IST Full Face Mask - Rubber

Mary:

Would this mask work for a snorkeler? Please be specific. My husband can not find a mask that doesnt leak, because of grooves in his face.

Although this will work with a snorkel it is not designed for that and may be a little cumbersome.

Bobbi:

Im unable to scuba dive because Ive had issues trying to use the traditional mouth regulator for breathing. Do those somehow attach to this mask or does it require a special regulator? Asking because for vacations where we rent gear it would be ideal to only have to take along the mask so that I could enjoy diving with my husband...

Bob (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com) :

This mask is designed for use with the regulator of your choosing. Very few resorts or dive shops are going to attach their regulator to your full face mask. On a safety note, while this will allow you to dive without the regulator mouthpiece in your mouth, it is still HIGHLY recommended the user be able to dive with a traditional regulator mouthpiece. In the event of an Out Of Air Emergency where you''d have to use another diver''s safe second, if you are unable to breath from a normal second stage you''d be placing yourself and your buddy in severe danger.
