I have tried many, many masks and i can't seem to find one that fits. The closest ones to fitting I have found were the Atomic Masks, however the subframe leaked out of the top corner of the mask skirt; and the frameless medium, which didn't leak but squeezed the bridge of my nose a little too much. Is there a subframe medium in the works? Any suggestion for masks?
 
The Mares mid X-Vision seems to suit people with smaller faces. I had a student have real issues with 4 different masks. She did not try the mid X-Vision cuz the LDS was out at the time, but she tried my AquaLung Quartz 2 backup mask and fell in love with it. She immediately ordered oen for herself.

I would try these two masks...
 
i feel your pain. I went through several masks, from generic to expensive, searching for that elusive no leak fit. I am now wearing a Mares Liquid Skin. On top of that, I use MLS available from www.diverightinscuba.com

That stopped the leaks cold.
 
I second the suggestion of the "bolt", I use the Mask Leak Sealant from Mike over at Dive Right In Scuba and it is great stuff.
I have a very small face and apparently I just smile too much while underwater.....
This stuff is great, solved my problems. And I have tried MANY masks...
 
i have a pretty small head and after a few tries have two masks that work well for me: aqua lung tyke and cressi lince. both are low profile masks. good luck finding a mask that fits.
 
Who doesnt love to smile underwater :D

Glad to hear you guys liked that stuff....Just something I whipped up in the Kitchen :wink:

Here is the link:

SOrry to those that previously bought this product with no directions, it now comes with directions....its not rocket science, but just put the product on the Mask and not your face and you wont have any mess...

If you just want a new mask, I would recommend the Seadive Seahawk:

I would be willing to send you one to try if you want? Just cover the shipping

Strange offers on your site,sealant from $10 for $ 10 :11: is that internet discount?

btw the mask does look a lot like the x-vision :confused:
 
Thor, I am not sure if the liqiuidskin you tried was the X-Vision or the Mid X-Vision. The Mid is good for smaller faces. Not sure whcih one you tried though...
 
TUSA has a small mask that I purchased for my wife. I dont remember the name of it, but you can ask the dive store, if they carry TUSA, to look up the small size or youth size.

EDIT: Oh now I remember, it's called the mini Kleio.
