Do you dive with a beard?

[Ryan Nelson]

I Do.

.

I haven't found that it gets in the way. I shave about 1/16 in below my nose to allow for the mask to seal. I seriously never have a leak on dives up to 100ft. I dive wet or dry no big deal.

No. I don't.

I don't think a beard is an accessory, and I don't dive with one. A nice set of pearl earrings goes great with my wetsuit though. That's an accessory.

Yup...it's all stuffed inside the hood anyway.

Yes, I do. I have a beard and shave only a bit under the nose no problem with the beard; though laugh line are a different story. Some days everythings perfect other days leaks like a sieve. Tried a FFM but not because of the but because the VA is going to be working on my pulling replacing and whatever else and the VA is not noted for fast efficiency.

Yup. I try to keep my head balanced. As the hair thins and is cut shorter on top I trim the beard shorter.

 

[Aotus]

yes. I don't shave the top, but somehow got a better seal today with longer hair than a month ago with stubble...I don't understand it, but plan to take a trimmer with on a training trip next week just in case.

Yes, I have no problems with leaks until I start taking photos as I often get in to some weird positions. Then I have to do some more forceful nose-exhalations as both hands are normally occupied.

Yes, but it's nowhere near as impressive as yours. Nice effort!
