You missed one item that I'm really hard pressed to find on your gear list. You had an extendable bracket that you put your tablet into, then hooked that up to the tripod. Where can I get that extendable bracket for the tablet as I have a 10 inch tablet?

This guy deserves more subs for the obvious effort he puts into his vids

[@GivesAMinute]

Thank you Billy. Really appreciate this!

[@CyberSoldierD19]

if you don't want to share all you have to do is use Vaseline on your beard! in times of war or training that's what we use for our gas masks in the U.S. Military!

Hahah!! That is brilliant :) I will remember this!

[@MooTheBull]

Laksh

[@GivesAMinute]

Huh?

[@minidwarfdude9230]

GivesAMinute Apply Vaseline to your beard man

[@GivesAMinute]

Good tip. Never heard of that before actually!

[@thatkidminor9864]

You've had so much success since this video and that makes me so happy. This is my first of your videos that I've watched and I thought you were some big KZbinr because of your stunning quality and then you say that all you have is 410 subs. It's humbling and so so refreshing to see someone who doesn't do it for the number of subs rather than the quality of the video

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks Kid :) I really appreciate the nice vibes man! Made my day!

[@impro7090]

Yep. 4 years later he has 23.6k subscribers

[@jbeanp1]

Idk if I'm weird or what not but for me, to equalize, I just yawn

[@GivesAMinute]

For some people this works on land, for some it work both on land and under water - for me it only works on land.

[@thehandgrenade3491]

GivesAMinute I don't have to yawn, but I can equalize on land, sea, and air.

[@gameydudex]

Nicolas Perez what do you mean by air? Do you mean like on a plane?

[@xxredgamer2646]

Gameydudex no he means flapping your arm flaps😂

[@gameydudex]

xxredgamer lol

[@OTHERVERSETCG]

Did you run toothpaste and soap in the mask ?? That is how you make sure it doesn't fog up

[@GivesAMinute]

There's no need to with this one according to it's specs.

[@hrandolph1]

baby shampoo works.

[@GivesAMinute]

But I have't had any problem with fogging up with this mask.

[@martialme84]

you fucking said in the video that fogging IS a problem! dislike for sure.

[@GivesAMinute]

To be fair, I said it's not really a huge problem and the mask is advertised as anti-fog. After one use I would suggest the fogging isn't the issue with this mask.

[@rickweldon1]

The intent of the Tribord (as many others have noted here) is to make it easier for kids and those who feel claustrophobic with a conventional mask/snorkel. As a lifelong scuba diver, it is pretty obvious this isn't a mask you'd want to go deep enough to equalize with -- it just won't work. And no, not everyone wants to dive below a couple of meters. Many are happy to just enjoy the view from the surface. My wife loves to snorkel but has always had problems with traditional mask/snorkel setups. We got one for her and it has worked brilliantly for a year now -- fog free, easy to breathe -- all the things the company legitimately claims. We live in Thailand so go snorkeling fairly regularly. From our perspective as long-time users -- two thumbs up.

[@GivesAMinute]

Agree Rick, this is meant for kids and surface dwellers more than anyone else. Interestingly their photo of demonstrated usage on their website shows under the surface use: www.wildhornoutfitters.com/products/seaview-180-full-face-easybreath-snorkel-masks that may be where confusion begins?

[@rickweldon1]

Agreed -- the only thing I would point out is that the photo you show isn't Tribord's, but rather Wildhorn's. The photo at the Tribord official site shows people (and children) all on the surface. www.tribord.co.uk/snorkelling-masks-and-snorkels-idfam1671 I think the rule of common sense should apply here, and sadly many don't apply that rule often enough :-)

[@GivesAMinute]

Very true Rick :) Thanks for jumping in here.

[@mrix]

I looked at this video 3 years ago when you released it for the first time, fascinating look back through it again, your editing in this video was very good, very to the point and you presented so very well, I am not surprised in the slightest this video done so well for you, you put a lot of effort into this video and it paid off, well done, mrix

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks very much mate :)

[@jonstreeter1540]

That flaw is also a deal breaker for me. Thanks for your review 😀👍

[@GivesAMinute]

My pleasure Jon. Cheers for your comment and I'm glad I could help!

[@DansTubeTV]

Fantastic video, I love your editing style! This was a very thorough and well developed video :)

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks very much Dans! Really appreciate it!

[@Bman87]

Around the nose area they could use a flexible plastic or something so that you can equalize while keeping it 360, With the anti fog thing Id say that they shouldnt put it on the box because every mask is gonna fog up eventually unless your talented. give a like if you agree

[@GivesAMinute]

I totally agree with this man. They could easily have made the plastic malleable around the nose piece. Weird they didn't!! I liked because of this comment :)

[@shazbarton4340]

Greatest Ever you can now get them so you can squeeze your nose

[@James0u812]

Or you could just get a separate mask and snorkel and take 10min to learn how to use it.

[@gefeize]

it feels like watching ozzy man reviews on full face snorkel mask. this is awesome. very entertaining and informative

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks a lot! I love that guy! He does some great stuff :) Cheers for the compliment! :)

[@alexbainbridge7160]

Did I miss the part where he said what's wrong with the 180 snorkel

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks Alex, it's around the 5 minute mark from memory. Cheers for the support man.

[@spadasword7561]

just feels wasted time to looking the "wrong point",and missed which sec …..actually we everybody may busy. play people not really cool

[@chrism3565]

No beard no fu that's what he said

[@peterjoyce71]

Alex Bainbridge . He noted there is no way to pinch your nose, as you would before gentley trying to blow air through your nose to equalise your ears (called the valsalva manouver).

[@baxterhurley5032]

You cant equalise through your noise.

[@Amlik]

I can actually equalize without using my hands. So this mask looks good.

[@GivesAMinute]

Totally! If you can do that without pinching your nose then this thing will be great for you!

[@doctor-xp1nx]

Amlik i thought i was the only one. I even do it without touching anything.

[@doctor-xp1nx]

Amlik i thought i was the only one. I even do it without touching anything.

[@davidmartin-corkill4051]

For those of you considering getting a full face mask, there have been some concerns in parts of the world as to their safety e.g. carbon dioxide inhalation. It appears that a number of countries are looking at this issue, Australia amongst others.

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks David :) It's good for everyone to be informed. I did cover one particular safety concern I have on these masks in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIarp3mAbN-LpM0

[@brandonniedert3155]

You have 3k and you have video quality like this is truly incredible keep up the good work man, earned my sub. 😜

[@GivesAMinute]

Thank you so much Brandon :)

[@buttmongrel8240]

I'm going snorkeling in Costa Rica soon!!! I'm new to snorkeling, so what were you talking about with the nose holding, and exchanging it? Thanks. loved the footage and the review!

[@GivesAMinute]

Cheers Tommy :) Check this video for a few different options and the nose clip suggestion tested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIarp3mAbN-LpM0

[@perkarlsson4915]

What about residual volume?

[@GivesAMinute]

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking Per?

[@perkarlsson4915]

Oh, sorry. Residual volume is the amount of air that is not exchanged during breathing. It is also called "dead space". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_space_(physiology) Imagine breathing through a vacuum hose, and that you do not exhale through your nose but have to do all breathing through your mouth. If the hose is long enough, thus holding big enough volume, you are in effect breathing the same air over and over again. No new air gets mixed in. In effect you could just as well be breathing into a plastic bag. Now that would be an extreme condition. But all volume that you add to your air column increases the dead space/residual volume, and makes the gas exchange during breathing less effective. The internal volume of a snorkel should not exceed... I think it is about 200 ml for an adult and less for a child, but this mask seems to hold way more volume than that.

[@GivesAMinute]

Hmmm, I don't think this mask actually works like that - you cannot go underwater and continue to breath the air within the mask and snorkel (it's just not working like that). So I think this doesn't really affect it's usability (or safety), but a good point to bring up Per!

[@nealskrenes2612]

You don't have to go under water for this to be a problem. www.saltydogs.com/full-face-snorkel-mask-death-11344/

[@GivesAMinute]

That is really sad to read. Terrible news. Sorry for their families loss :(

[@iamGLantern]

hey bud, kinda like the idea of doing a review and vlogging at the same time. Nice vid. liked and subbed you. 👍

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks so much Hanz :) Really appreciate the support man!

[@Adam.Lloyd71]

I just bought one thanks for this video, very informative!

[@GivesAMinute]

Awesome adam! Glad I could be of help for you!

[@serbianpropagandaminister3557]

Can i just put something to pimch my nose constantly before puting the mask so i can exualise?

[@GivesAMinute]

I tired that here Serbian: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIarp3mAbN-LpM0

[@corycormier9574]

clean the mask with toothpaste real well otherwise it will always fog

[@GivesAMinute]

Got it :) Will do this for sure :)

[@Logface88]

cory cormier why toothpaste?

[@GivesAMinute]

Tried this and it didn't work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIarp3mAbN-LpM0

[@corycormier9574]

when you think you're done keep scrubbing

[@corycormier9574]

when you first get the mask it is dirty when you clean it with toothpaste real well it cleans it/buffs it.

[@onmymind8140]

only youtuber who wont cringe at their old videos at the future

[@GivesAMinute]

Awwww thanks man!! That's a nice comment!! :)

[@onmymind8140]

GivesAMinute No problem

[@MAPAHaus5]

I've used gas mask for work and I would think that tends to work similar. Therefore, wouldn't having facial hair let the water in?

[@GivesAMinute]

Not really, I mean I couldn't feel any water coming in from the chin area.

[@BradChadley]

I like you. You're to the point, you don't try too hard to be entertaining or funny, and you reply to comments probably more than you need to. Subscribing 👍🏽

[@GivesAMinute]

Ahhhh, thanks so much Brett!! I love reading a comment like this! I do spend a long time replying to comments, but I feel that is important as this is a community I am trying to build and it only happens when people start connecting :) Thanks so much for the support man!

[@Whiskey10209]

This is a great mask for casually floating along the surface with children and girlfriends that are a little claustrophobic , freaked out by the water anyway.(speaking from experience here.) I've found that the air trapped inside of the mask makes you (or at least your head) much more buoyant and thus; difficult to submerge beyond a few feet anyway. Actually , another plus for kids. Worth the reasonable price point depending on the application. Not for serious snorkeling but fun anyways.

[@GivesAMinute]

Yazoo, your second point is a very good one, one that I neglected to mention - that extra bit of buoyancy actually helps keep people (like me) afloat also! For the life of me I've never, ever been able to float on water unless I'm treading water, with this thing on I can literally lay on my stomach on the surface like a normal person would on their back! Great!!!

[@gamerking-jq5wi]

1:34 listen VERY VERY carefully... you should hear a very high pitch noise

[@GivesAMinute]

What's your computer setup?

[@logey9638]

GivesAMinute i hear it too and I'm on iPhone 6s+

[@gamerking-jq5wi]

GivesAMinute what do you mean by that

[@piercer7295]

Oml I heard it!!

[@gamerking-jq5wi]

GivesAMinute I used to record my tv and just crop out my room but now I have a recording software for my computer so pretty soon I’m going to record with apowersoft screen recorder which records my mac’s screen

[@jackiedillon9418]

I am looking to buy a snorkeling mask for my father who is 72 but snorkels in Thailand regularly. I note your review of the seaview 180 but would like a recommendation if you have one?

[@GivesAMinute]

Unfortunately I don't have a recommendation for you Jackie, except to say I do not recommend this mask!

[@theseabeangallery5374]

Thanks a mil, great review and very useful.

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks so much Seabean! Glad to have been a help! :)

[@htraygo]

I thought this mask let you breath underwater

[@GivesAMinute]

Nope, not at all!! Don't be confused by the sketchy marketing - you cannot breathe underwater with this!

[@superchargedzues4307]

GivesAMinute with mine I I breath in slowly and for about 15 to 30 second also if you spit inside of the mask it stops fogging up :)

[@GivesAMinute]

I guess you can take a second breath, but it's not really recommended as you are breathing in the air you exhaled already!

[@superchargedzues4307]

GivesAMinute true btw you can also buy stuff for the fogging and if you want I can send you some my dad would go diving for logs in Wisconsin so he use some of this stuff so he bought me some so when I go snorkeling on a vacation my mask doesn't fog up

[@GivesAMinute]

I gave the mask away so don't have access to it anymore :( But thanks for the offer and the suggestion :)

[@punker844]

about 12 mins too long

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks for stopping by with your thoughts Jon.

[@the.magnus]

Lol savage

[@hannibalhendrix3523]

Atticus-R funny

[@DeadeyeLefty]

Coming from diving, I think a big air pocket on your face would mess with your bouyancy while you're trying to stay head-down. Another way to equalize that would work with this mask is to turn one ear upward and massage your Eustachian tube in the hollow spot right below your ear. And +1 on the spit for anti-fogging. Doesn't this mask draw fresh incoming air over the inside of the lens like a gas mask ? Thx for the vid mate. I was thinking about one of these but I don't think so now.

[@GivesAMinute]

The air pocket is something I hadn't considered, but yes it's a real problem DL. It makes it almost impossible to submerge yourself!! I did try a few different methods of equalisation here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6mtZmuihsSUY5o but it didn't work for me mate :(

[@SmokeyJones]

Can you use nose plugs in the mask to equalize?

[@blu2194]

Was anyone else just staring at the fly on his back at 5:30?

[@acejagare753]

That high pitched noise destroyed my ears. Had to shut off, not even 30 seconds in the video... :/

[@GivesAMinute]

Not everyone hears it, sorry you do.

[@GivesAMinute]

Can those who hear it please tell me their computer setup?

[@schom7]

Ace Jagare I really don't hear it

[@ausintune9014]

youtube won't display more then 16kHz without headphones

[@GivesAMinute]

Interesting Ausintune... So what you are saying is unless you are using headphone you won't hear it?

[@FishyDaGamer]

I never had a snorkel, but if the little tube thing is under the water can you breathe? Because I have no idea how it works... Or can you only breath when the tube is out in the air

[@GivesAMinute]

You cannot breathe underwater with this thing at all. It looks like you can from their advertising, but that is misleading.

[@bethtyler1812]

ok so let's say you can equalize your ears with out holding your nose, what happens as the water pressure increases and you need to equalize your mask could you do it or would it just can't?

[@GivesAMinute]

I just tried again (vlog coming) and you can't. None of the methods mentioned here worked for me. I gave the mask away.

[@yunusozturk4695]

You look like Malcom Turnbull

[@GivesAMinute]

For real? I don't think so, which one here: www.google.com.au/search?q=malcolm+turnbull&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj_z6bwx9rTAhWFnZQKHTzfBFcQ_AUICygC&biw=1661&bih=903&dpr=2

[@AJFolino]

1k🎉

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks AJ :)

[@willufish]

how about nose plugs. put them on so when you need to pressurize, the nose plugs would be like pinching your nose and breath out gently. do you think that would work?

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks buddy, I tried a few different methods here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIarp3mAbN-LpM0

[@garethconway8717]

This guy is right: I bought 3 different brands at different prices but they all appeared to be essentially the identical design, materials, etc. They all leaked a little bit especially when submerging the snorkel. They all fogged considerably even when I used copious amounts of saliva and no-fog product. I was somewhere where the snorkeling was heavenly. Thank god I brought a couple good standard dive masks which worked flawlessly in "serious" conditions. These full face masks are fun but the novelty wears off quickly. I would like to try a Tribord or one of the more expensive ones to see if they are any better...

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks Gareth :) It's nice to have someone who has tried a bunch of them contribute their thoughts! I have heard from a reputable source there is an update coming to the Seaview 180 that will address a bunch of concerns. I was also in talks with Tribord to test their product but the conversation ended on their behalf :(

[@CDawgIZBeast]

Your drivers seat is on the wrong side

[@GivesAMinute]

How is it "wrong"?

[@thepotatojuicer8245]

GivesAMinute actually it is on the right side

[@LGBethany]

CDawgIZBeast Actually in America the drivers seat is on the left. And in England it's on the right. So it's not wrong.

[@RadarLakeKosh]

What about Australia, where he lives?

[@sebstarzzz1964]

BENP same thing, i live there

[@DoobSac]

These masks suck to breathe in. Doesn't feel like you can get a full clear breath.

[@GivesAMinute]

I didn't notice that, but overall I wasn't a fan of the mask.

[@vanessanunez8241]

GivesAMinute because you take back in alot of the air you exhaled into it

[@GivesAMinute]

I understand this is also quite dangerous!!

[@vanessanunez8241]

GivesAMinute can't be that bad. people wear altitude masks for training all the time. I'm just not a fan of inhaling my exhale lol

[@GivesAMinute]

Heheh! This is fair enough!! It's not the nicest thing to think of doing :)

[@Maria-tl9lw]

It's good that this video exist since I just ordered this and couldn't find any reviews to see if it was good and it's nice to know it's pretty good

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks so much Maria :) I really appreciate the nice words!! Thanks so much!

[@kellyash45]

I totally forgot to mention that once your mask is properly prepared and clean Dawn, the dish washing liquid, and J&J tear free baby shampoo are some of the most popular defoggers at dive shops because of the low cost and equal effectiveness of retail defoggers. My top choices for mask defoggers are: 1 - spit - it's free and. works great, as long as you haven't been drinking coffee. The downside is you're putting spit in your mask and that can be kinda gross for some people. 2 - Johnson and Johnson Baby Shampoo - doesn't burn your eyes if you dont clean it out well. 3 - Dawn Dish Washing Liquid - widely available, cheap and effective

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks for the tips Kelly :) I would certainly try these methods sometime soon (back in Australia now where it's winter, so perhaps in the warmer months!)

[@sisvslilsisbig4035]

[@sf2cz]

Where you get camera holder for this mask? Becuase normal model is without this holder.. Thanks a lot for answer..

[@GivesAMinute]

The Seaview 180 comes standard with a GoPro mount sf2cz, check the link in the video description.

[@janetathensbay]

Thank you for your very informative and interesting video. I live in Greece, and have just shot my first underwater video with my camera attached to a full-face mask. I found that it is imperative to have your face properly positioned under the water for the camera to always be filming underwater! duh! Practice makes perfect. What are your thoughts on the Co2 build-up in these full face masks? Anytime you are in Greece, drop me a line..Kalimera

[@GivesAMinute]

Awww thanks so much Janet :) Really appreciate you stopping by with such a lovely comment! And yes, I fell prey to that not having your head under enough for the correct GoPro angle!! Live and learn :) My thoughts on the CO2 problem is to never strain yourself, never snorkel out of your depth and never snorkel alone. That way you have someone watching you and keeping you safe. Btw, Greece sounds amazing! I've always wanted to go there!

[@janetathensbay]

If you come to Greece, I could show you some pretty awesome places...here is a link to the first video I made at Cape Sounion. There is an amazing ancient wall there, if you wait till the end of the video, you can see it more clearly. Next video will be better, hopefully....facebook.com/janetathensbay

[@GivesAMinute]

Awesome! I'll keep that in mind for sure! It's always been on my list of places to go. I'm following you on Facebook now :) Ancient wall looks cool!!

[@SnowmansApartment]

Beance Tubaire Voluntaire (BTV) or Voluntary Tubal Opening is the preferred method of equalization once mastered. It feels very much like a yawn and a difference in tonal quality of sounds will be noticed when successful. The muscles of the upper throat are used to pull open the Eustachian tube.

[@GivesAMinute]

Cheers man :) I tried a few different methods of equalisation here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIarp3mAbN-LpM0

[@kayairmak6149]

For the part where you said that the snorkel mask is not used for depth. All you can do to not pressure your face is to hold your breath until you go your desired point below the surface and while down there exhale from your nose or mouth for as long as possible until you can get back up into the surface.

[@GivesAMinute]

Kaya, that doesn't change the pressure of the water building up the deeper you go, but it does sound like a good way to control/slow down your heart rate.

[@ib032011]

To equalized,can try before put on the mask? Or do it with holding on breath?

[@GivesAMinute]

Nah man, it's not possible as you need to continually equalise as you snorkel around. It's not a one-off thing you do once during a snorkel.

[@zackrosenthal]

I bought it and tightened it as much as i could but lots of water still got in. Any advice??

[@GivesAMinute]

Sorry to hear that Testing. I have no further advice for this unfortunately. I think there is no way to stop the leaking issues :(

[@martinarnaud1266]

first time subscriber. double👍👍. love this video. cause I was planning to get one of them mask to use in cancun. keep up the great work

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks so much Martin!! Cheers for the support man!

[@HalcyonVoid]

One of the reasons I like living in the US, is most products I order are being shipped from the US (After their initial delivery from china or wherever, to suppliers), so delivery times are often within 5 days max.

[@GivesAMinute]

Yeah and you guys can also expedite shipping to make it even quicker! Strangely enough whenever I order through Amazon to ship to Australia I am amazed at how cheap the actual shipping cost is? I guess they deal with such large volumes they have a discount setup...

[@lilak6723]

IS The Seaview 180 Full Face Snorkel Mask Worth to Buy? I am thinking to buy for my 6 years old daughter.

[@GivesAMinute]

Sure, for your 6 year old I am positive she will enjoy it!

[@jnauttube]

As a scubadiver-- per the fogging, can you clear it when underwater? Also, on the equalizing, they need to design a rubber nose piece with some kind of access through the front of the mask. Not sure how they'd engineer this.

[@GivesAMinute]

Thans Jnau, I have seen this happen underwater and it blows me away whenever someone does it! I don't think I am skilled enough to do it tho :( Agree with you about the rubber nose piece! Good idea!

[@phtevenchevas3960]

Have you tried a yawning action to equalize with the mask on?

[@GivesAMinute]

Yeah Phteven, I tried that exact thing here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIarp3mAbN-LpM0

[@timpage5021]

Yea that works. You can also equalize by tilting your head back and swallowing hard.

[@virtualassassin9290]

There is a brand called body glove that has a full face snorkel with a rubberized nose so you can equalize

[@GivesAMinute]

I was in talks with them a while back, it went no where.

[@yaiyasmin]

I saw this face mask a year ago in a sports shop and thought it’s really funny! Might get one when I start getting into snorkelling again! Subbed 😊

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks very much Yaiyasmin! I'd recommend you pick up this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/parVeK2Nat2chNE Cheers for the support on my channel!

[@JacobBelanioProductions]

Dang! You grew quick! You had 500 in January and now have 2k in June! I'm a new subscriber btw

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks very much Jacob :) Stoked to have you on board!!

[@goonlee]

So would you recommend this for a beginner?

[@GivesAMinute]

I would only recommend this for someone with direct adult supervision that is happy to stay on the surface and only use it for a short time :)

[@maldarling1244]

What's the name or where's the music for 7:25 from? There's many music under Spike vibes but can't find the specific one used here... It's so good!

[@GivesAMinute]

Check the description.

[@killerdot234]

Thank you for the review now I can get mine

[@GivesAMinute]

Great! Please use the link in the description, you will help me out :)

[@isaaccristobal4816]

If you keep up these vids I know you will be big one day much respect thanks for making this vid

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks very much Isaac :) Appreciate the support man!

[@workerworkers4068]

How does that snorkel operate? How many breaths can you do before it starts sucking up water? Cos the ad on Instagram claims one can breathe underwater, but doesn't specify how long that would breathing will go for. Cheers for the video, very enjoyable sights of Australia!

[@GivesAMinute]

I guess the way it operates is detailed in the video, but "before it starts sucking up water" is a strange way to say before the snorkel seals and no air comes in? You cannot suck water in through the snorkel on these masks, and you cannot breathe underwater with these masks. Cheers for the nice comment mate!

[@saulty-4726]

One question does it store air inside from when the snorkel was above the water and then you dive and use it

[@GivesAMinute]

Hi Sean, no not at all. This is a misconception, you cannot breathe underwater with this mask :)

[@dtom1145]

Good on ya! Thanks for the info.

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks a lot D :) Appreciate the comment!

[@kwhatten]

I have the original Decathlon Easybreathe and it doesn't fog up at all. But, I still can't dive very far down and on surface snorkeling often a wave will cause the dry snorkel to lock closed and then momentarily you can't breathe!

[@GivesAMinute]

Ouch! That sounds like a terrible thing to have happen!!! Scary!!

[@spoonerpurple]

were you supposed to do something with the plastic to make it not fog first ?

[@GivesAMinute]

Nah Jennie, the mask is sold as anti fog right out of the package, so there is nothing to be done.

[@XavierLeong]

I bought one of these from a store vender in Thailand and love it!

[@GivesAMinute]

Nice! Glad you are enjoying the snorkelling Xavier!! :)

[@alexandereycken7320]

Your videos are great and you have a great personality! Just subscribed!

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks so much Alexander! Really appreciate the good vibes man :)

[@OceanChan]

do those masks make it difficult to equalise?

[@GivesAMinute]

Yeah, I mention this in the video :)

[@DEVIL-vk3lw]

Thanks for mentioning the equalization thing because i was waiting to see how i could equalize while diving ;)

[@GivesAMinute]

No problem General :) Glad to be of help!

[@DEVIL-vk3lw]

GivesAMinute i heard from my friend that there are something that you should put into your nose and some other company's in your ears to help you equalize while diving .

[@GivesAMinute]

Yeah I had heard of the nose clamp method too and tried it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIarp3mAbN-LpM0 It didn't work :(

[@DEVIL-vk3lw]

GivesAMinute omg thanks for telling me that so that i won't wast my money buying it .. i am a big fan of diving deep :)

[@GivesAMinute]

My pleasure man! Glad I could help!

[@evanwynn5762]

Is it weird that I can equalize without holding my nose

[@GivesAMinute]

It's not weird - you have a talent!!

[@tsuteytausaafia5362]

Same

[@davem5308]

I have just been watching a bunch of vids on these new fangled snorkel masks, and I am wondering if they could be multi purpose, like outfitted creatively as emergency respirators in bad air type circumstances? I was always no good as a kid with snorkeling, and never have snorkeled as an adult, but I would do so, with some of these new snorkel masks. They are really pretty damn cool!

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks Dave. It's a good question. I actually am not sure if they could be used that way, but I am sure someone has tried!

[@MrAnonymozz]

I really enjoyed your video! Great content, great entertainment and a great person for what it seems like! You just earned yourself another subscriber😄

[@GivesAMinute]

Ahhh thank you so much buddy! :) welcome on board!

[@DjJtown]

Good test drive & unboxing but you didn't say how much or if it leaked. I don't have a beard but I have an awesome Fumanchu down to the Adams apple so that's why I'd like to know how much it leaks. Also, about your home brew. You said it was an English style but I've never heard of beer for a couple of months. Could you also post a link to that (the home brew) also?

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks mate :) Yeah it leaked a little - you can see it running down the inside of the mask as I use it. How much exactly I am not 100% sure, but my face was not dry after use. That English stye home brew was this one mate: www.aussiebrewmakers.com.au/Coopers-English-Bitter.html?ref_cat_id=home-brew-Coopers-International If you do make one yourself let me know how it tastes!

[@apachurraleproduccion9490]

Can you walk around with it for a bit see if it fogs up and can you breath with it

[@GivesAMinute]

I do not have it any longer mate, but good question :)

[@gamerpolice6274]

I love this channel tho I wish he would do more reviews like this keep up the good work! 😃

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks so much Gauge :) I'm in Fiji right now and working on a follow-up video with the suggestions everyone has made here for the Seaview 180, then I also have another product to test while here...

[@xxxsanyeo]

I hate popping my ears. Ive never equalized my ears and just thought my ears hurt cause i had sensitive ears due to tons of ear infections and ruptures. Does it actually hurt? And the air condenses in your ear so putting more air than rising up wont bust your eardrum? Confusing and shady to me.

[@GivesAMinute]

Wow, if you never equalise I can't imagine the pain it would cause in the long term!! There's no pain involved in equalising... shame you cannot do it!

[@xxxsanyeo]

GivesAMinute Under water i shouldve said. I cant hold my nose and blow cause im honestly scared. But like airplanes and high altitudes I yawn and chew gum and it helps.

[@GivesAMinute]

Ahhh yeah, that makes more sense :) I'd recommend the holding of the nose technique for underwater. It's really not that difficult (assuming you are NOT wearing the Seaview 180!)

[@kidkittrell9046]

I can equalise my ears by command, so-to-speak. I don't need to yawn or hold my nose or swallow. Does anyone know what this is called?

[@GivesAMinute]

That's awesome Kid!! Some people can do this and some can't, you've definitely got a skill there!!

[@sangadji08]

can I use this with a noseclipper to equalize?

[@GivesAMinute]

Hmmm, Sangadji, it's a good question. I actually tried that very thing here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIarp3mAbN-LpM0 and for me it didn't work :(

[@tloughyourbro5204]

Wait I have always wondered can you breath under water with snorkel? I always see people go under water and it looks like they breathe out a lot of air

[@GivesAMinute]

Tlough, you cannot breath underwater with this mask :( Sorry to be the bearer of bad news man :(

[@thatkidminor9864]

Also figuring out you're a photographer makes everything so much better

[@GivesAMinute]

Yeah!!! Photographers for the win!

[@leokimvideo]

Your lucky I never was able to connect to a brand. Sadly I point out whats wrong with products! I do a a friend who developed a distortion free scuba visor. He's now builds small desalination units for boats. Maybe you know him from this info. I know it's a small world. When I look at a channel I go to the most popular video and the least popular. Been doing that for years now!

[@GivesAMinute]

Oddly enough this video was what kicked started all brand deals for my channel. And it's been responsible for the bulk of the growth. I didn't even want to make this video or buy the mask but a friend was excited by the product. So I bought one and reluctantly went down to the Royal National Park to test it. Then BAM, things kicked in and views started coming. It's weird how it worked for me!

[@mikedimond8816]

How did you find a round one all the ones on Amazon from Seaview are flat faced

[@GivesAMinute]

No idea Mike, was just what they shipped me when I ordered?

[@Unsocial200]

Maybe if u burn a bit the inside glass of the mask with lighter it wont fog again. This method is used on new typical masks i dont know if it will work with that as well.

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks! I'm not sure how confident I would feel taking a lighter to it tho!

[@xternalpunk]

I have had one for 2 years.. first time I used it. It sealed and was perfect. After that it never sealed around my nose and always fogged.

[@GivesAMinute]

Thats a shame to hear So-Crates. Has there been any changes to your face?

[@SoldierDemps]

Can you not equalize plugging your nose before you mask up? Breath through mouth

[@GivesAMinute]

Hey Demps. I actually tried that right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIarp3mAbN-LpM0

[@clashofpros9431]

I'm a kid 10 years old should I buy one yes ot no and can you breath in it under water

[@GivesAMinute]

No I would not recommend buying one of these masks unless you plan on using it with full adult supervision. No, you cannot breathe underwater with this mask.

[@OceanPictures]

I wasnt a fan when I tried these. I liked regular snorkel masks better. What happens if you breathe out underwater then surface but dont have enough breath to clear the snorkel? Using a regular mask you just take the snorkel out of your mouth and breathe but with this mask you cant exactly do that and there's the equalization issue as well.

[@GivesAMinute]

Hi Ocean, well the thing with these masks is you never actually have to "clear" the snorkel as no water comes down the snorkel tube - there's a stop valve ball in the top that works with gravity to prevent any water flow. However, if there is any water that has entered through the mask it simply drains out the bottom around your chin area. That much they have worked out really well, but yeah the equalisation thing....

[@cytherians]

I've found even masks that come with some kind of anti-fog coating on the lens will eventually fog up. Dedicated anti-fog ointment will help, but results vary dramatically from brand to brand. I've found that anti-dandruff shampoo works best (spread it thinly, let dry, then rinse off). Toothpaste is abrasive and I would only try it on tempered glass, not plastic. These full face masks should be only for surface snorkeling and have adequate warnings to that effect. But I expect there will be inherent problems with people not heeding that advice, creating tragic ends for some.

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks cytherians. I've heard the same thing about the anti-dandruff shampoo. Good to hear someone else recommending it! How funny is it that a lot fo people here recommend the toothpaste method, however that is totally incorrect as you mentioned the abrasive nature of it!! Agree again, these masks can potentially be disastrous if not supervised!

[@andrikmartinez1214]
