Leaking Mask

[banna]

I have been diving for 3 years. I now have an issue with a leaking mask. I am now on my third new mask and they all leak at the same place, right at the crack of my nose and cheek. Any tricks? Maybe a little caulk from HD??

How much is it leaking? Is it too much to simply clear away every now and then? I have a goatee and my mask leaks a bit, but nothing that a quick clear can fix every now and then.

I have to clear it about every 5 minutes. with clearing this much my defog ends up washing out then the rest of the dive is foggy. I have not had an issue until lately. I also have a goatee but keeep it short. I was reading about people using chapstick, I am diving on Saturday and plan on trying that.

Try this stuff. It helped my lovely bride with her mask leak.

So for 3 years you had a mask that did not leak? Did that mask start leaking, or was it only when you bought a new mask did the leaking begin?

Also, is the leaking happening only at shallow depths, or at any depth?

 

[banna]

Yes, for three years no issues. Just started so I bought a new mask, now 3 mask later still same issue. It leaks at all depths.

Collagen injections.

That, or "Goop" brand adhesive.

And drywall screws. They work.

You should wax that scraggly mustache off your face first, because if you apply the liquid nails its gonna hurt when you remove your mask. :cwmddd:
