Lots of good advice.

I have a hairy face, but trim my moustache whenever I go diving. The suction test in the LDS showed I had a mask that fit (Tusa), but whenever I was diving, I got constant leaks. Finally figured out I have to be careful where I position the strap on my head. What feels natural ain't it. It can be off by 1/4 inch and I get leaks. Now I do the suction test as I position the mask strap on my head. When I get an airtight fit, I'm ready to dive. No leaks.
