I had a mask and snorkel combo about 60 years ago. It was a birthday gift while we were staying at Cap Estelle on the Med, near Nice. It has the exact same mechinism, for the snorkel, so when you went under at ping pong ball stopped the water from comming in. It was great.
Are you sure it was 60 years ago?
@@terbesta3122 I'm thinking the same thing. This guy might be an old guy who got modern equipment or just cappin
@@Lukxvsp I think what he meant was 6 years ago
It was 60 years ago my elder brother had one. I’m sure they were taken off the market for safety reasons. I remember trying it on, it stank of rubber 😂
You no what? You have just put out the most sensible video on these masks... well done!
I watched this after i bought one..
I feel badass..
Me to
Same lmao
Same
Same lol
O
I have been using this mask for last couple of years and I am still alive. At times I’ve been in the water for hours, exploring marine life along the coastline, no co2 poisoning and no passing out. The only thing I could ask for is the rubber nose for eaqualizing.
For you but me I almost died of it
Did you just stay close to the top of water or did you go deep?
@@udontoweme5127 how, what went wrong?
@@garryclarke3808 they are probably dead now.
@@udontoweme5127i have been using these ever since i was a kid and i havent had any issues at all
This mask isn't made for deep diving or diving at all. it's mostly made for snorkeling *like cruising on top of the water* i have it for 2 days now and its great but it's NOT for deep diving. i only use this mask to see whats up on the ocean floor. But still, be careful what ya do and always have someone with ya
I hope everyone can be aware of this.
Nik, can you swim with it. I mean freestyle swimming. Thanks.
@@VictorRamirezCostaRica you can, but you can't dive lile 2 meters underwater
If you do freestyle swimming with 3/4 (75%) your capacity on the surface of the water with this mask on, you cannot finish 3/4 swimming pool without stopping and taking off the mask to get Oxygen from the air.
VietFiddle b
I got this mask 2 years ago. It's still in brand new quality and it works absolutely fine. That's it. No more to tell.
So you've never used it
@@bourky93 I did use it. Pretty often too. Quality is still good and no problems
@@paladin_plunder9906 ... Then it's not brand new quality....
@@bourky93 its "quality". Doesn't mean it is actually new
It’s nice to see a non sponsored honest review from a professional swimmer. Thanks !
I watched this after I bought...
Lmao so did I 😂😂
You are a savagr
SUPERSLIKEE SAME😂👌🏻
Same
Same lol
Why am I watching these videos and there’s no sea where I live in 😂
Is there a _pool?_
Rebecca luis yeah
I have a pool

Used only once just for
5 Mintues & put my Regular Mask on and used the old style for the vacation
For its hard to breathe with a full face mask for some reason
Had one, lost the snorkel on the first day of use. Still like the two part ones more. Also, even the smallest mask did not make a seal around my nose so the upper part gets fogged up all the time.
I got a full face snorkel mask that you can freedive with thanks to a sealed rubber pocket around the nose. Its from Body Glove. Besides that and the Sea O2, which, like the Body Glove full face mask, has a sealed rubber pocket around the nose to allow for head equalization when diving, most other full face snorkel masks, including the Triboroid that started it all back in like 2014, are designed only for the surface and just a few feet deep, just like swimming goggles and so you can't equalize the preassure in your head when diving with most of these other full face masks.
thanks for the review really helped
I found it hard to dive down because it is full of air it's like a float
They are great for ameatur snorkelers. I don't know many amateurs who would go snorkelling for more than 30 mins at a time! I took mine to the Maldives and its was great.
There are actually a lot of amateurs who would go for more than an hour. It depends on physical condition
Hurlanator you need to get out more chap!
Enjoyed the whistle when he showed the flow if air!! Haha...nice!
Thanks for saving me the hassle of purchasing then finding out I can't free dive after.
You mean you can't freedive with the mask on.
That's the problem, if you like freediving, you saved money.
I'm an experienced swimmer, I have a standard mask/snorkel and this full face mask from Tribord. I used this a lot of times: never got clogged/blurry, I never had headaches or felt dizzy. I really don't understand how I could get poisoned since I can breath normally. This mask is amazing and it is very clear to see, in rivers or sea. Maybe people bought cheap models with a different design or didn't adjust them properly and got in panic, really wanted to understand the real cause of those deaths using this kind of mask...
Vanessa Curcio you can't even equalise with this mask
The King Come on, this is for snorkel on the surface, not diving! I never used it for diving...this is the problem maybe, people use it incorrectly.
Vanessa Curcio many people who snorkel casually like to dive
The King for that, simply don't use this kind of mask! The brain has many uses, a pity that for some is used for natural selection...
Vanessa Curcio obviously but in this case there is no reason to use this mask over a regural one since it has less uses and it's less safe for some people
I just bought one. As a starter mask. I used the traditional masks for my very time and I was having a lot of issues breathing took me a while to get use to it. I'm going with the full mask but not planning to diving down far just below the surface till I get better at this. Do you think that would be good to learn with???
Who snorkals without diving down? It's the best parttt
True
Gabriel Acosta u can hold ur breath and there will be no water in the mask
It's hard to swim down
Ikr
This one so cool, the shark looks, kids love it
ua-cam.com/video/rNg6eb0ym4I/v-deo.html
One thing I also discovered when using one of these is that you can’t tilt your head back to look up and breathe! (Should be obvious I know)
I was in the sea and had entered the water off of a boat (just dropped in) When I came to exit the water, every time I tilted my head back to look up at people in the boat and find the steps, the mask suddenly would get sucked to my face. I did panic a little at first but soon realised it was because the little ball rolls to the end of the breather tube and seals it off. (This was with my head and the breather tube out of the water by the way) Very disconcerting if you’re not expecting it. Great masks though.
Actually that's not strictly accurate. With the old goggle and breather tube type of snorkeling kit you could just push the tube out of your mouth and breath normally if it was the type with a ball seal or just breathe normally if not. I'm obviously not talking about when you're actually floating in the water here but when exiting the water on a high sided boat.Once I got used to that effect it wasn't an issue and I found the mask ok although I must admit like you I actually prefer the old type (with no ball seal). Thank you for the reply though.
I found this absolutely useful thank you for making this video I was very hesitant to buy this before this video thank you
Bought a full mask in philippines last year and i was blown away, its a revolution for snorkeling. The experience is surreal cause for the first time you see 100% underwater.

Just bought the new model with flexible nose piece to allow for pressure equalization. Can't wait to test it!
I experienced the issue with this type mask. Last year in Hawaii, casually snorkeling around a reef. I realized that it was getting harder and harder to breathe. As I realized what was happening, I rolled over to do a back float and I pulled the mask off. I was gasping for breath. It took me a minute to get back to normal. It was a very weird experience. There was no water in the mask but it felt like I had very, very little oxygen but instead was just rebreathing CO2. It was the strangest situation as the top of the snorkel was never underwater but it might as well have been while I tried to get fresh air.
I think you need to fix the two hole thing in the mask
@@mrgenius7426
I think so too
Because there is a possibility that the sea salt has closed the two holes.
Happened here too.love the mask but need to be careful. I would not recommend for new swimmers.
My husband and I bought these masks and within 30 mins I felt that my lungs were going to burst!! Then my husband felt the same way. As an engineering expert my husband came home and did some research regarding these full face masks. He felt it was the design and the way they were manufactured. The masks ended up in the trash can!!! Four weeks ago while on a cruise we witnessed a little boy struggling in the water. He was helped back onto the boat. He told his father that he couldn’t breath through the mask and that he felt strange. His dad told him to put the mask back on. We had to intervene and explained to his dad about the reports on these masks! I will speak up even if people don’t like it!!!
@@lynnecoles7276 : buy a proper full face mask. Aria ocean reef and Ninja Mask for example. but they're not cheap..
This is great advice, love it! I wish we had watched this before we started out!
Great video i subscribed and i really like your breath holding skills (edit) thank you for the heart
Thanks :)
I wanted this video for so long
Got 2 of these. I love it.
How do people surface from the water and their hair looks so neat and slick? I always look like my hair is eating up my face
You have to tilt your head up before your reach the surface
Just a thought: do you think that it is possible that death due to this mask could be due to the ball not coming back in place ( the safety ball that prevents breathing when the mask is under water) and the person not being able to breath when back up, and the struggle to get the mask off to breathe could be the actual cause?
that is a gnarly pool you guys are getting to swim in..i love it!
Is there a full free dive mask you recommend?
There's no such mask as a full freedive mask.
How could you say, “Breath normally.” I have one of these and I wondered why it was so hard to breath through, that’s why I came to this video.
I have it too! Thanks for the review!
you are the second guy to mention that when you dive with it the mask puts pressure/vacuum on your face. Good information.
95% Of people didn’t watch the video long enough to catch the part where there are check valves to provide a constant refreshing of air
Yes, but not enough to cancel our the amour of Co2 that builds up over time.
Good Lord that clicking noise in the background of the video drove me crazy.
So if u free dive deep enough you will drown due to running out of the saved air already in the mask?
really nice video, what mask would you suggest for freediving? to be able te equilise pressure and to see wide
God I love it when the people in the comments try to be experts yet have never even tested the mask themselves.
But it’s true lol
I dont like those because you cant equalize
They are not made for diving down
It's made for snorkeling not for diving though. :)
Eunice Grace I know but I like to dive when im snorkeling
You should still be able to equalize, just use a different method than the valsalva maneuver. I doubt you could go down very far with that mask though.
Christian Wedoy That's why I mostly stick to the traditional mask and snorkel. I won't mind a full face mask at all if its good quality and I use it for surface snorkeling.
Could you not equalize by breathing through the nose to break the face seal?
I kept asking in the retail outlets if you could "Valsalva" with it but none of the sports shops knew what I was talking about ! So if you cannot valsalva then you cannot equalise the pressure in your eustachian tube and you can get a very bad headache if you leave the surface. The Valsalva maneuver or Valsalva manoeuvre is performed by moderately forceful attempted exhalation against a closed airway, usually done by closing one's mouth, pinching one's nose shut while pressing out as if blowing up a balloon. Wikipedia
I love this thing for free diving and everything, I took it to Hawaii and dove down to see turtles and reefs, I have no problems with it and I like it more than normal masks.
How do you freedive without equalizing?
@@manurindt3091 its skill learn how and you good to go
i found that a new design mask improved these shortcomings
Which is??
Do share!
He made this comment a year ago, don't get your hopes up.
Hi I wanted to ask that when you first used that diving mask underwater for the first time you still had to breathe even thoug it was snorkeling underwater
If someone would make a full face mask with a rubber piece at the nose so you could equalize, then that would be perfect!
Nice review
Thanks
Only for very competent swimmers as trying to get off in a panic could add to any danger
are there free diving masks? like small face mounted air canisters?
I snorkel with this kind of mask and I haven’t had any problems yet I don’t deep dive with it I snorkel only
I also reviewed this.. It s fine but not as good as it s described here.
you made sound effects while making the video....jajaja nice 👍
1. Whats the name of the mask you use for scuba diving, which is full frame
2. i tried this mask but the way you said , it forces against your face , was seen clearly. i did not even go free diving.
Ok I have to ask. What pool is that? Or what company? Any pool that's near me (Colorado) goes no deeper than maybe 8 ft. This looks deeper than 8ft, though it might be an illusion.
Looks like pirbadet in Trondheim, Norway
Hello, this pool is 15 ft deep It Is a public pool In Trondheim
KediT its 15 ft
Christian Wedoy Dang. Wish a pool like that was over here!
Well the pool I use is at most 6 feet deep and its at my university. But its Olympic sized swimming pool. It also has a 16 foot deep diving well, but you have to be part of a certain team or have special permission to use it.
I like those because I’ve tried it
Don't putt that on and dive. cuz some day you might die
I've tried it and I don't like it because I've tried classical masks and snorkels.
Can you blow out there air when u get to the top?
Judging by snorkel length, 20 sm waves and you’re gonna be out of air?
I'm trying to hold my breath long none of the co2 tables or o2 tables are working.any advice
Are you being totally relaxed when you are doing the tables?
Slow and steady wins the race. Don‘t do tables too often, max 3 times a week. When you do you could deplete your iron levels in the blood. Then its even harder to hold your breath and you get the feeling that its not working. So my advice would be pause 1 week and then do tables every 3 days.
is it possible i can meat you in real life i feel that would help more
Yaqoob Mahmud what is your max breath hold , if it’s under 4 mins mostly just comes down to will Power imo.
progression is slow for breath holding
the 1st gains you get in 1st weeks is bc of learning proper technics
physiological adaptations are slow to learn
i did the O2 and CO2 tables, but later i changed to dynamic apnea, because i hit my limits
I'm stuck at 3~4min statics, and 1min dynamic (apnea walk and underwater swimming)
don't be frustrated, just change your focus on making gains on other things
like learning proper streamlining, DNF or DYN ...etc
Can it also be good protection against COVID-19?
Yes
Seeing all the comments here, now I'm hesitant to buy one. I was really thinking about getting one since whenever I go on vacation during snorkeling, I can never get the masks to fit right. No matter where. Water always gets into my face and it fogs up. If I make it smaller, then it hurts my head.
I just bought one, thank you for sharing I just Subscribed!
Can you try h20 ninja mask
Bruh I was thinking it was like fish scales and I could continually breath underwater
literally exact same thought
Me too
*Gills not scales
Gills are what they breath from
Scales are like crocodile/alligator/snake scale on their body
Hahaha do you even know what scales are ?
@@itzyeboidynamo5934 lol
Is there such as a thing as: Using snorkel masks to learn swimming with NO need to worry about water?
I have one and it works perfectly
Thanks for the reassurance.... I bought one today and I was almost beginning to regret it because of all the negative comments...
Can we die if we don't train about scuba diving stuff
This is not scuba diving, It is for snorkeling
Yes its not scuba diving mask its for snorkeling
Also yes definitely
you can die either way with this mask just buy a normal snorkel
Four surfers survible
I have a Snorkl brand mask I bought three years ago. The price was high, so knock offs put them out of business with cheap knock offs. I love my mask for the limited times I get to use it. I have a traditional mask and snorkel, but I always have problems with fogging, water getting in and swallow sea water. Thus, the full face mask was perfect for me and it is safe
A full face mask be like goggles and oxygen tanks in one!! How cool!! Super slick.
I bought a proper one...
WiLD YT there expensive but at Walmart has one for 40$ also Amazon
The end of the video when he comes up he don't look to good after taking the mask off.Looks like he was close to passing out.
I was far from passing out. The reason i look bad is for the reason i explain in the video. When you dive deep with these masks, they squeeze your face hard.
Haha
He just swam the entire length of the pool while holding his breath... I would expect to be out of breath too.
What camera did you use underwater in the swimming pool?
He whistled at me😂 tbh I was not listening
I have this mask too it's such amazing! Btw I liked this video thx for the advice
Nice. Its very comfortable
Christian Wedoy I have seen multiple videos saying these are very unsafe...
Im soo happy because I JUST learned to swim!
I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to learn at around 3-5 years old.
Nice!
got one cant wait to use it
I got one of those and they are just fine but only when your floating this maybe a diving mask but you can turn it into a gas mask
Now I can look like subzero
lmao
I don't like these masks because a. there's more potential for a bad seal considering the mask has to cover your entire face, and b. they look goofy.
JJJ J who cares what they look like but okay go off
but they say CO2 gets stuck in the full face mask and many people recommend not to buy it, so not sure..what do you advise on that.
what mask do you use for diving/free diving?
i just gave you a sub btw thanks for teaching me all the underwater skills or i would drown and greetings from israel :3
Finally lol! An upload (I changed my name and my profile pic)
Been busy with work lately, so I had less time to make videos.
Christian Wedoy No problem 😂
ArchaicRBLX oh yea yea
Oh yeah yeah oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah join Max's discord oh yeah yeah
What camera did you use underwater?
I literally just got an ad for this very mask
I already bought it and I watched this 2 months after
Dominickツ it’s dangerous
Bought it today 😂😂😂
@@samitgore8219 I bought it today. I'm now reading these
@@holybedrock i was in thailand and i used it there it works ,so good. Just dont go swimming with it for long distance i learned it the hard way 😂😂😂
I cant use the conventional mask snorkel due to gag reflex
These are life savers for me.
I don't dive under water just swim head in water on surface and its perfect for that
Thanks for this vid I’m looking into getting one
I really am looking forward to someone FINALLY making a full face mask that you can use to breathe underwater with, at first I thought you could until I watched a different video of someone trying it but, they couldn't breathe underwater with it... I was disappointed
That is made long time ago. But you need a air tank then
This kind of mask should be banned as they are dangerous, 2 common problems are. First, they market this mask for beginners since it's easy breathing, and exactly those people are the ones that have problems and panic when the mask starts to leak water in, adding the way this mask sits in your face makes it hard to remove while in panic. Secondly, they have 2 one way valves, it's not so uncommon to lose 1 of them without noticing, this will increase your dead air space and will make you continuously breath in part of the exhaled air, equalizing is the least problem.
Hm yes ban everything
Synchronized Dissonance everything includes you
dreamfall2 hm yes indeed
So you cant snorkel with this??? Unless you're talking about diving because this isn't meant for diving hopefully this helps your pea sized brain.
Obviously this mask is for snorkeling "hint: it says so on the video title", sry my pea sized brain didn't let realize that I needed to clarify that.. now that this part is clear. reread the post again. ofcouse you can snorkel with it, but it's dangerous for the stated reasons.
I really like full faced snorkel masks. But make sure, you don't buy one that's made cheaply. People have actually DIED from CO2 buildup in those cheaply made full faced masks. I would recommend to get a full face mask from a reputable brand that has a proven well working design, like a Triboroid or a Ninja H2O.
They may be more expensive than most other face masks they got on the net. But buying a proven safe design can save your life.
Darius Villa I don't see how people would get CO2 buildup snorkeling. As long as you're able to inhale and exhale air it's all good. In case the mask is clogged for some weird reason you'll notice it instantly. I've used the cheapest version that runs on AliExpress and eBay. No reason imo to spend more on this kind of mask. Unless your planning to dive with it frequently, but as stated in the review here, this product is not designed for that.
Neo Inoue 9886 I think all the masks has the same mechanism that's not compromised with the cheap masks.
We might deal with false advertising campaign here. Prove me if I'm wrong.
Well, I'm a free diver so, Good that i seen your video! I liked and subscribed.
So how far down can you go in this mask without having problems
1-2 meters
What do you prefer? This snorkel or the regular snorkel: I like to take deep dives when I'm on vacation
Hello,
If you are going to swim deep this mask is not for you. This Is for snorkeling. You should use a regular scuba/freediving mask
Christian Wedoy thank you for replying
Hi there, I also have a similar full face mask. Although it is really comfortable and great for watching the bottom, It is a bit hard to dive as Christian has mentioned due to mask squeeze. Another issue is that there is too much air in the mask that the mask pulls your head up when you try diving. It is also visible in the video that one has to put extra effort into keeping their heads (and the mask) at the bottom when diving. So it is definitely not ideal for diving. When compared to regular snorkeling gear, it is more comfortable, allows better vision and nevertheless looks and feels cooler. However, I think it is a bit specific for only watching the sea life. You can use a regular snorkel for every activity you will do with this mask, but not the other way around with the mask. To sum up, if you already have a regular snorkel I think you might give this a try. Otherwise, I guess you should go for the regular one.
What if a bird comes and sit on the opening? Because some birds really are that brave
That's a really clear and clean pool
James Edwards and its public wish i lived there
Would it work fine it I just held my breath and dove under water 1 meter or so?
I was in Spain snorkling last week. My step brother used the full face mask, problem is that it fogs up pretty quick.
This Mask does not fog up. It very much depend what kind of full face mask you use. This one Is made to not fog up, It Is also Important that you have a mask that fits your face.
Christian Wedoy It fits him, I think its because he has a older version
Oh yeah yeah
Ercole Floyd hahah oh yeah yeah
Adrian Lona how the fuck did we reach here
