FAQs
How do I ensure a good seal with the full-face mask?
Adjust the straps so the silicone skirt is snug against your face without being uncomfortably tight. Ensure there is no hair or facial hair caught between the skirt and your skin. Perform a small suction test by inhaling gently with the mask on before entering the water.
Is this mask suitable for beginners?
Yes, the full-face design and dry snorkel system make it very beginner-friendly, as it simplifies breathing and prevents water entry.
Can I use this mask for scuba diving?
No, this mask is specifically designed for surface snorkelling. It is not suitable for scuba diving due to pressure differences and breathing requirements underwater.
How do I clean the polycarbonate lens?
Rinse the lens with fresh water. If needed, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive materials or cleaners that could scratch the lens.
What is the purpose of the lateral ventilation system?
The lateral ventilation system is designed to draw fresh air in from the sides and expel exhaled CO2, improving airflow and reducing the buildup of CO2 inside the mask for safer breathing.
How do I store the mask to protect it?
It is best to store the mask in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the provided mesh bag or a protective case will prevent scratches on the lens and damage to the silicone skirt.
Will the dry snorkel float keep all water out in rough conditions?
The dry snorkel is designed to prevent splashes and waves from entering. While highly effective, in very rough conditions or if fully submerged, some water might still enter, which the mask's design aims to manage.
Troubleshooting
Mask fogs up during use.
Ensure the inside of the lens is clean. A small amount of anti-fog solution can be applied and rinsed before use. Check that the mask is sealed properly to your face.
Water leaks into the mask.
Readjust the straps to ensure a snug, even fit. Make sure facial hair is not interfering with the silicone skirt's seal. Check for any debris on the skirt.
Difficulty breathing or feeling of restricted airflow.
Ensure the dry snorkel top is not submerged or blocked by debris. Check that the mask is not too tight, which could affect airflow. Ensure the internal breathing channels are clear.
Snorkel float valve sticks.
Rinse the snorkel thoroughly with fresh water, paying attention to the area where the float valve is located. Ensure no salt crystals or sand are obstructing its movement.
