Masks for Small Faces?

[CompuDude]

Any recommendations for masks for those with tiny faces? My wife has a very small face, literally has to wear child's size hats and glasses. I've only seen a couple good small masks out there, and only one that we found fit fairly well but was hideous, and expensive, too (relatively). (The Mares X-Stream Mask... black skirt is fine, but the forest green plastic?)

Any thoughts?

I too am blessed with the child-sized glasses issue! LOL! Makes for cheaper glasses for sure!
The only mask that would fit me at my LDS was the Tusa Visio, I really like it- Fits great, leaks a bit when I smile though!

Try US Divers' Look mask. Comes in different colors and also takes prescription inserts if that is an issue.

My sister has a very small face and had never been able to find a mask to fit her.

That was until the MARES X-Vision Mid. Fit her perfectly and she couldn't stop talking about how much she loved it.

Hope this helps.

The Cressi Sirenetta may be worth a look. I believe it is the smallest mask in their line. I have the all-clear one and really enjoy it. Good luck on your search.

Oceanic Shadow Mini and Cressi-Sub Lince are the two masks that fit my wife. Best of luck, we know how hard it can be.

Hi,

I too would recommend the Oceanic Shadow Mini and Cressi-Sub Lince but she would also be able to try on some freediving or spear fishing masks. You could look at these masks too:

Btw, I have a Cressi-Sub Lince in clear with black hightlights and a spare picasso Nulla mask with less then 10 dives each for sale if you are interested.

Akona makes some good small kid's masks with a black skirt.

Trident makes a frameless mask, others do as well, this worked well for my wifes small face. It has no rigid structure (frameless=all silicone) so it shapes nicely.

I have to throw another vote in for the Mares X-Vision Mid.
