Scuba diving help plz?

Question

K, so im 13 years old and a begginning scuba diver. i have the traditional goggles and regulator. however i was reading a scuba magazine and it said tat they r making full face masks for rectreational diving (which ill do). they look more comfortable as u dont have to bite down on a regulator, the mask holds it. do u have any suggestions on which 1 i should use? and if u think i should go w/ the full face mask, do u know the price range for them. also, if u scuba dive and have a camera, which model/company would u suggest cuz im looking for a camera 2. becuz i have a camera but the extra waterproof case is 200 bucks so im not sure if its worthit. so, yeah, im taking suggestions for any of those questions, and id gladly appreciate it if u posted commet

-thx, kevin

Answer 1

Full face masks run between US $1000 and $2000.  They are nice, but do require an completely different skill set.  It different clearing your ears, it's different to clear your mask, it's a little different for sharing air.  

They are nice, though.  Voice communications are wonderful for more technical skills, like search and recovery.  

As far as a camera, I have a cheap 3.2mp Minolta Dimage XT, and case.  Picked up both on e-bay for less than $200.

Answer 2

so yeah, you have to have the full face mask.

Answer 3

I've always wanted to scuba dive but have never had the money and have been looking at such things a lot lately. I also think full face masks look a lot more comfortable, most of them seem to be $500-2000 though because they're made for commerical diving.

There is one exception however that's $75-100 in most places I've seen online, that I think is aimed more toward recreational divers and here's where to check it out: http://www.amazon.com/Full-Face-Dive-Bla...
