Question Best Dive Masks for Guys with Beards

[CptMat]

These are working for me quite well:

Poseidon Black Line
Atomic Aquatic Venom, Venom Frameless and Frameless 2
ScubaPro Gorilla Frameless

I'm looking for suggestions on a quality mask that will seal well with a moderately trimmed beard. I'm 2 hours from the nearest dive shop and will have to mostly work from mail order for trying out masks. Thanks.

cressi has worked for me!

hollis m1. don't trim you mustache or cheek hairs. it makes them stand up and hold the silicone off your face. long whiskers lay flat.

get used to clearing your mask.

I have moustache and fairly well trimmed beard. I keep the beard short, but it's definitely between my skin and my mask seal.

I've been very happy with SCUBAPRO crystal Vu plus mask. It has a purge valve which I need because I'm a "nose-breather". Without the valve, I flood the mask on every exhale.

There you go, the best one is the one that fits, buy from Amazon and return the ones that don’t fit.

I use the scubapro D mask which works and they sell corrective lens’ that you can easily install.

Whatever you choose don’t get a clear skirt, way to much reflection on the inside of the lens in sunny conditions.

I have used Octomask and it does the job. but a bit heavy on pockets. It does not fog and it is a great value for me.

Can't recall the brand, but fit is critical. Bruce (rip) at Carib Inn bonaire spent like 20 minutes fitting a mask to my face. Ended up choosing a relatively cheap mask, like $35-40, I think Scubamax. I still clear often, but that's life with a beard.

I use a scubapro spectra mini because it fits my face. Using silicone to seal is critical for me.

xDeep Radical works well for me.

I clear without the beard as well
My problem is the hood, with no hood, no leaks
And I have like 5 hoods and 6-7 masks, tried all combos.
