    narrow face.......

    Seems the good lord made me with a very narrow face, although I never realized it until I started diving. I can't seem to find a mask that doesn't leak. (I just bought my 8th in two years) Someone out there has to have had the same problem and can suggest a good mask for us with narrow faces.

    What ya looking for?

    What kind of a mask are you looking for?
    I know of a 3-window frameless (supposedly the lowest volume 3-window on the market). Black silicone skirt.
    They're noticibly narrower than something like say, a ScubaPro frameless.

    I would suggest to look at Tusa. That have an entire selection of smaller faced divers. And how about kid's masks? They are MUCH smaller. But I know for sure that Tusa has some small masks. I live in Okinawa, Japan right now and the diver here are pretty "small" all around. They do have a bit flatter face, but I think that you could find something there.

    Me too...try either the Scubapro Tri-Vent (purge) or the Mares Target. Both work well, but the now use the non-purge Mares model. Ultra low volume.

    I find it almost impossible to get a good fit. I believe, but do not know, that it is because I have a bit of a narrow face. Anyhow, the best I've found is the Dacor Sport II.

    Thumbs up Try the Mares Opera

    I have the same problem and tried on the Mares Opera. No more leaky masks. It is super low-volume and the skirt is smaller too.

    I gave my sister my cheapy pro-blue mask (forget what model) that i got as part of a starter kit for classes. That seemed to be the only mask of about 6 that she tried that fit her narrow face.

    I have a narrow face also

    and use a Zeagle Ebon...low volume and fits nicely.

    I tried on a Mares Ventosa that was too narrow to even consider...maybe one of those will work for you.

    Thumbs up Aqua Lung Hawaii III

    I have a narrow face also. I use the Aqua Lung Hawaii III mask. It is a High volume mask with the side windows. Fits my face the best of all. If you have not had this one yet, try it. I have had mine for two years.


    Good Luck!!!
