Many thanks, I have been researching "what happens if your cpap pressure is too high?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Panvaryor Unexpected Preference - (do a google search ) ? It is a great one off guide for discovering how to eradicating sleep apnea and snoring minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.

Used a normal mask with snorkel for years and just purchased a full face design Thanks for the heads up on safety and advice with your instructional video

[@0just0derp0]

never snorkeld and used a full face for the first time. had a nice experience

[@maryannkom299]

Good to know

[@Texray1]

What a great video. I've had my full face mask for a while and I've snorkeled many times in Maui where the water is pretty rough at times. The great thing about these masks is they don't fog. So it was good to know that if they do it may be a sign of trouble. Good to know.

[@adamsagtarap2767]

I bought this snorkel mask about a month ago and love it!!! I'm snorkeling quite frequently with friends and amazed how easy it is. Just need to ensure that the mask is "snug" against your face as suggested. I like to clean the mask before and also dry off the water so you can have the best experience viewing in the water. I'm actually quite hesitant to go under water with it, as you mentioned, it should be more for just on the surface, which I agree. Most places to viewing marine life does occur deeper than 5 feet. Yet, good to know that I can still breath with the mask under water. Its also a best practice to always wash your masks to prevent the salt water from damaging or eroding it. I use soap, water and a sponge to clean it after each use. With the enjoyment of exploring the underwater life, just be aware where you are in relation to the shore as I have a number of times explored further out than expected. Stay safe and enjoy the experience.

[@JoeOceanside]

Glad you are enjoying it, thanks for the tips and stay safe. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@edmontoncouple1562]

super educational. everything are spot on. safety should always be a priority and everytime go out or do something new. always ask yourself "WHAT AM I WILLING TO RISK".

[@JoeOceanside]

Yeah that is a good way to think about it. Anything fun in life will have risk associated with it. Glad you liked the vid. thanks for watching

[@heathieAK]

Watching this because I just watched a 38 year old man drown in Maui while snorkeling. He was in the water alone and his family was on the beach. They were unable to revive him after CPR for 45 min. I realized that I know nothing about "snorkel safety" and did not know that was even a thing to take so seriously until now. He was using a traditional 2 piece snorkel but I have this full face mask.

[@johaygood588]

Just bought a full face Snorkel... and this video explains its use well. Thanks buddy. You should include... TIMING... how long you should comfortably and safely stay under water. TRAINING... how to test your training, when you are trained well. SNORKEL... how to take care of it so it lasts long and keeps good. BUDDY TRAINING... how should your guardian angel guard you and when and how he/she should do his/her lifesaving act.

Usefull video. Thank you. I just recieved and tried the Rocontrip full face mask in the pool and it works just fine. I heading down to the Dominican for 3-4 weeks and I am really looking forward to trying it out there but I am also bringing my regular mask and snorkle to go deeper as I find the full face mask creates too much pressure as you said. It is ideal for surface snorkling and maybe go down to 3-5 feet at the most for short periods. Thanks again and good diving!

Was the check valve for the snorkel inlet not working to seal air from going back up when exhaling? Are some designs less reliable and prone to this happening? Are they all basically silicone flapper valves of varying thicknesses? What type of valves should one look for to avoid this type of issue?

Hi I am 11 and using the full face snorkel mask and tbh you need a high lounge capacity cause it is hard to breath just need to take SUPER deep breaths for it to work!

[@JoeOceanside]

yeah just be careful, if you are over breathing (hyper ventilating) and diving down that could lead to a blackout. I would recommend using a traditional mask and snorkel for you. Get good with it and you can be a free diver too! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@OlstiMusic]

thanks for all the tips, learned a lot! One thing you forgot to mention: You can activly push out the water by breathing out strong. This should force the water trough the mouth valve just like on the scupa octopus

[@deanbay]

Can you do this under the water?

[@maryannkom299]

I really appreciate the video. Bought one of these because jaw issues and was worried I couldn’t find a mouth piece that would fit my tiny mouth. It came but it had no directions. So I’m going to be referring to your video. We are staying in a private home in Tahiti on the beach. So I’ll have the opportunity to try it in shallow water where I can touch the bottom before we go out to snorkel. If for any reason, I’m uncomfortable I’ll stop immediately. And yes I’ll have 3 buddies. I’m probably not going to go underwater.

[@ragetobe]

The downside of these over a traditional snorkel is that diving down with them is a no go, they cause a lot of pressure which is a lot of pain, the standard snorkel set doesn’t do this. I’m a diving instructor and diving down for me is second nature so it’s a traditional mask for me.

[@broseidon6841]

I want this for my pool and it’s only 5 ft deep can I go underwater, and also do I breath In with my nose and out with my nose?

[@JoeOceanside]

Yea, it's good for your pool. And you can breathe in and out through your mouth or nose. However if your nose does not fit perfectly it may restrict breathing through your nose, all depends on how well it fits on your face. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching

[@Nert0703]

Thanks for the video! In case there is CO2 buildup in my mask, would it be enough to remove the mask from my head to release the trapped CO2? Or rinse it with water? Not sure how deeply it gets trapped in the spaces of the mask.

[@kayceaz]

Awesome video thank you. Just can't use a conventional snorkel, so hopefully this will work. Going swimming with dolphins in three weeks, clearance after lasik surgery in two, so a week to practice in the pool.

[@barbaraflowers3308]

What I do is I wear the mask for a few minutes and the I lift it up to get some fresh air for a couple minutes. And do everything I can to avoid CO2 build up. Today was my first day out at the beach using it. Haven't felt any dizziness or fatigue or disoriented but if I do I'm taking the mask off and getting out of the water. I never go deep in the water and I'm very skeptical going in the ocean at the beach when there is strong waves. I got caught in a wave at Navarre beach in Florida one time and water got in my nose and mouth and it was one of the most unpleasant feelings. I was fifteen when that happened. I'm not near Florida but the waves are not bad except when high tide hits and today it was high tide

I'll try to test it again and say if it's happening because i don't remember my last time . i can't really say that shortness of breath is because of mask because i experiencing it every time i do any kind of activity including swimming. but i already expected that something is wrong with this mask because it worsens already existed shortness of breath.

Thank you for letting us know how to use a snorkel, I’m wanting to get into snorkelling because for reason I get this rush of energy when I snorkel, almost feels like I overcame something. I’m terrified of the ocean though so I’m hoping that snorkelling can help me overcome that fear. I personally believe that a regular mask is the best compared to the full mask but I am wanting to try to use a full mask at least once out of curiosity. Anyhow thx for the tutorial!

Hi! i have been looking at some of these masks online and many of them andvice not to dive deeper than 6ft with them. they say its because the part covering your eyes and your airways are completly seperated and therefore you cant equalize. wich will create a vacuum arround your eyes.

Yes exactly they are not good for going below the surface. Thanks for watching

Nice video! I used a full face mask for the first time yesterday in my pool and found it harder to go deep into the water. All of that air in the larger mask makes it harder to go down. Otherwise, it's pretty good.

Great information but there is one thing you didn't discuss or make clear. When you go underwater (submerge yourself ) how long can or should you stay underwater before you must or should return to the surface for fresh air? Abviously this isn't a scuba setup with a fresh air tank, so you can't just stay underwater for as long as you want. Right? So is that is the case how do you know when you need to or should come up? When it becomes difficult to breath or feel like yuo're not getting any air? Please clarify.

Hi Joe, I'm wondering if you can give me your thoughts. I bought this mask and took it to a pool to try out before I went on vacation as you suggested. I remember you talking about when you breathe in you should feel the air go across your eyes but not when you breathe out. I did experience the air across my eyes even when breathing out so not sure why. I tries 3 different masks on and different sizes and they were all the same. I also remember you talking about the dangers of carbon dioxide. After snorkeling for a bit I finished and went home. Once there I started feeling a rapid and irregular heartbeat which I ended up going to emergency for. Long story short I had to cancel my vacation last minute due to a change of medical condition that I wasn't covered for. My question to you is: Do you think I got carbon dioxide poisoning as this condition has never happened to me before? I'm not much for coincidences so I would really appreciate your thoughts.
