Anyone have any ideas or suggestions for us. My daughter loves to snorkel.. is comfortable in the water and swims... but we CANNOT find a mask to fit her face. We have taken her to the LDS, tried ones from wal-mart, internet... etc. We are heading to Mexico again in a few weeks and would really love to have a mask that fits her. She is just TINY! ( I am NOT tiny but still have a narrow enough face to wear a child's mask). She is barely 30 pounds (5 1/2 years old) ... just a punkin'.. but loves to be in the water. Thanks so much for any suggestions!
 
I had the same problem with my daughter last year when she was 4. I finally found a set by U.S. Divers that fit her at one of the LDS in our area. I had to change the snorkle because it was too big for her mouth. Check for this brand in your area.
Good Luck
 
I saw some that might work at Sports Authority. They have kid-sized sets from Mares, US Divers etc.

Do you know any more specifics other than us divers? I will check around and see what I can find. Thanks!
 
My 5 year old daughter wears an Oceanic Hana, fits perfectly. Also a good idea, regardless of which mask you choose, to get a neoprene strap. They will save your child some hair.

Thanks! We will look into that one... and yes, she has the neoprene strap... goodness... otherwise I think she would be bald pulling it on and off (she even likes to wear it in the tub!). So funny gets in 5 inches of water and just lays face down with her mask and snorkel....... STRANGE kid! :)
