Fit a Scuba Mask to ensure it seals properly and does not leak.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Lean head back looking up.

  2. Step 2

    Pull all hair out of the way, hair will make any mask leak

  3. Step 3

    Inhale though you nose and hold your breath do not push the mask on, it should "suck" to you face

  4. Step 4

    Look down and into a mirror, if the mask stays and seals air it should seal water

Tips & Warnings
  • Look for a professional quality mask, made with surgical grade silicone not commercial silicone
  • Do not over tighten the mask, a good fitting mask almost feels loose. An over tighten mask actually will fit worse as it may curl the inside seal and not seal as well.
  • Make sure the lens glass is tempered for safety
