Full Face Scuba Masks

[JVanste]

In Mexico, I was able to that, since I was only wearing a 3 mm suit most of the time; but the FFM that I was typically using, a Poseidon Jetstream, had ballast weights attached to the mask -- which made head-first descent easier.

In shallower water, the mask would otherwise be a bit buoyant. The Pegasus mask was far simpler -- lower volume after all -- though a bit more prone to water intrusion, if tugging on a long hose; but it still a nice piece of equipment . . .

Cool! Sounds like the Pegasus mask would be good for me.

Good morning. Did you need weights on the Pegasus mask to dive down headfirst?

No, the volume is quite low -- no different from that of a conventional mask . . .

Super awesome! That's exactly what I'm looking for. Are you able to use zip ties on the regulator?

That mask is designed to still use the mouthpiece, and the mouthpiece is retained conventionally with a zip-tie.

Without a mouthpiece, there will be a CO2 buildup in the airspace.

I can use the mouthpiece. I need a full face scuba mask to prevent me from sucking water down.
