Last Friday I received my Нимфа mask from Russia. I bought it from Маска подводная Нимфа купить с доставкой по России. The mask I received was very dirty and really looked like it would have been stored all the time since USSR. From reading the thread I thought it was still in production (like...
I have come to realize that my fins are not good for my usage. As I posted in another thread, I have a problem with my fins ending up splashing on the surface when I follow the surface. I got advised to do a modification to my fins, but I think there is a too big risk of permanently destroying...
I had this mask like 15 years ago. One friend still got this mask and I received some pictures of it. Who made it? I miss mine, as I have not found any as comfortable and watertight masks as this one.

I did remember wrong. It was not Hawaii, but Tahiti. I remembered a friend having a such mask and I received some pictures. Who made this mask:

About 15 years ago I bought my first mask. I used it several years until the strap broke. Even after the strap broke I used it by having a very gentle under pressure to keep it on my face. When I moved to another town, I lost the mask. Even to this day I have not found any mask fitting me the...
I am easily getting down 30 feet without fins. With fins I am kicking down, so I am just using the legs. Without fins I am "swimming" down, thus using both arms and legs. It would be very hard work to just kick down without fins.
Most of the time I am just resting at the surface to gather strength for a dive, but sometimes I try to cover distance too. When I try to cover a distance, I find these fins annoying because they end up splashing at the surface rather than staying under the water. Because of this a lot of energy...
I do not know if it is a technique issue or something wrong with my fins, but I find them very annoying when swimming at the surface. I am not able to keep them under water. As soon as I begin to kick, the feet moves up to the surface. It means I am using more energy than if I swim without fins...
I have no problem achieving 10-15m with any mask. I am more interested in seeing if it would add any extra time to explore the sea floor at those depths.
When you go snorkeling/freediving, do you prefer to use fins, or do you prefer to go without fins. I am a bit torn on this case. Without a doubt, I am faster with fins and I reach at least the same far as without fins. Still I often go without fins because I am consuming less fast the oxygen...
