Second that. I grew a first-ever beard / moustache recently, and expected leakage when I dove the first time afterward. Hardly any at all with a Seadive Caribbean, which is a rather simple mask. I push the bottom edge of the mask up as much as I can (without causing discomfort) and I get a good seal (without pig nose). The very small amount of leakage is, as Walter says, pretty much a non-issue.I've worn a full beard and moustache since before I started diving. It leaks a little, but I rarely even notice it. Clearing a mask is automatic. This is a non-issue.
Same here. When I was working on a cruise ship, we called it "the price you pay for being cool".I've worn a full beard and moustache since before I started diving. It leaks a little, but I rarely even notice it. Clearing a mask is automatic. This is a non-issue.
