Tips for fit problems

[tunseeker1]

I have noticed a lot of people complain about the poor fit on masks, and I have a tip!

 

I was watching some new divers in the pool and I noticed that some of them still breathe in the reg/snorkel and out of their nose. By adding the air to your mask it makes the fit go wonky and more likely to leak.

 

This might not be helpful to a lot but I just wanted to post.

It is a very good point and I hope more people see this thread. Inexperienced snorkelers/divers often forget to just breathe in and out of their mouth. Breathing out their nose will also make their mask fog more if they are not using some method of defogging.
