TESTED BY MBY DECATHLON SUBEA SNORKEL MASK

When I first clapped eyes on someone wearing one of these combination mask and snorkels, it was all I could do to stop myself laughing but given how popular they have become I decided to give one a go. I have to admit that they really are rather brilliant. There’s no wrapping your gums around a rubbery mouthpiece and remembering to breathe through your mouth. You just clamp it over your face and breathe as normal. A valve stops water entering through the snorkel when you dive under and a deflector prevents your breath from fogging up the mask. The only thing you need to ensure is that the silicone seal is a tight fit around your face so buy the right size. For the money I reckon it’s an absolute steal. hugo
