Question

If I purchased a perscription snorkel mask would I be able to use it for scuba diving?

Answer 1

It will work!

You could have problems if you where in the opposite situation.

Snorkel masks could be something like Apnea's and are very tight to your skin so there is less space so you don't have to waste air to compensate. Scuba masks are bigger and there is more space between your skin and the glass and so you need more air to compensate, but you don't mind about it because you have all the air you need just behind you on your back! Anyway scuba masks are better to dive because have a bigger glass sou you can enjoy better the environment that surrounds you!!

Answer 2

No, you would need a scuba mask

Answer 3

Yes it will work just fine. Triple Padi certified.

Answer 4

A snorkle mask and a SCUBA mask are more or less the same thing. While there are masks specialy designed for one activity or the other, either one will do just fine.

Answer 5

Yes , if it doesn't leak, and you get proper training...

Answer 6

Absolutely.

Answer 7

hey stick with a good dive mask....and make sure the dive shop helps you fit it right, the proper way to buy one is, take the mask and apply it to your face, suck the air in through you nose and it should hold there, making a nice seal on your face, when you go to pull it away it shouldn't come off that easy....again stay with a good dive mask, little more durable and better prep viz too
