The best mask is the one that fits your face best.

I can't recommend a mask to a stranger. We all have different shaped faces.

Do you have the opportunity to try on several to choose what you like?

My favorite mask is the one pictured on my profile. It only fits a handful of people well. Others entirely hate it and it floods constantly.

Xvision fits some people very well. If you are using it correctly and it leaks you have a slightly unusual face.

Perhaps try a mask with less skirt?

Guessing and ordering online it will be impossible to be sure it will fit.

No local divers you can ask to borrow a mask from?

How does it leak? Too tight? Not blowing out air to equalize the mask space? Changing your mouth shape? Smiling?

Depth does not change mask fit if done correctly.

You have to try them on. That's the only way. Every face is different. I finally admitted that to myself and spent time shopping in stores, and even waiting for a certain mask to be back in stock, to find one that actually fits my face. It is SO worth it. I can move my face muscles, exhale through my nose, and my mask still doesn't leak at depth.

Otherwise, maybe buy a few online from a single source, try them all at home, and keep the best fitting one, UNTIL you can get to a store to properly fit yourself for a mask.

Try the Mako Mini which is very inexpensive and fits both my wife's thinner face and my wider, more rounded face equally well. In addition, if you try it and don't like it, you can return it for full refund. You won't find many deals like that. I was using a Hollis M4 mask before I bought the Mako, and now the Hollis' roles is as a backup.,

As @northernone said find one that fits your face. Mrs Flush had a hell of a time finding one that didn't leak on her. She finally found one that didn't and it was a very top end mask money wise. Funny enough though it leaked like a sieve on me and my $25 Genesis fits me like a glove. Price has no bearing on proper fit.
