It's a pain between my eyebrows, just got back from barbados the mask here I used from the padi dive centre also gave me pain thereDifficult to tell from that photo, but it looks like a Cressi Eyes Evolution. Can you elaborate on your "hurt my face" comment? You may have the mask strap adjusted too tightly.
Tried adjusting the mask , equalising the mask but still caused me painIt's a pain between my eyebrows, just got back from barbados the mask here I used from the padi dive centre also gave me pain there
Are you sure you don't have a sinus blockage? My son gets those, with pain in that area. At what point(s) during the dives did you feel the pain?It's a pain between my eyebrows, just got back from barbados the mask here I used from the padi dive centre also gave me pain there
I believe you are right. I saw the Matrix "freediving" mask after I posted and realized I was mistaken. Cheers!I think it’s this one:
I get the pain from about 3 meters down,Are you sure you don't have a sinus blockage? My son gets those, with pain in that area. At what point(s) during the dives did you feel the pain?
I don't believe there is any reason the rental mask would make a difference for a sinus blockage, but my son does not always get pain, so perhaps it was a coincidence with you for that one rental mask?
Sounds somewhat similar to my son's sinus issue, which is never an issue on land, and only started to be an issue for him after he had already made almost 100 dives. Hopefully your issue is just the mask -- though not sure I understand why that would be the case if you are equalizing the mask interior as you descend. If you keep having pain, you should consider seeing an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist.I get the pain from about 3 meters down,
