I need a new mask as does my wife. I have great vision but my wife needs corrected lenses.
First of all how should we go about deciding on a mask for me? What things should I be looking for as far as design goes? Of special importance of course is fit. My old mask does not fit well at the sides and so leaks water in. Consequently I usually have just rented a mask but now want to buy one.
How do I go about finding one that fits well and will not leak? I think the way to do it is to put the mask on and then breath in through my nose, thus creating a vacuum in the mask. Then if the mask keeps its vacuum I figure it will not leak while diving. Is that the way to do it or not?
How do we go about getting a mask with corrected lenses for my wife? Will she need to buy a mask that fits and then send it in somewhere to have corrected lenses installed or do we install the lenses ourselves? I suppose that not all masks will accept replacement corrected lenses. How do we know which ones will? Thanks, Rufous.
