I normally snorkel wearing contacts and have to stop as my mask starts to fill. A few weeks ago I investigated prescription masks and had decided to go for it and order a prescription mask this summer. Now I'm not sure whether to go for one of these. If they don't leak and give better visibility this could be the answer. Obviously prescription lenses isn't an option - even if it was my eyes require different correction.....decisions, decisions..... I just want to snorkel hassle free. Does anyone have any advice??   Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2015 1:00 pm JillyBean Joined: 17 Aug 2011 Posts: 101 Location: South West Wales Oh wow - that looks soooo good. Keep us posted to how good it is to use and I think me and hubby will each be having one of those Cheers Jill _________________ [url=https://www.TickerFactory.com/] [/url]   Posted: Fri Jun 12, 2015 10:26 pm shakira22 Joined: 12 Jun 2015 Posts: 7 it look so good   Posted: Mon Jun 15, 2015 8:53 pm JoanneLorna Joined: 22 Jun 2010 Posts: 547 Location: stafford Well guess what..... We went to B&Q after work tonight to buy a new toilet (we know how to live). Came home without a toilet but stopped off at Decathlon and purchased a pair of these superb masks. They feel fantastic on. Just need a little bit of Indian Ocean to try them out.

The masks are sitting quietly on the floor of the spare bedroom waiting for their first trip to the Maldives in October. Has anyone tried one out for real? Wondering whether or not to take normal mask and snorkel - just in case.

More later....... The snorkelling is great and the tribord masks are fantastic. They really do work. No steaming up, normal breathing and wide visibility. We're getting strange looks from the other guests but that might not be because of the masks. Importantly, I'm enjoying my snorkelling experience more than ever thanks to the new mask and I would definitely recommend one.

Apart from our tribord masks, we've now seen another 6 of them- 4 on this island and 2 from another boat at the manta trip. Still think they're fab. Never steam up and no need to pretreat. I think the only limitation we've both come across is that if you need to breathe deeply/quickly you can find your air supply limited. Not what you want in deep, choppy water but great for a gentle amble along the house reef. The one way valve system which allows you to breathe normally whilst keeping moist exhaled air away from your viewing area seems to be the reason for the limited supply of air. This is very slight mind, and I would certainly still recommend one to anyone interested in a new mask for their next Holibob.

My husband took his regular mask and snorkel with him in case he couldn't get along with the new full-face version. There was no need - his old mask and snorkel are now redundant. I'm not usually a fan of snorkelling as I couldn't get along with the traditional style mask/snorkel, but now I've had a go with my husband's I'll be purchasing one for myself. A brilliant invention! We saw quite a few other people with them while we were on Meeru. Well worth the money. _________________ [url=https://www.TickerFactory.com/] [/url]   Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2016 6:33 am Shanksy Joined: 28 Jun 2007 Posts: 1504 Location: GLASGOW karyn wrote: I bought my husband one for Christmas and we took it to Meeru last month - it's brilliant!

They are a fantastic mask. It made snorkelling so much easier and the knock on effect of this, is its also much more enjoyable. Get one, you won't regret it! _________________ [/url]   Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2016 2:01 pm Shanksy Joined: 28 Jun 2007 Posts: 1504 Location: GLASGOW Right I'm all kitted out got my snorkelling mask and in decathlon flippers were very reasonable. Cheaper for the lot than hiring whilst we are there, and safe in the knowledge that they all fit the flippers I bought are pretty lightweight too 6 weeks to go.... _________________ [url=https://www.TickerFactory.com/] [/url] Meeru; October 2007, February 2015, May 2016, September 2018   Posted: Thu Sep 28, 2017 5:26 am jamessmith8260 Joined: 28 Sep 2017 Posts: 6 Location: New York, NY, USA Nice information.
