I saw "MASKS for Free.." and got hella exited.
hahahahahaha ah sorry bro! haha
Lol
I learned so much from you tonight. This info is hard to get on websites somehow. Your channel is the best combination between fun stuff and knowledge sharing. Thank you and keep doing it!! :) (edit: and ofc I subscribed!)
Nice easy to follow videos. Keep up the good work Adam!
Regards from Brazil, my friend. Another nice and informative video. Thanks!
Found your channel today and i already love it!
This answered many of my questions that other videos did not address, especially field of view. Thanks!
This video is exacly what I need. Thanks a lot for the knowledge.
Bloody rad video :) thx for super to-the-point tips!
Gotta love this guy. Champion. Thanks for the info
Thank you! Just stoked that it's helpful :)
Love these videos man !! All around entertainment and education! Good stuff lol
Thank you! I love making them :)
Thanks Adam......another awesome video. I'm not a free diver......I'm a bubble maker as you guys like to call us, I believe, but really enjoy your channel. Maybe not a direct member of your family that you love to talk about, but certainly a close relative.
i was so confused until i saw your video!!! thank you very much mate!!!
absolute pleasure :)
Thank you for the precious information!😊
so so welcome :)
Thanks for all the great tips again🤙🏽
so so welcome Jeff :)
Scuba pro solo here. It's very comfortable and offers good visibility, although it still fogs a bit. Great video 👌
very informative channel, all those advice on improving breath hold and training are really helping out, cheers mate
Thanks buddy! :)
You are one of the funniest people on YT😁, and I have learned a lot from your videos👍🏻
Thank you buddy! I'm so stoked you've learnt a lot :)
I use Agualung Micromask and i love every second using it, it is perfect for me.
it's a great mask :)
thanks mate, your videos are great
Realy good tips! Thanks ☺
You're so welcome Rune :) glad the video was helpful
Cool video,thanks for sharing.
Thank you! After seeing this video, will return what I purchased from a LDS. Now I see, they do not cater to freediving, just scuba. Glad it has a 30 day return policy! St Augustine next week, to a REAL Freediving shop! Your the best, Adam!
happy to help out!!!
Hi Adam, nice content thank you for doing this for all of us!
Greetings from France :)
You're so welcome :) thanks so much :)
Well explained, exept the part of snorkel.
I think you should explain WHY valves and splashguards are "big no no". "Inappropriate" isn't a reason, we talk here about whether it works well or not and why.
Hi Adam, I’m a big fan of your vids and hope someday I can do what you do👍🏻 keep doing what ya do man👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thank you so much! I really appreciate that :)
Oceanic Shadow 8 years service. Love it. I think lens will be clean after some use. So if you scare to burn just use it and let time do work for you.
The first mask I bought was the cressi nano and I still use it ever since. I worked in a dive shop and tried many different ones, but this one just fits best. There is the Sphera Freediving mask which is a ultra low volume mask with a big field of view. It's probably one of the best masks to freedive deep without having to use a noseclip, but it doesn't fit to many faces.
Yeah i've never been a big fan of the sphera. I just dont like how it warps vision but the nano is great!
My new favorite channel!
Thanks Kev!
I use the subgear steel comp. Very comfortable around my high nose bridge, nice low volume, fits my face very well. But I am interested in the Cressi Nano as well...
yeah the nano is nice :) i often get issues with my nose bridge as well
Thanks a lot for your videos. Thanks to them I'm going to start to swim in the sea
you're so welcome! I'm so happy you'll start :) the ocean is the most incredible place
For people with a small face or who just like a small volume the Cressi Super Occhio is a great choice (which is probably why it's been in the marked for so many years). I've used it for underwater rugby as well as free diving and scuba diving. Only issue - no space for a nose clip as the lenses are not far enough apart.
Yeah true! that is a great mask. I used to use it :)
Very good info. Thanks!
You're so welcome :)
I ended up getting an Aqualung Teknika...didn’t know much about this topic but the shop I went had a scuba water tank and let me try out a couple of masks. Thinking in retrospect I should have opted for a lighter mask. I think it makes a lot of difference specially when starting to go deeper to have a lower bulk mask . Aqualung Micro seems like a good option overall amongst freedivers...
How does it feel to be a legend. Good job mate
great vid!
I’m a Beginner this video helps a lot thanks 👍🏽
Awesome! so happy to help :)
i used to have an omer alien and now i recently purchase a mares viper which ia a great mask, as you said it's a very personal choice :) . thank you again for your videos.
Regards from Ireland.
thank buddy :) I do enjoy making them :)
Love your content.
Thank you Bruno :)
Hey Adam, why do you suggest we avoid snorkels with a splash guard or a purge valve. Aren't those more practical?
Thank you so much!!!
Ive learned so much from watching your videos. Thankyou! You deliver infornmation in a way that noobs can digest. Respect!
Adam, I’d love to hear about and know more about those *goggles* (not masks) I see competition divers using. How do they work without the ability to exhale air into them? Do you ever use them? Why or why not?
Thanks!
3:46! HAHAHAHAHAHA LOVE IT!!! You're a gangster, Adam. Thanks for the great videos. Love your humility.
hahah i wish!!! So happy you like the videos, it means a lot!
just got new mask. it works amazing and is super comfortable.
awesome :) a good mask is a precious thing!
just got a cressi calibro. it fits good in my face!
Nice! as long as it fits your face you're good to go!
I am using the mares viper it is a really nice mask!
Top vid👍
Cressi f1. For general purpose snorkelling/ spear fishing. Loved it so far
I use the same sporasub mask that you showed in the video. It’s a great mask with very a soft silicon skirt. Over all great mask
it's one of the best i reckon
Hi Adam so I bought a nano it fits pretty good. Recently I bought a white Noah for my daughter. Tried it on wow like a suctions cup and super comfy had to buy a black one for myself. I know you said you can’t buy online but i live in an area of 90 % bubble makers. No where to buy
I like the Aqualung Micromask. Low volume, good view, and fits great!! I think I spotted it on the wall behind you, might have been the same one you made fun of for the clear silicone!! 😂😂(It also comes in black though)
hahahaha the clear silicone is okay ;) it is a great mask!
The cressi superocchio is the only mask that fits me, I dread the day they finally take it out of production. Great mask to try on for people who have trouble finding masks in general!
I doubt they'll ever take it out of production. it's a classic ;)
Shana Van Hauwermeiren I'll have a give-away tomorrow for free dive mask and snorkel
Have you tried the sphera mask? I'm new into the freediving word and found your videos, you´re really good at explaining things
Hey Adam! I've been looking your video for quite a long time! Recentally decidend to go to freediving cources. So do you think the Scubapro Zoom Evo mask is good for freediving?
Hollis all the way for big noses.........also for scrip lenses so good !!
yeah they do make good stuff
Thanks adam. 😊😊
so so welcome :)
Oh noo, i just bought my mask online and haven't try it yet. Thank you Adam for your explanation.
I’ve been using the hammerhead MV3 action mask with purple glass coating (reduces glare or whatever) lol. It has an integral GoPro mount. The glass coating is starting to wear but it doesn’t effect the view through the lenses. I’ve been using it happily for almost 2 years.
I quite like that mask myself. I always stay away from coatings personally but the Go Pro mount is always welcome in a mask!
Another great video from sensei Adam, Thank you for sharing your knowledge to us. Can you elaborate more on the issues about fogging goggles and the procedures on how you defog it or preventing it from fogging aside from the traditional spit method. Thank you so much sensei!
Thank you :) as long as you burn or rub off the factory film you can use spit, soap or toothpase to defog a mask :)
Another option is no tears baby shampoo.
My first mask came from the mirage barracuda snorkelling set. It super incredible quality FOR THE PRICE. Soft silicone in the mask, and a super comfortable mouth piece. Fins could be better though
i have a colection of masks haha,i gues my favorit for snorkeling and salow free diving will surprise ya as it is a very ole fasion mask whit an big oval glas ,the kind ya see Jaque Coustau using in his documentary series ,loved that guy he realy got a lot of ppl in to diving and nature conservation
Cressi Nano has worked great for me for years!
it's a great mask :)
I use the scubapro devil.
Nice video 👍
thank you :) Scuba Pro make good masks :)
Omer apnea mask, best mask I've ever had!
that's a nice one :)
i thought of attaching magnets to the snorkel and mask band do you think this'd be a good idea?
OMER alien - best for me. Legend! ;)
Same! 🙂
Still looking for a low volume mask but i have a flat wide nose have tried the mares viper, scuba pro steel comp so far and even the omer ones but im not able to squeeze my nose for equalizing. Any suggestions?
Sporasub Mystic user here and a mares dual snorkel, for me nice and simple combo that is also very comfortable. If i spit in the mask before dive it never fogs up even after hours of diving.
You must have the magic spit! ;)
been freediving for a few months now, but there are still new things i've learned from this vid. thanks! quick inquiry tho, about deep dive goggles, will you create a vid for that? also any idea about saline goggles? cheers!
Fluid goggles are just goggles with different lenses in them that are the same/similar density to water so you can see clearer with them. Not many competitive divers use them though and I personally dont like them. I'm not sure if I will make a video on it....it would be a short video! haha
I'm late to the video, but I've been using the Salvimar Noah myself. The OLD ones are the good ones. The NEW ones have problems with the straps breaking. It's happened to several of my friends
Really excited for the wetsuit one
Coming Monday/Tuesday next week :)
Nice video Adam
It took us about an hour to find a good mask. It is true, you have to fit it yourself. Btw, thanks for the anti-fog tip.
very welcome :) yeah it's so important because it's on your face it has to be comfortable
Also as well as goos old spit, Sea Drops or the Cressi de-misting liquid is great. When I was a kid we used a slice of potato. Also brilliant!
Needs to be cut fresh though, and throw it away before your dive bag becomes a petri dish of rotting vegetables (this has happened to me too).
ah wow! I've never heard of potatoes before. I'll give it a go ;)
The mask which fits me the best is an Aropec single lens frameless mask, but I also like my Scubapro Frameless Mini. The Scubapro is easier to equalize, but the nose pocket is too small. This can get painful on longer diving days. Both of them work well with up to a month of mustache growth.
Sounds like you have a versatile face! haha I have a friend who's nose is so small that she has to get custom masks just to reach her nose! haha
Adam i love your videos 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you buddy!
I use sporasub piranha, but its nose part is a bit hard and sometime leaking when pinching the nose,. I will try micromask later after my saving enough hahaha... thanks for sharing Adam,. Great information as always... 😊👍
Thank you Reshi :) thanks for sharing!
Is there any problem with using a low volume dive mask such as the Oceanic VU if I find the fit is more suitable than free diving mask eg ocean hunter phantom?
Omer Umberto Pelizzari M1 and Omer Apnea are both amazing. They have an extra thin silicone either side of the nose for equalizing
They're both great masks!
Great vid again! I'm using the Aqualing Sphera Mask, is nice to me (but i'm a recreational diver, so no real experience here...)
It's a great mask! I personally dont like it for me but it's a great mask :)
Good vid. I use the mares viper
great mask :)
I used a cressi big eye evo mask & loved it until I lost it on a return trip from spearfishing.I Now have a cressi nano mirror mask & again find it a great fit even with my big nose😂...with both masks I had to shave as the silicone is soft.great video and keep up the good work👍🏻
ah buddy! you're lucky! those are both great masks and that's awesome that they both fit you so well
i think the mares viper looks awesome.im going to start the lvl one freediver course soon.so im getting my gear together.i hope it fits me. (big head)
hahah it should fit for sure :) good luck on your course!
can you make a video on diving accessories (dive knives, dive lights, Ect.)
absolutely I'll get to that one soon :)
Thanks very helpful :))
You're so welcome :)
Hammerhead MV3 (GoPro attachment), very soft silicon and works well!
ah nice mask :)
Hi adam, I have an aqualung micromask and omer UP-M1 both have a good sealed when I put it on my face, but when I go underwater there is a leaked, I believe its come under my nose, especially when I exhale the air into the mask. Fyi im clean shave. Do you have any idea why this happen, and any advise. Thanks in advance.
I'm using OMER "Alien" mask (I think it is the second mask you showed , but mine is full black). I'm pretty happy with it!
Keep the good work and thanks! =D
that is a nice mask :) thank you!!!
Can you free dive
Love the video Daddy
hahah thanks!
I was aiming for a monocrystal mask, but in my local dive shops the ones I tried on didn't fit my face, and I didn't want to buy one online, so I ended up buying the Cressi Calibro in white and pink, very girly
Awesome video daddy!! hahaha
hahaha thank you! i think i'm regretting that Daddy call hahahaha
Im using Cressi Nano but it gets water to the nose pocket when i put my snorkel on. After that there is no problem it does it only putting in and sometimes putting out. Is it a flaw or normal thing?
Hello. I just strated freediving, well spearfishing/snorkling, and I've been watching a lot of your videos for tips. When I put my mask on at home and suck throug my nose, my mask sticks, and feels like it's a good fit. But when putting in or taking out the snorkle of my mouth, there is a leak under the mask. Just while doing it, not while keeping the snorkle in. Is this normal? I've only been out in the water one time with my equipment, but I struggeled with my mask filling up quite frequent.
Thank you Adam. I'm using Aqualung Sphera but have to shave else water enters too much.
I like the Sphera but I never wore it long enough to get used to how it warps your vision
Tusa mask also have prescription lenses. Some masks have standard design (shape) for the glass (oem lenses). These masks have a replaceable lenses where some lenses are graded (prescription lense). For snorkel, I tried a very simple j-shape snorkel (without purge and splash guard) but apparently, my gums are too sensitive which gave me bruises on my lower jaw gums. I ended up using kid friendly snorkel with very very soft mouth piece, but it has a purge and splash guard ... because it was for kid snorkeling hahah
hahahah well I bet you look very cute with your snorkel! ;) good to know about the Tusa masks! :) you can get J snorkels with soft silicon but if the kids one works then you're all good already :)
I got really big trouble with using a snorkel. really not be used to wear that. Diving without a snorkel give me more confidence. I'm considering should I practice more to get used to wear a snorkel or should I just leave it.
I ordered an Omer Alien mask online and got lucky, fits pretty great except the nose is a tiny bit big and prescription lenses up to -6.0 diopters are available for it, so I have -2.0s in mine, makes looking at sea life much more enjoyable
Oh I didnt know that Omer did Prescription lenses! good to know! lucky duck though that it fits well ;)
Hi Adam,
Is the factory film inside the masks also on prescription lenses?
Thanks
thank you
i use the aqualung sphera i really like it because of the super low volume and the very wide field of view
I've never been a huge fan of it only because of how it warps vision but I'm sure you get used to it after you dive with it a lot
