Being a newbie I took the advice of a dive shop where I live when purchasing a new mask for the first time. It's a Mares 'Ghibli' mask, which through later research I discovered is a 'snorkeling' mask. Being a higher quality snorkeling mask, is it suitable for a beginner scuba diver who is currently doing their OWD course? The lens is marked 'Tempered' and has a sticker saying it meets a US standard (11-1995) for impact resistance.
I've read some of the forums on here which discuss the topic, many of which say the quality of the materials for the two differ, but to me it looked, felt and fitted no different to the other masks available, both Mares and other brands.
