BOLO!! (Be On The Lookout!)

Saw these at Costco recently and having purchased three two years ago I can say they are the neatest thing to have!!!

HEAD Sport Full Face Snorkeling Mask

Adult sizes and kids sizes. You'll see *everything* in your pool, I swear. Great for inspecting surfaces underwater.

Addendum: Amazon's price is a lot better than Costcos, and I didn't notice any improved quality in the Costco ones so I encourage those interested in them to obtain them from:
http://www.Smile.Amazon.com
The Amazon is the very same but this is how Amazon donates some proceeds to charities and Trouble Free Pools qualifies! I have all my Amazon purchases go thru the Smile link. It helps keep this forum advertising free, and up and running.

YS, is the Costco different? Worth the extra money?

Actually I wasn't paying as much attention to price as to being glad to see them out there. I just noticed how much cheaper Amazon is.

Of course I hope if anyone is interested in these they would use "Smile.Amazon.com" and tag Amazon's charitable donation to Troublefreepools to help support this mission to help home pool owners. Right?!

Nice, these are a lot of fun! They are meant for surface swimming but diving to the bottom in my deep end is no problem.

Make sure you don't buy the panoramic ones, makes swimming in your pool feel like a fish bowl!

I am looking for a mask that will allow me to snorkel in the Keys.......certainly not more than about 10 feet deep....observing the flora and fauna and squealing like a stuck pig when I see a barracuda.

Will these fulfill that mission?

For the keys? Lucky!

I have the head brand, the snorkel seals well when I want to go under.

I’m sort of a snorkel snob, I’m skeptical about the lower priced units.

Bit 2 big thumbs up for the head brand..

I believe the instructions say for surface only, although I dive down with them, I'd say 10' max would work (there is a volume of air and you can't equalize like a normal mask). The beauty is they self drain and are perfect for hours of snorkeling, breathing using your nose and mouth is a luxury. I'd highly recommend you try it, just bring your traditional mask and snorkel as a backup. Also might need more than just spit to keep it from fogging.

Have fun!
