Better in Sharm. The choice is large.
аватар moy_contakt
It is better to look at such things, measure them, and Ali Express is a roulette. I order a lot of things there, but you can buy fins with a mask for no more expensive directly in Sharm.
аватар chernov1946
In SHARMA you can choose for every taste. It is better to try on flippers and a mask, as well as shoes
аватар Gelenka_1
Yes, this topic has already been discussed a number of times.
аватар lana_181
hmmm..scrolling..or maybe snorkeling?)) and why not read this information first, Gelenka_1 noticed correctly, it was discussed hundreds of times so as not to litter with such questions?
аватар natochka__74
Lana, found what was discussed 6 years ago, decided to ask again. Everything can change. And the word "scrolling" was written off from the Internet, I thought correctly.
аватар lazy_person
If you use "smart" words... well, then "snorkeling" (or "snorkeling" / German Schnorchel /).
аватар samoshkina.maria
In Egypt, this is in bulk)) and if you go on an excursion, it is usually provided
аватар lazy_person
This year I was in Sharm ... there, many are not just swimming in a mask or goggles, but their whole head is stuck in a mask resembling a three-liter bottle. It's fashionable now.
You need one like this, otherwise you will be like a sucker from the village ...
аватар Gelenka_1
lazy_person :)))) made the last post laugh)))
Yes, she is excellent, her whole face is in a mask, there is no tube in her teeth. And I bought it from us in Ukraine at the off. site.
But as samoshkina.maria advises, renting a mask is like giving your toothbrush to others, who knows.
The mask, if you decide, take it once and for a long time. My old "Volna" was bought for $100 and served for 10 years, until these "three-liter bottles" were released all over my face))) But it's still nothing old, it doesn't leak!
аватар Tana999
Gelenka_1 Can you tell us more about your experience with the full face mask. I read very conflicting reviews - it leaks, and fogs up, and the ball sinks, you can’t breathe, and it pinches your hair. But there are many good reviews. The worst thing is that the ball sinks and does not allow breathing.
аватар pavlyukn
Masks for the whole face cost in Sharm 15-18 dollars so it is possible to buy and there, today returned from Sharm
аватар ilyasan
For the first time, I used Soviet masks (in-law, the instructor of the sabotage school, was nataskalts of the work of military ammunition), until they began to crack from old age.
I bought two here through the olx (for the whole face) and one vacation swam in Hurghada.
Rare crap. Flows, sweats, wedges. I took others from friends - the same Faberge.
Next time I will go without masks.
As for me and from experience - In Tula with your own samovar.
There are their wagons. And the price is the same.
аватар norhin
From China is simply cheaper!
аватар alla.neshcheretnaya
Full face masks in Sharm starting from 35 to 15 dollars, but you need to understand what you are buying and naturally bargain. Do not take a black mask categorically, it is of the worst quality, also look at the fastening elastic bands, they are often replaced with silicone bands - they do not stretch well and stick to the hair, also when buying, let the seller MANDATORY attach the tube to you and look at the tightness of the tube to the mask. Very often the tubes do not dock well with the mask, and with the slightest effort to squeeze, the plastic simply bursts. The mask in this price range is Chinese consumer goods, of the appropriate quality, so don’t count on much, but it’s quite suitable for looking at the fish.
аватар natochka__74
thank you alla.neshcheretnaya

Masks, those that are for the whole face, have several sizes. When buying, you need to measure them and choose the one that has the best fit to the muzzle of the face. )

We also bought a full face mask in April and tried it on my husband, son and me. Before that, I had never tried to watch the beauty of the Red Sea in an old-style mask, nothing worked out for me, but with a new mask I was at least able to see the underwater world. But my son and husband liked this mask less and they swim with their old ones. They bought it in charm, my husband looked for a long time, chose and bought for 20 ye the one where everything was from the junction and it was ok. It leaks if hair gets under the gum and if a man has 3 or more days of stubble on his face. At first, we also had this and we realized that this was the reason (there should be nothing between the skin and the gum). The ball never sank (we already swam with this mask in Thailand, and now in April we are going to Hurghada again.
аватар moy_contakt
I’ll add at the expense of the size - we took a universal size, it fits both me and my husband (his face is bigger than mine, because he’s not a small and round-faced man) and my 12-year-old son also came up. Adjustment gum and back, most importantly, what would be on the plastics where the ball was all tight (they looked different and many saw that this part was walking). In general, carefully examine it. And this mask is not for deep diving, but more for superficial observation of the underwater world.
аватар boyaleex1
Once purchased, a mask from a well-known manufacturer will last 10 years or more and you will enjoy it. But it costs $ 50-60. Everything else is for one or two times, to give a damn. I think a mask for the whole face is more difficult to choose in terms of tightness. There is one more "but" for those who want to try to dive at least 5 meters or more. I have a hard time imagining blowing out the inner ear in such a mask. For example, I pinch my nose at a depth and blow through. How about here?
аватар moy_contakt
boyaleex1, but there’s no way, because this model is not for deep diving (my husband tried it and said that it was not suitable for this), you can dive in it with your head quite a bit, but for swimming on the surface. Those are for such "extremals" like me. But the husband and son both snorkel and scuba dive and they have completely different equipment and were bought not in charm, but at home in a special store.
аватар svarjuna
The mask can easily leak due to the thick layer of cream on the face. The cream dissolves in water, begins to penetrate under the mask, all this mess from salt water with dissolved cream gets into the eyes and starts to pinch.

I bought a mask for the whole face in Sharm in October ... you can’t compare it with the old one, that with a pipe, you just can’t compare! ... BUT !!! ... here I read that many are dissatisfied ... but, dear, these masks are different! ... there is a whole story with my purchase ... at first I bought in the middle price category for $ 20, I thought that for 10 days This one is enough for me, especially since my daughter had one all over her face, they gave her 3 years ago, when they first appeared and in Europe it cost $ 50 .... comparing these masks, we went to the market in Sharm. ... I bought it, but it doesn’t leak, but it’s uncomfortable, it presses, I can’t swim for a long time ... I went a day later, changed to a larger size, it’s normal, but it fogs up ... I went back to that seller, and he says there are very cool, but 30 dollars, changed with a surcharge ... and here the class is already full! ... my daughter and I swam and talked underwater, showed each other something interesting, did not leave the water for hours ... so advice - do not save and buy a good one!
аватар alexandranick2
Yes, also ... the seal between the mask and the face can be rubber or silicone, the difference is huge ...
аватар alla.neshcheretnaya
alexandranick2 please specify. what you liked more. I bought with a rubber seal around the face. Silicone did not suit me.
аватар Gelenka_1
Tana999 bought a Tribord Easybreath mask for about $63 already she saw 4 seas-oceans) very comfortable, silicone around the face, elastic bands at the back, soft, hair does not pinch. Everything is adjustable, they have 2 sizes in total, we took L universal for both me and my husband. The valve does not freeze and works if it covers with a wave or dived deeper, the main thing is to react in time! Visibility is great! After salt water, ALWAYS rinse with clean fresh water! I am very satisfied with the mask. Good luck.

аватар alexandranick2
alla.neshcheretnaya, the silicone seal fits the face much better, does not let water through and is just much more comfortable ... and you probably just didn’t fit the size or model of the mask .... because the so-called universal sizes are not universal at all .. .
аватар moy_contakt
alexandranick2, when we bought a mask, we measured it before buying it, and just the universal one fit perfectly for me and my husband and son. We have silicone in the mask or it’s hard to say, I don’t remember, but the mask fits well, it doesn’t rub, it doesn’t sweat
аватар kkkandrei
