Not all masks are created equal—and definitely not for the same kind of dive. Here’s your no-pressure guide (pun intended):
🐢 Snorkeling
You’re mostly hanging out near the surface (3–5m max), so regular glass might do the job.
But… you will want to dive a little deeper once you spot something shiny down there. Trust me.
👉 Go for tempered glass—it’s safer when curiosity kicks in.
🎯 Pro tip: A mask made for scuba is a great choice for snorkelers too.
🐬 Scuba Diving
You’ll need something comfy for longer dives.
Think: bigger volume, soft silicone skirts, and a solid seal.
Your face will thank you after 45 minutes underwater.
🐋 Freediving
Here, less is more.
Low-volume masks make equalizing easier as you glide deeper on a single breath.
(Sleek, hydrodynamic…)🤿 FYI: You can use a freediving mask for scuba… but it might feel snug after a while.
So… what’s your underwater vibe today?
Surface cruiser? Deep explorer? Breath-holding mermaid?
Pick your mask accordingly—and dive like you mean it.
