OCEAN REEFAria QR + Quick Release Snorkeling Mask - Full Face Snorkeling Mask - 180 Degree Underwater Vision - 8 Colours and 4 Sizes

Don’t do reviews much, but I felt this one certainly deserves one. I got this for a trip to Hawaii and along the pacific coast to snorkel. I did a thorough amount of research on masks and different snorkel gears. This mask repetitively came up as a top seller and top quality. The mask itself is very well -built, is sharp, and beautiful. The visual field is great. The mask does not leak as the seals are quite large and the mask is easily removable. The GoPro mount is a big plus too. My only gripe which caused me to return the mask was the sensation of nausea, lightheadedness, dizziness, and uneasy sensation arousing only 5 minutes into wearing the mask. While every aspect of the mask is enjoyable, I believe the mask does not ventilate properly, thus accumulating carbon dioxide in the airway leading to respiratory acidosis in potentially deadly scenarios. I liked the mask, but the ineffective air exchange was a dealbreaker for me. The regular design of a snorkel with mouthpiece is easily a superior design to go back to that’s more enjoyable for me.

was so difficult to breathe in, felt like i had a bag over my face. God forbid you were actually swimming hard and needing more air. This gets about 40% of the air through as compared to a typical single traditional style tube!

Extremely disappointed in this Ocean Reef Aria QR Full Face Snorkeling Mask, i got nauseous after a few min of snorkeling, co2 gas is not exiting the mask properly, Would not recommend.

I was blessed to get my diving certification while in college and have had the opportunity to use all sorts of equipment and accessories. However, this mask is a revelation. Being a diver, I'm not used to breathing through my nose while under water. Took a second to get used to this neat device. Easy to use and if you never snorkeled before, you're in for a treat because you weren't subjected to the old school snorkeling with tunnel vision, water in the snorkel, and clearing the mask of water. This doe does not. Just make sure you size it correctly or go to the dealer for assistance. Girls! You will love this mask! Hands down. My wife loves it! No more water in the nose either. You can dive down to grab shells and cool items, but not too deep. More mask causes more pressure on the face when you dive down. This is not designed for deep free diving. Casual snorkeling only. Hah, you can communicate and talk under water in this thing too. I will post more info as I use this thing more. Today was first use.

I think this is the very best snorkel mask for people who stay near the surface. The full-face experience is very pleasant for people new to snorkeling. Aria's air-circulation system is the best. The mask always had fresh air, never fogged, always felt well oxygenated. I know someone with asthma who felt fine using this mask. The QR (Quick Release) models are especially easy to get on and off. The fit and seal feels very good, and the one way valves felt like they did their job with the circulation and keeping water out of the mask. The bobbing mechanism in the spout kept any water from coming into the mask when I dove down below the surface. The removable spout and camera mount and ventilated storage bag are very convenient for travel. There's even a 'Snorkie Talkie' accessory you can buy separately to chat with others snorkeling on the surface or hanging back at the boat.The mask isn't ideal for deep dives, because having so much air in the mask it's hard to get too deep in the water (more than ~2 meters down), you'll float right back up. It also doesn't have a way to reach your nose with your hand, so you can't do much to blow out and pressurize your inner ear for deeper dives. If you want to get below ~2 meters, you'll need a different mask. If you're fine near the surface, this is the very best mask to have.

Went for the most expensive mask and it did not disappoint. No leaks, ease of breathing and good vision, although there seemed to be some small amount of fog after a while. As a former scuba instructor I have to say that this mask is a revolution in tech. Just came back from Aruba and I would estimate that most people are now using this mask. I think that most of the other masks, at half the price of this one ,would be adequate, especially if you are in the water only once or twice a year. I intend to buy a less expensive model and compare. Just make sure to get a mask with a flat face plate and not a curved one.

This mask is very well deigned and is very easy to use. The new design in the QR+ model incorporates straps that can be very easily detached from the mask.The only problem that caused me to subtract one from the the ratings is that the disconnecting of the snorkel tube from the mask is very complicated. You need to remove this tube before packing the mask in a suitcase or for storage. The videos on Ocean Reef Group website show that it is very easy to remove the snorkel tube from the mask by just wiggling it; unfortunately, it is much more complicated than it looks.

As a lifelong snorkeler I am really impressed with this mask. The whole concept is incredible.I just spent 3 days snorkeling Catalina and really Loved this whole new experience.The field of vision is awesome and being able to breath normally just puts the icing on the cake. It took a couple minutes getting used to but after that it was just second nature.......breath normally!I did have a couple issues though. First off, the snorkel itself is a little short and could use about 3 more inches in length. The retention straps slip after a while and let a little water in. This would be fixable with a strap more similar to a traditional mask where the straps have the little ridges to catch on?!I am so glad that I have converted to the full mask. It is absolutely a game changer in snorkeling through my eyes!

Valeva la pena spendere qualche Euro in più. É la terza maschera che acquisto e finalmente ho trovato una qualità superiore. É perfettamente aderente e i materiali sono piacevoli al contatto

Ottima maschera visuale ampia minita gia di attacco per qualsiasi action cam. piccolo difetto l'aggancio del tubo poteva essere fatto meglio.

Tutto ok

89 euro e ancora nn ho capito il perché .... che differenza c sia cn quella del decathlon anzi quella 25 euro e nn entra L acqua .... 89 euro da nn buttare

Il prodotto sembra fatto molto bene ma lo proverò la prima volta che vado al mare
