A little leak in New Mask

[Allison Finch]

I sent my mask to get prescription lenses put in. When I got it back, there was an annoying leak that had not been there before. I sent it back and they found that the lenses had not been put back in just right. They were able to fix it just fine. Maybe the original fabricator made a small mistake that could be fixed. Talk to your LDS or e-mail the manufacturer.

As a newer diver I think you notice the mask leak more.
I had exactly the same problem with my mask. It is a bug eyes mask. (Its not on too tight, it has no leak) Its surprising how the smallest bit of my stubble can leak my mask.

Anyway to my point.
I find if i do not put the strap evenly on the the back on my head it leaks.
In the past I often put the strap too high and that was my main problem.
I'd suggest adjusting positioning of strap if the above slutions do not cure it.

I do believe that some masks are prone to leaking more than others but think thats because my nose is slightly broken
