I am very new to the sport and have recently finished my 2 pool sessions for my OW certification. The gear I bought, recommended through my lds, seems to be great high quality stuff that gets good reviews and generally well viewed so I am psyched to know they will not steer me wrong with future needs, or should I say wants and must haves. My first pool session went without a hitch and I was pleased how well everything worked, fit, etc. My second day everything was the same except for I noticed a little difference with my goggles. I felt like the nose pocket was pushing up on the bottom of my nose. It was so much that I almost felt like I had to keep readjusting it and after the pool session was done the bottom of my nose was a little sore. I talked to the lds and the guy said that the mask I have might be a little too low-volume for me. I am of italian decent so I do have the iconic beak. He told me we could look at other goggles and swap mine out, but I really like the ones I got and am curious if I might be keeping the strap too high in the back or maybe the mask too tightly against my face that lead to that problem? I will clarify again, it is in face the bottom of my nose (nostril area) where I feel the pressure, not the end, not the sides, or the bridge. If the title of the thread did not give it away, they are the Aqua Lung Look 2 goggles.
Any suggestions, help or tips you guys could give me would be great. I cannot be the first person to ever encounter this problem before so I am sure there is a solution. I am going to fiddle around with them on my next few dives when I do my instructor-led dives to complete my certification but I was hoping to see if anyone could give me any other ideas to try other than the ones I am already contemplating (ie lowering strap, loosening strap).
Thank you in advance guys!
