AGA Nose block

[Scubamedicjoe]

can someone tell me how to adjust same : found this but dont see them. and didnt find it in the manaul:
The nose block on the AGA has three slots around the base- you can adjust the position up or down as needed to block your nose.

To equalize- push up on the chin of the mask till the nose block actually contacts your nose. The nose block is positioned correctly when it does not touch your nose with the mask in normal position and it just barely contacts your nose when you push up.
pictures would be great.

There's a curved wire just below your nose when wearing the mask- there should be a black rubber block mounted to it that has a V shape at the top.

There are 3 grooves around the base of the black rubber piece that fir the curved wire- this gives you a range of adjustment up and down for different sized faces/noses.

That is assuming the previous owner of the mask did not remove the nose block.

That's why I said "should be".

I've got a couple of divers on the team that don't like them so they have a habit of taking them out- then they end up in pocket of whoever's standing nearby at the time.

Here is a pic of a nose block in the middle position. If you look close you can see the origin of the wire to hold it in place as well as the other slots. As an aside, if you poke hole in the "fins" where you like it set, you can put it in place and with small zap straps on the back side of the wire secure it to prevent you from losing your nose block during bailout exercises

If the nose block does not move far enough to the nose, you can adhear neoprene to it with wet suit glue so it reachs your nose when you push in the chin piece.
Hope this helps

Thats what we do as well, zip ties...At 9 bucks a piece you find ways to keep em in place !!!!

On the front of the aga is a flat screw on plate that is used for mics etc. On the top of this plate is a tab. The tab can be removed with side cutters. This alows the nose piece to be pushed a little further back to the nose.
Hope this helps
