Masks for small faces

[bs63366]

I am looking at getting a mask for my girl friend. The problem is that she has a small face and that most masks that I have had her try on are too big for her. What are some ideas that you guys have that might work for her? Thanks for all the help in advance.

Try the smaller sized Atomic Frameless, which comes in two sizes. (Regular and Medium, I believe)

If her face is VERY small you can try a kid's sized mask. There are several top quality kids masks available.

Have a search in the asian destinations-specific forums, it's a common issue

recommend the cressi lince...i sell them 3-1 to any mask in the shop (women can never find a mask that fits them well...and this one does)!

Since we're recommending specific masks, I use an Atomic Aquatics frameless, they also make them in a smaller size - but depends if you need a small fit (in which case maybe ok) or a small nose pocket (not okay)

Thanks for the responses. And Tortuga68 I am looking for a smaller fit, not just the nose piece.

Dive Rite E - 115 Pocket Mask - a low volume, comfortable, inexpensive ($50 appx.) mask. It is black, however, and may not appeal to her fashion sense.

My 10 year old son uses a Cressi Big Eye and it fits great.

I had the same problem in my search for a mask that fits and lots of brands are too big for my face! Finally managed to find the Oceanic Ion which fits nicely. Tried on the Scubapro Spectra recently and that feels like a fit too. Still deciding whether to get a second mask. Hope this is helpful in your search!

The other half also has trouble finding a mask to fit. She uses Tusa Liberator Plus. We've been told by a number of dive shops that that is the one that fits when all else fails!

She's fanatic to trying to find an alternative, just so she's not just hooked to one model. Tries on anything she can. Already making notes of suggestions here!
