I recently grew a beard (mainly to annoy my wife), and was a bit surprised by my first post-growth dive when water started slowly leaking in the bottom of my mask. I fiddled with it for a while with no success, and resigned myself to clearing the mask every minute or so through the dive.
Funnily enough, about 20 minutes into the dive the leaking stopped. Not sure why, perhaps the hairs got damp and soft enough that a seal could hold?
But I notice from their profile pictures that a lot of grizzled veterans on the board really are grizzled. How do you guys accommodate beards and masks?
