Is the mask good for scuba diving as well?

I cannot say 100%, but it worked well for free diving... good mask for the $

Not the best. For the occasional scuba afficianado, not bad. For the real diver, spring for a better mask. Not the most comfortable however. Keep smiling.

We do not scuba but we snuba dive at about 20 ft down and have never had any problems. We each have one and have had them for over a year. Living in Florida they get alot of use.

I'm sure it would be fine, however I would prefer the Gopro Pole for scuba diving. I used it and had great results especially when reaching a good distance for close up shots of fish and other sea life your not supposed to get close to or won't allow you. The pole is well constructed and in my opinion harder to lose. It can be challenging with the older model Gopro due to having to reach for the button every time you want to start or stop recording. My dive buddy used it on our second dive and he has the gopro 3 and had amazing video, and was able to get close to corral, fish, ect. Tip: invest in a red filter, a world of difference.

The mask is no different from any other scuba mask except for the attachment point for the GoPro. I used it to snorkel with whale sharks a few weeks ago. A snorkel will attach to the strap on either side.I love this mask. Comfortable and much easier than trying to hold the cam in your hand. You DO have to be cognizant of moving your head too quickly if you want a good quality video, but you're going to have to edit footage anyway.

Blocks the smell very well. I keep the mask in a sealed ziploc bag between uses as carbon filters whether you are wearing it or not. I am in China (watch the news about the smog here) and I can tell you that it works well.

They do pair well! I actually bought this face protection and those goggles. Put the face mask on first, then the goggles. You'll feel the mask pressed on by the goggles, but you get used to it and it's not a big problem. The goggles prevent you from looking down a bit and the mask does that too. Over all, a good seal and comfortable set with the goggles and this mask.

The mask uses velcro, so you can adjust it for the best fit. Much more comfortable for me than the simple elastic ones that felt like they were squeezing my skull.

If you like diving and enjoying the view under the water just for plesure the mask is perfect as it is light leaving your hands free . If you catch fish with spheres i'd recomend a base on the sphere . The pole is perfect for selfies under the water or placed hard to reach :)

This mask is only for swimmers who do laps in indoor pools. It doesn't represent a mask for snorkeling. I do a lot of snorkeling (like Austrailia, Belize, Thailand) and any good quality snorkel mask set will do. They almost always go together: the mask and snorkel. If you're buying them separate, they probably aren't what you are looking for. If you already have a snorkel, find a mask that completely covers the nose. Nothing else will work.

I believe it will work fine for those applications. I have a beard, and so it doesn't seal as well against my face, but other than that, I love this mask.

That's a good question. I don't believe that it's water tight. So, in the short term, you could use it for scuba diving, but it would likely get water inside and possibly rust or otherwise not last very long after. That said, getting some great shots underwater might be worth the cost of the item.

Hi, I use my mask for dust mostly,, It does have a charcoal filter in there so it may do pretty good , if the stink isn't too bad..

The filter might but the mask WILL NOT. It's a partial face mask. I would not expose myself with anything less than a Full coverage mask - because I am inexperienced in biological isolation techniques and practices. All you people out there who are panicking and thinking that you should be buying this stuff, you are wasting your time without proper instruction in how to utilize and maintain your equipment. Improper, inadequate, or non-existent training is as good as no mask at all.

This is a good mask, but everybody's face is different. If you have tried Cressi Masks in the past and they fit well I'd say you will be fine with this one. If you're not familiar with masks in general you should go to a dive shop and try on a few. They will help you get the right fit.

Im not a professional diver, bit used it for a Jamaca vacation and it worked well. And will be taking it again! Thanks for the question!

i thought the underwater per was great, although sometimes it was hard to see through my mask, which was my fault because of water leaking in my mask. of course there is a blue haze because you are under water. to get rid of that i think you need a more expensive camera with filter capabilities. for the price i think it works great!

No, All dive masks and goggles will leak, some are just drier than others. Trying to find a mask or set of goggles that fit your face can be very tough for some people. Try going to a well stocked dive store and ask an associate to help you find a mask that fits. You should be able to find a mask that will remain on your face due to a slight vacuum that you will create by inhaling though your nose. You should be able to lean over looking down at the ground and the mask should not fall off. Good luck and I hope this helps.

The difference is that with the wipers you can defog the mask anytime under water, but the less you have to do it the better, so I always defog it before dives.
