It does exactly what it says it can do when fitted correctly, i noticed when i tried fitting and using for the first time ( just snorkelling ) that it seemed to leak, but, when i actually did my first discover scuba dive the girl that kitted me up said that they need checking and fitting by a buddy or trainer, to my amazement it worked perfectly. My ears are dry as a bone every time i dive and that peace of mind is worth the little extra hassle and price, you can also hear better or should i say your hearing doesnt get that muffled sound from the water, if your prone to infections or swimmers ear just go out and get one or borrow one and see for yourself. My instructor is on about getting one after seeing how well it works, only prob i can think of might be if you had long hair esp round your ears, i have no.1 back and sides every 6 weeks so the seal isnt a problem for me. Reason i got one is that as a child i had purforated eardrums ( now fully healed ) and have had a hole in my left ear drum twice ( one from polyp removal & one from blow to side of head playfighting ) both now repaired by myringoplasty ( skin graft repair ), trust me i wouldnt want to dive without this peice of kit after all ive been through, never thought diving would be an option for me but with this i feel safe and confident, and in hindsight i can say this is the first mask ive had that doesnt actually leak into the face area, all my old normal ones seemed to leak after a few weeks use, this is my third year since buying it and its like new, cant fault them, give the designer a medal. |
