Hi! I need to get hold of an old fashioned single lens mask or a high volume mask for my boyfriend - whenever he dives all of the "normal" masks he has ever tried (lots, believe me!) put pressure on the bridge of his nose - the only time he has found a mask that fits was when he first learnt on a really old mask. Does anyone know where I can find anything to fit the bill?
Most of the simple “Mike Nelson” oval masks today are made for small faces and are popular with photographer’s on female models. You can see the eyes better and the small puddle of water in the pocket of a clear low-volume mask doesn’t magnify the nostrils.
I was having the same problem, until I switched to a Mares Liquid Skin where the strap mounts to the skirt. Any mask that I tried that mounts to the frame put pressure on the nose bridge.
