Hello everyone,
I have a strange question. After the aqualung mask I have was leaking into the nose cavity, I went to my LDS and tried out various masks again. My instructor was actually the one helping me. He had others look at it also as I apparently have a large head. I found an apeks mask that fit well, really popped when taking it off after inhaling through my nose. (even with having a full beard and mustache) However when I got to the pool in 5-9 feet of water it kept leaking from the sides into the eye cavity. I tried tighter and looser on the straps but couldnt get it to stop leaking. Thankfully we were in the remove the mask and reinstall it and remove the mask and breath portion of training but it was still annoying.
My instructor was actually surprised by it since he had seen how well it had fit earlier that day. We are going to try it again thursday before class but its perplexing.
Has anyone had this happen to them? any thoughts and ideas? I liked the mask especially with the coated lens. However I just want one that is reliable and doesnt leak for me.
