Tips for finding the right snorkeling gear for women

If you’re like thousands of other women around the world who love snorkeling among the beautiful sea life, you know how much fun it can be.  However, in order to really enjoy the experience, you need to make sure you have the right snorkeling gear, according to Live Your Aloha.  One of the main components to that gear is the mask.  The snorkel mask is a very important object. This is the object that lets you see the wonderful world under the surface. A snorkel mask is used to protect the eyes from water or any object that can hurt you while diving. Because this is an important piece, it is important that you choose the best snorkel mask. The best type of mask will make sure you have the right fit, feels right, and does not let in the water, allowing you to see the underwater world clearly.

If you are new to this fun hobby, you may not be familiar with the type of equipment available for purchase. It is true that you do not need snorkeling equipment to get started, but if you want the best experience possible, you need to be equipped with the right equipment.  So, let’s take a look at what you need to keep in mind when looking for a quality snorkeling mask.

 

Choosing the Right Snorkeling Mask

Lens

The most important aspect of any underwater mask is clearly the ability to see. This means that the formation and measurement of lenses is the biggest decision you should make. You can get single, double or multiple line configurations. However, the shape of the lens, glass specification and special coating are all possible options. A normal lens is more open because they do not have frames on the nose bridge. With a single lens, it is impossible to change prescription fixes. Twin lenses are compatible with more replacement lenses. They are easy to mount because you can remove some of the frames. To make the mask more comfortable and light, many masks have a window panel on each side of the mask.


Internal volume

The internal volume of the mask is very important. Volume is basically the airspace when the mask is sealed on the face. When a diver enters the water, the internal volume is compressed. Most people like a small volume mask because it is the most comfortable.

Mask angle

Most women do not pay attention that the mask angle, but it is very important. Many snorkel masks do not run on the same angle as faces and always have scratches downwards. It is beneficial because it helps in reducing internal mesh volume and improving visualization of the lower area. When the mesh angle is shaved, the frame is taken back towards the cheekbones. It makes it easy to look down and helps the snorkel look down without raising the head. A snorkel mask is something that should be able to form a waterproof seal around the face while not causing pain or trouble. A snorkel mask that pinches the face can be very uncomfortable, and it can affect your overall snorkeling experience.

Look out for other features

Since there are different masks to choose from, a lot of it will come down to your personal preference, and what you’re looking for. If you have to wear contact lenses or glasses, you will need to get a snorkel mask that matches your prescription.  Or, maybe you want a full-face mask.  Once you understand what you want, making a decision will be much easier.


Conclusion

Taking the time to choose the products that fit your face not only makes your snorkeling experience more enjoyable, but it will make it more secure than choosing a random mask you find at Wal-Mart. It's better to invest time and effort into choosing the right mask for your face, instead of just hoping for the best.
