How to wear masks properly?

[angelica]

I wonder why this happens all the time.. When divers take their masks off after a session, their faces looks permanently damaged because of the lines from their masks.

Isn't it that as long as a mask doesn't leak, then a diver won't get lines on the face?

So do you guys still got more advice for others to increase their comfort in their masks? Thanks!!

G'day,

I guess some people may overtighten their mask straps. I know I did initially.

Hi,

I agree with Lloyd!

If you over tighten your mask then you'll often get a mask line!

I find I get a better mask seal by not having the mask too tight!
I never get a mask line these days!


Best of luck.

i have gone diving with some divers that, yes every time we come up, they take their mask off and there is this deep ring line around their face!! i know that i put mine on just tight enough to hold it in place, i dont think i have a ring around my face when i come out, will have to ask my next dive buddy if i do!!
