I think I would prefer to wear a mask instead of goggles with this snorkel. Has anyone tried this snorkel with a mask?

I wear a pair of Aquasphere goggles that are fairly large, it works just fine. Unless your mask sticks out well beyond the tip of your nose, the two won't interfere with each other.

I have used this snorkel with a purge mask for 10 years and it works great!

No!I tend to run out of wind before my arms give out. the snorkel lets me focus on stroke and not have to worry about getting air.The tube is a bit long, but breathing through it is not an issue.

Probably not without having it up by quite a bit. I've never tried though. I wear antifog goggles with a respirator.

I would avoid this. I had to return ours as the mask always leaked for both myself and my daughter. I think they are simply too small and cheaply made. Worth the time to go to a dive shop and fit a good mask.

A good fit is a must when you are purchasing a mask. While this mask is designed to seal the nose, it's important that you test it before you go out for a real dive. In your case try this maneuver on your kayak in your pool before you venture to open water. Thankfully the return policy for Amazon allows you to return at no charge a product that does not do what it's supposed to do. I hope this helps.

This mask doesn't leak when used for snorkeling but it isn't designed for lap swimming. I don't know how it would hold up to that since you'd be moving through the water much faster than a snorkeler. I'd think the drag of the water on the mask would be an issue.

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!

It's primarily for diving to be attached to a scuba mask but you should be able to attach it to a ski mask in the same way. Well worth the money.

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 :)

I have a mustache and it works fine for swimming in a pool down to 5' deep. So I can't say how well it would work if you go deeper than that while snorkeling. Of course it doesn't cover your nose. I have snorkeled with other goggles and I don't have a problem breathing just through my mouth while my nose is under water. I would guess it would be fine down to 10' also which is as deep as I've ever gone snorkeling. If you stay on the surface you'll be fine.

Soooo....I can't answer this specific question....what I can say is you are better off buying a good underwater camera. I want to love this mask.....but I don't...hard to use..impossible to check while using...buy a good camera. You will be far more satisfied.

I do not know the answer to this question. I bought this for a friend who does not know how to swim so I doubt that she ever tried to snorkel with it.

Yes. I wear eyeglasses. It is a bit uncomfortable using this mask as an eyeglass wearer, but it is a very good product otherwise. I have thought about being fitted for contact lenses, just so I can wear disposable lenses when using the respirator.

The sound diminishes in my left ear when I breathe because of water in my ear but it does not disappear. The right ear is fine. I have just ordered a snorkel which should come this week. That may reduce the problem of turning my head to breathe. I ordered the snorkel mostly because of neck and back problems not because of hearing problems. You might want to try a different size ear bud.

It's worked well for me. Fogs up every once is a while, but they all do. I just use goggles a lot but if I plan to get shot in the face a lot I break it out.

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.
