Guide to Measuring Your Face for the Perfect Scuba/Snorkel Mask Fit:

Tools Needed:

  • Hard Ruler/Measuring tape
  • Mirror
  • Pen and paper

Steps:

  1. Head Width:

    • Start by measuring the width of your forehead from one temple to the other. Place the tape above your eyebrows and across the widest part of your forehead.
  2. Cheekbone Width:

    • Measure the width of your face across your cheekbones. Start from one cheekbone, just below the outer corner of your eye, and extend the tape to the other cheekbone.
  3. Nose Bridge Height:

    • Measure the distance from the bottom of your eye socket to the bottom of your nose. This will help determine the height of the nose bridge needed for a comfortable fit.
  4. Nose Width:

    • Measure the width of your nose by placing the tape across the top of your nose, just below your eyes. This measurement is crucial to ensure the mask's nose pocket fits properly.
  5. Total Face Width:

    • Add the forehead width, cheekbone width, and twice the nose width to get the total face width. This helps ensure the mask will cover your face adequately.
  6. Distance Between Eyes:

    • Measure the distance between your eyes. Start from the inner corner of one eye and extend the tape to the inner corner of the other eye.

Tips:

  • Use a mirror to ensure accurate placement of the measuring tape.
  • Measure in centimeters or inches, based on your preference, for consistency.
  • Take each measurement a few times to ensure accuracy.
