Mask for large noses???

[securitydiver]

Greetings from Afghanistan. I would first like to introduce myself since this is my first post on the site. I am a newly certified diver and am already planning my next dive trip, cant wait.

Anyway, I am in need of a mask that is comfortable and seals well for people that have large noses. I have been endowed with a very long Italian nose and am already finding it difficult to find a comfortable mask that will actually seal properly. During my certification my nose was in constant pain and had to clear my mask every 3-5 minutes or more. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance for your time and comments/recommendations...

Deep See Outlook 2 has a large nose pocket. My son had the problems as you and this mask worked great for him.

My friend has a hard time finding a mask that fits his nose; he uses an "old fashioned" one like this:

Cost is about $15 - $20 USD.

I have been using the Mares X-vision and the Demon and the both work well for me.

I have the same problem, and yesterday I tried the Deep See Omni 4 window mask. It's now discontinued, but it worked well for me. I also have a narrow face, and the Tusa Liberator was killing me. I just ordered the Omni 2 (a current model) for a whopping $25, and I'll get it tomorrow. It seems to be the same overall shape as the Omni 4. If that doesn't work, I may try the X Vision Mid or the new MicroMask, but the MicroMask may have the same problem with the small nose pocket.

The Tusa Hyperdry works for me. So does the Oceanic Fisheye.

I received the Deep See Omni today. It's less than $25 at LeisurePro and fits like a charm. The nose pocket is really soft, so even if it rides up, it's frameless, and still feels okay. Plus, I have a narrow face, and it fits perfectly.
