Completely different video that contains the same basic info, but doesn't go into as much detail.
This is the best and the most informative video I have seen out of hundreds on CZcams! Not a single one comes close to this!
He is SO correct. All the problems that he is issuing happened to me. Pour suction in the inner lip and having bubbles flicking up my mask making water leak in constantly. Hate it!
Excellent presentation! Can't wait to shave off my mask 🤣
agreed
Hope you are enjoying all the new stuff out now.
Agreed
I've not bought these since I took a dive course as a PE in college. You got it Exact! Love it
I almost skipped past this video as I wasn't aware there were so many facets to the process of selecting and maintaining a mask. Thank you for remarkable depth of knowledge and your willingness to share it. Have a great day.
Awesome video! After watching this I’m thoroughly convinced it’s a better idea to go to an actual dive shop rather than going on Amazon
awesome review man, very informative and with a smooth sense of humor. thanks to this, I can spend wisely on the right mask. more power
Thank you for this EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE video! You prevented me from buying cheap and possibly awful Snorkel Sets as Xmas gifts. Which in turn could have ruined our Xmas trip to Hawaii, as ALL of us were looking forward to many hours of snorkeling. We all went to a local Dive Shop in Seattle to get fitted for masks.
Glad to hear that this was helpful for you! Have a great time in Hawaii!
Love the video, every professional dive shop will say the same, ultimately most masks will work with most people, but supporting your local dive shop is a greatv way to start out.
Great video. Answers a lot of basics and doesn't spend time plugging a bunch of masks from any specific company.
I started diving in 1967. My preferred mask was a US Divers oval type with a center bottom purge valve, it fit well. I replaced it a few times due to hardening, The purge valve never gave me a problem.
My current mask is silicone without a purge valve. I think this video is spot on.
Thank you. One of the best presentations.
I enjoyed this video so much. Exactly the information I was looking for as a newbie.
Same!

Excellent, very professional, in the past I bought a lot of masks, none of them were good... Now, after watching this video, I believe I will buy the correct one. Cheers from Slovenia!
Glad it helped!

Superb tutorial. Thorough and thoughtful.
CT034 Thank you
Bought a mask willy nilly at some store to snorkel, then about 3 months the glass shattered, bought another one but at a proper scuba store and properly fitted to my face it was lifechanging how comfortable it was and turned snorkeling so enjoyable.
Wow!!! How incredibly helpful. And you have a nice presence on camera ~
Thanks alot for this, So informative and professional.
Fantastic video!! Thank you so much this helps so so much!
👌☺️ I have relocated to the Philippines from the UK and came here just before the "lockdowns" so trying to find the right mask for me has been a nightmare!... I have purchased 4 or 5 already and although some fit "ok" none are perfect!... I am doing some scuba, snorkelling and free diving so of course also have different needs for each one... I shall certainly rewatch this video when I buy my next one for a recap so many useful tips & info... thanks again great work & content! 👌☺️👏👏👏 keep up the great work...
Thank you for the information very helpful prior to the vacation.
Great video. Didnt know a lot of this stuff. Very helpful when I get a new mask..that fits properly.
Super informative and helpful video!!! Thank you!!!

this is very informative video for beginners like me and I personally think the speaker in the video is really good at speaking. easy but thorough to understand.
Very kind of you to say. More to come soon. Thanks for watching. Freddy
Excellent video. You just earned yourself a new subscriber
Just wonderful. Thank you.
Really enjoyed your video. Thanks for the information.
An extraordinary scuba video .thank u so much .
Bought a US Divers mask, silicone, with a purge valve - 31 years ago and it still works fine. Purge valve if you keep it clean no worries. Only issue I had is the stainless band became loose and ingressed water. A large nylon cable tie sorted that 20 yrs ago.
I bought us divers the other day and tried it in the river. Hope they would last 20 yrs like yours. 😁
wow, really helpful!
Excellent info!
Super informative. Now I feel like when I go buy a mask, later this week, I at least have a clue. Thanks for taking the time!
Thank you Janis. Thank you for watching and participating. Freddy
Very informative thank you.
very helpful without plugging makes and models professionally presented many thanks
You did great and informed me the best!!!
I recently purchased a TUSA Ceos, black skit after speaking with a friend who is a dive master, for both my wife and myself and they are great.. Very comfortable and zero leaks so far.. Great view also.. Didn't want another snorkel excursion ruined by crappy rental gear, and wanted something of quality enough to scube dive with.
Also and excellent mask. Fits comfortable and many people choose it blindly when they have been fit blindly as their most comfortable choice. Thanks for sharing. Freddy
thank you so much for this
Thank you very much! Cheers from Norway.
Wow, I learned a lot. Thank you! Very helpful video!
It is a privilege and an honor to help. I love the dive community. Hope you find the right one. Freddy
I'm getting into diving. GREAT video sir. LOTS of helpful, useful information.
Dude, Awesome Job!!!!!! whomever gave you a thumbs down is obviously blind and deaf..
The best video, the best infos, thank you!
Super informative. Cheers
Thanks! Very informative!
Thank you all for your feedback. We truly appreciate your interest and enthusiasm.
Now that we are live at www.Leviathanscuba.com , we will be hard at work engaging with you fine folks on CZcams and creating new content for you all to enjoy.
Please keep the comments coming. We are reading them all.
Thanks Again.
Leviathan Scuba Team
Thanks a lot. Big help.
Good video. Thinking about getting into scuba. Helped a lot. Thanks!
It is Passion in Motion. Odd at first because us humans aren't supposed to breathe underwater. But when you get used to it, wow what an awesome experience. Freddy
Food grade silicon on the mask lip works for minor leaks. High volume masks can pressurize on your face. Clear silicon skirts tend to go yellowy with age.
this is so useful. thank you very much
As always great information.
Thanks Rick!
Your CZcams channel is cool and awesome keep up the good work and done
Subbed I like your videos you get right down to the it No BS
Great video! 👍
Thank you for the video. Informative ... learned the importance of the defogger vs. soap, the silicon as preferred material, don't use Vaseline around silicon, buying a good fitting\good quality mask is paramount for a good snorkeling experience, not to tight fit not loose either, etc etc. BUT would have been good to have your comments in the FULL FACE MASK and the advantages/disadvantages over the traditional mask.
Thanks John for the suggestion. There are 2 different types of full face masks - 1 for snorkeling and another for diving. We have just finished testing several different full face snorkeling masks and are working on a review, which should be out some time in the fall. A little spoiler alert - we liked the Ocean Reef Aria as it preformed the best with no breathing restrictions, no fogging issues, comfortable straps, great fit and has optic options for people who wear glasses. These masks are available on our website now 5280scuba.com/product/aria-full-face-snorkel-mask
Thank you for the great video
My pleasure Cloud Guru. Thats why we do these, to help people. Thanks for watching. Freddy
Good information for a beginner!
Thank you what great information
What kind of shaving cream you use for shaving the mask? :)
Excellent video!!!
very good thankyou i learnt alot
Excellent video
habiba
amazing , thank you
Really good video. My old faithful broke. I have not found a mask that fits me in the last 10 years. So looking forward to finding a good one. Cheers.
Great video
Thank you very much!! the way you show the double seal fits in your face. today I discover my mask is leaking. I will get a new one
It is fairly low volume and made from silicone and tempered glass, it sticks pleasantly to your face without the strap attached and you like the field of view. It's either black or clear as per visual preference. That's it.
Every year I feel insanely lucky that the $30 U.S. Divers kit I bought three years ago ha worked so well for me. The mask is pretty much like the clear one he was holding for most of the vid.
great video sr thank you!
We hope it helps Anderson. Thanks for watching. Freddy
If youtube allows me to double my thumbs up, I did it already. thanks for this!!
Cool video! Where's the 500 000 views? It deserves more than that!
Thanks Daruhor! We are well on our way - with your help we will be there soon!
thank you for this video!
Thanks for watching. More to come soon. Freddy
Very informative but I wish you would have shown some of the defog products

I got a custom designed mask from SeaVision at my scuba school, with color correction, best mask ever.
We work with SeaVision quite often for prescription masks. They really do a great job!
