Full face for snorkeling - such a simple design

While the full face mask has been around for scuba divers for decades, a full face mask for snorkeling is relatively new. While some scuba diving purists are going to hate it, the fact is, the snorkeling market is much larger than the the scuba diving market and any device that makes your customers more comfortable in the water can only be a bonus.


The sad fact is, most dive shops don't cater for snorkelers and tend to take a very condescending attitude whilst trying to sell entry-level scuba diving courses, "well maybe you can upgrade to scuba in the future." The fact is, many of these people are happy snorkeling and don't want to become a scuba diver, you just pissed off a larger market than your current crop of scuba divers. 


The Easybreath Mask produced by the French sports manufacturer Tribord isn't for serious skin diving requiring dives to depth, it is produced solely for the snorkeling market that is distinguished by maintaining their position on the surface with maybe short shallow dives from the surface - I reckon it is a great product.
