical condition that I wasn't covered for.
My question to you is:
Do you think I got carbon dioxide poisoning as this condition has never happened to me before?
I'm not much for coincidences so I would really appreciate your thoughts.
Hi I am 11 and using the full face snorkel mask and tbh you need a high lounge capacity cause it is hard to breath just need to take SUPER deep breaths for it to work!
yeah just be careful, if you are over breathing (hyper ventilating) and diving down that could lead to a blackout. I would recommend using a traditional mask and snorkel for you. Get good with it and you can be a free diver too! Thanks for watching and commenting
@@JoeOceanside hey it is me on a different account and yes I know how to use a traditional mask and snorkel i love freediving I am just using the full face mask cause of holidays
and no I got used to breathing deep and it feels ALOT more comferting also any good places for surface snorkling thank for replying
@@AsianBoy245 cool man, enjoy and stay safe
@@JoeOceanside thank you I am a boy
Taking deep dive, can you still breath, if so how long?
To clear water, just fill/drain and put mask back on to breath again?
Is there any problem if we sink with this mask
Great information but there is one thing you didn't discuss or make clear. When you go underwater (submerge yourself ) how long can or should you stay underwater before you must or should return to the surface for fresh air? Abviously this isn't a scuba setup with a fresh air tank, so you can't just stay underwater for as long as you want. Right?
So is that is the case how do you know when you need to or should come up? When it becomes difficult to breath or feel like yuo're not getting any air?
Please clarify.
Can u breath the whole time underwater or do u need to hold ur breath
Hey I know I am a little late to this but I am going snorkeling in Hawaii in 3 weeks and I want to video if so you have any tips for using the go pro, are you ever scared of it falling? Where is the best spot to put it? And does it ever get in the way??
I like to hold it with a selfie stick. If you are worried about dropping it they make a floating hand grip. I made a video about gopro Underwater accessories if you are interested in learning more
I’m a very good swimmer and swim 10 laps at my gym pool but snorkeling in the ocean is a completely different game. It’s like learning how to drive a stick shift. I say take your time and play around in a shallow beach.
Wanted to have this one 🙏🙏🥺
Try to use a traditional mask and snorkel if possible. Thanks for watching
@@JoeOceanside thank you ❤️
