Where's the Best Place to Buy Full Face Snorkel Masks?

by Mihai Pinzariu on September 23, 2019

Can’t resist the urge to spoil yourself with a full face snorkel mask? We understand, the temptation is insane. But with a piece of equipment like that, you want to make sure you do the necessary research before you buy. After all, the full face snorkel mask is designed to keep you safe underwater by allowing you to breathe – if you go for one that’s not manufactured properly then you could have a little problem on your hands!

Not everyone lives near a diving store and is able to go in, talk to an expert, and try on all the different equipment before buying. A lot of full face snorkel masks are available for purchase online – and a lot of them are pretty affordable, too. Some of you may be a little unsure as to where the best place to buy your snorkel mask may be. Amazon? eBay? We’re here to help you out.

Online VS Offline Shopping for a full face snorkel mask

In a perfect world, high quality full face snorkel masks would be freely available everywhere. You could just go down to your local store and pick up an awesome mask on your way to the beach. But the world is far from perfect. Diving stores aren’t as popular as they should be, and if we’re honest, they’re a little bit expensive as well!

Ideally you’d be able to walk into a diving store, speak to someone who knows their stuff, try on the snorkel mask in person, and head home with the confidence that you’ve made the right purchase. But like we said, this world isn’t really ideal. But that’s what online shopping is for. A lot more affordable than buying from a brick & mortars store (mainly due to reduced costs, not quality), online is probably the best place for most people to buy a full face snorkel mask.

That said, you don’t just go online, google ‘buy full face snorkel mask’ and purchase the cheapest one you see. There’s a lot of variances in quality when it comes to snorkel masks available online, and this is where the necessary research comes in. Think of it as if you’re the manager of a diving store, you wouldn’t just stock any old snorkel masks that someone brought over! You’d want to make sure they’re high quality, durable, and the best on the market.

The dangers of buying full face snorkel masks online

OK, so here’s why we keep talking about research, research, research. When something becomes a popular online purchase, knockoffs are aplenty. Full face snorkel masks are one of the latest dudes to hit the online shopping scene, and boy are they popular! This popularity means it’s a chance for companies to make a quick buck – and they do that by producing and selling low quality products.

Shopping online, you’ll find plenty of high quality snorkel masks that are designed and manufactured by passionate snorkelers who want to create a good product. You’ll also find a lot of cheaper products made by Chinese companies who don’t really care about snorkeling or your experience, and just want to sell a piece of plastic to make some money. Unfortunately, most people love a good deal. It can be pretty tempting to go for the cheaper knockoffs than invest a little more in buying a full face snorkel made by a legitimate company. It can be tempting, but also dangerous.

The dangers of buying a knockoff snorkel mask

The difference between knockoffs and legitimate full face snorkel masks lies in everything from the design, the materials used, the durability, the safety, and more. Knockoffs are produced quickly, with little attention to detail, while full face snorkels from legitimate companies are a product of time, testing, care, and patience.

If you go for a cheaper product, these are some possible dangers you could be dabbling in – we’re not trying to freak you out, we just want to prevent more snorkelling accidents and less shoddy snorkels beings old to innocent people!

Chemical leakage – Poor quality means the possibility of hazardous chemicals being used, and then leaking out onto your skin and in the ocean. This is because the snorkels won’t be fitted with proper medical grade materials and safe dyes,

Stop working – You’re enjoying a nice swim and the snorkel stops functioning halfway through. It’s blocked, or cracked, or there’s a small hole. Like with anything that’s cheap, it’ll be prone to breaking down,

Water leakage – When you’re manufacturing a snorkel mask, you need to make sure that every single piece slots together perfectly to prevent any air pockets where water may leak in. Cheaper brands won’t have the diligence, time, or patience to ensure such precision, making masks prone to leakage,

Poor grade silicone – We talk about our medical grade silicone, and for a good reason. Cheaper masks will use lower quality silicone, which is less flexible and therefore unable to adhere to the skin properly. Cheaper silicone can also be a little hard and painful on the skin when worn for awhile.

Just read some of the reviews for cheaper full face snorkel mask manufacturers and you’ll see what we’re talking about. A snorkel is a real piece of equipment, it needs to be made with care and attention. It’s not something that can be cheapened or easily replaced by an inferior product.

What to look for in a full face snorkel manufacturer

How do you know if a full face snorkel mask manufacturer is reliable? There are a few ways to tell:

Who – Who is the person behind the company? If there is no name, no information, it’s likely that the snorkels are cheap drop-shipped knockoffs and not the product of attention and care,

What – What is the snorkel mask made from? Check if information is given about the materials used (e.g. the type of silicone). A low quality product will rarely mention its materials as they tend to be undesirable,

Warranty – Finally, we reckon there’s no better way to ensure you’re being sold a legitimate, high quality product than if there’s a long warranty available. A warranty means a company is standing behind its product. No warranty means the company doesn’t want to be liable in case it fails, which can only mean that it’s likely to fail…

At Ninja Shark we offer a 10 Year Warranty Warranty on all of our full face snorkel masks. We’re a passionate team who has spent months and months designing, testing, and manufacturing what we reckon are the best snorkel masks on the market today. We’ve seen all the cheap knockoffs online, and we’re worried about what this might mean for the snorkel industry. It’s time people were given high quality, awesomely designed snorkeling products that are made for snorkelers, by snorkelers!

How many people dream of snorkelling but don't feel comfortable wearing a snorkel mask?

The answer is: too many! Traditional snorkel masks can be uncomfortable and scary for many people, so the beauty of snorkelling goes undiscovered and unexperienced. Whether it's breathing difficulties, choking on sea water, or foggy goggles, there's a lot that prevents people from enjoying the wonderful sport of snorkelling. And that thought makes us sad.

We think everyone should be able to enjoy the underwater world - safely, comfortably, and easily. That's why we created Ninja Shark and our revolutionary line of full face snorkel masks. They're designed to be super comfy, easy-to-use, and make snorkelling accessible for all. Because nobody should miss out on discovering what's under the sea.

What customers are saying about us…

“Awesome set.

Loved the complete set. I even used the waterproof phone pouch to take photos and videos underwater. It made my Fiji experience so much better than using the free snorkel set that hurt your face after 2hours and leaving a sun/mask mark. The ninja leaves no marks and gives great vision under water in comparison. It did take some getting used to but it definitely paid off! Only frustration is that the tightening straps are quite basic; they should be much simpler to loosen and tighten both in and out of water.” – Jock

Bloody love this!

Never snorkelled in my life. Petrified of putting my head under water. But now my neck is bad - if I don't alter the way I swim - then no more swimming for me. This has opened 'a whole new world' - (haha -that songs stuck in your head now) - to me. I'm just using my ninja gear in my gym outdoor pool atm. My legs are getting so strong - and my lungs too - as I'm doing some great breathing. I have huge surgery coming up soon - and i believe this is allowing me to get to a great level of fitness - in preparation. Honestly - i can't go on enough about this product enough. My friend bought a cheaper version. She's given it away already... say no more 🤿🤿🤿

Package : Air Adults (Mask + Fins + Bag)

Great design

This is the best snorkel mask I’ve ever had. Very comfortable on face, easy to breathe. I am not a good swimmer, it makes me feel safe and enjoy snorkelling without distraction. Thank you ninjiashark.

Best snorkel ever!!

Got one of these for me and my 7 year old daughter for Xmas. We’ve used them twice already and love them!! So much easier to breathe, can see so much and just makes the whole snorkelling experience better! Would highly recommend!

Longer Tube Full Face Snorkel Mask for Kids (3-11 Years)

Clear as day

Clear to see and easy to breathe,
Whole family loves the NinjaShark Snorkel mask.

Air Adults - Full Face Snorkel Mask for Adults

Amazing

The best snorkel and mask combination. No going back now! I could snorkel for over an hour easily. So glad I made this purchase

Mermaid

While travelling in Timor leste l met a fellow snorkeller. We snorkelled for 10 days together the food was shit but the water was stunning. The friend was using Ninja Shark fins and mask mine were steaming up, letting in water and heavy. On arriving back in Australia l ordered straight away.
I was a little bit anxious on receiving my order as the mask was quite different to my old one and the fins were short and adjustable ( l wanted them to be my size ! ) well to my luck the weather was beautiful ( yes mid winter in Mackay ) and perfect for boating so off we scooted to Cockermouth ( don't laugh it's a real place ) jumping in and WOW I'm now a mermaid 🧜‍♀️ the mask and fins felt like part of me. I actually cried as not only was the equipment allowing me to explore as l wanted but the reef was STUNNING. So lm indepted to Ninja Shark for making me the mermaid l always aspired to be 🧜‍♀️

(DRAFT) Package: Dry Snorkel (Set + Fins + Bag)

Took it to Tahiti

I wasn’t quite sure about getting a full face mask but bought mine (Electra package) before a trip to Tahiti which we got home from yesterday - absolutely LOVED it!!! I’ll be getting one for my wife before our next trip to a similar destination. BTW I make LOTS of crazy videos with lots of toys.

Life changing

I do love my full face snorkel.. the freedom of nose breathing under the water.. the meditative and relaxative effect of this snorkeling is unexpected and great. Fits so well.. comfy to wear for long time.. highly recommend

Super quality & fit

So happy we got Ninja shark, perfect for Great barrier reef snorkel day.
Flippers, mask, dry wallet, carry bag (good quality bag), anti fog spray, happy days.

Ninja Shark Kids Mask

We recently brought the Ninja Shark Kids 3-11 Mask + Fins + Bag package for our 7 year old who absolutely loves it! Will be buying three more for the rest of the family. 😊

Package: Longer Tube (Mask + Fins + Bag) 3-11 Years

Even better than expected!

I saw the kids full face snorkel masks online, and thought they looked pretty cool. I ordered two for Christmas, for my 3 and 6 year olds. Wow, did they have a great time with them!

I wasn't sure how the 3 year old would go with it, but he was comfortable in it almost immediately, and spent hours swimming around and seeing a whole new world of underwater scenery.

They were easy to fit, zero issues with them staying on. No leaks or fog.

They can't wait to get back to the water!

Highly recommend this product :)

mask swimming

The mask did exactly what was stated. I was very happy and will get another mask for my daughter.

Great way to swim

I have NEVER been able to snorkel but love swimming. These full face snorkels are an absolute game changer in my life. Now I try to swim around 5 kms a week in the local pool. The Ninja mask makes it easy to do laps. I’ve been using the Ninja Shark for a quite few years and find the new Electra the best full face mask ever. No leaks, no fog and really easy to use and great quality. I’ve noticed my regular chats with other swimmers at the pool have encouraged many of them to purchase one of their own. I’ve given my older models to my grandkids and they love them too.

Fabulous

I got one for the 3 year old and one for the 5 year old, I thought maybe the 3 year old would get the hang of it eventually but they both loved it and mastered it pretty quickly. We’ve only used in the swimming pool, excited to go snorkeling in the ocean soon. Great product.

Love it!

Amazing product ! Have the electra package, kids love it. So easy to use. Highly recommend

Love it

Bought these for myself and my husband after getting the full face masks for the kids, and they were so good we’re getting them for the rest of the extended family for Xmas. The fact u can dive down and not get water down ur snorkel is a brilliant bonus! Makes our family holidays much easier and better without snorkel dramas!

This made our holiday

The product itself was amazing, but the service we received allowed us to get our 2 sets of masks for our cruise. We took them with us and used them multiple times for snorkelling on our cruise to Nouméa and New Caledonia. It was amazing snorkelling and being able to breathe easily, and the fins were the most comfortable I've ever used. I've got size 13 feet, and not only were they completely adjustable, but they were THE most comfortable fins ever invented. A massive shoutout to Colleen Zamora from your support staff who helped me out and made it possible to take our gear on holidays! Thanks Colleen!

Package: Equaliser PRO (Mask + Fins + Bag)

My kids love them

I’ve got three of these masks for my younger kids, however the oldest wants one too as the young ones rave about how good the are.

Summer Family Fun

Our Ninja masks have made snorkelling as a whole family very easy and enjoyable. The kids (and parents) find them super easy to use and have allowed us as a family of five to snorkel for longer than we ever could using traditional snorkel gear. I would highly recommend these masks.

Lifetime warranty

Glad I have but haven’t needed to use .. yet

Great Mask

Love this mask. Kids find it so much easier snorkelling with the Ninja Shark. The snorkel mask is super clear and doesn’t fog up. The adjustable straps are great and easy to loosen and tighten. Very happy that we made the decision to get these for the kids.

A must for snorkelers!

Recently purchased the Equaliser Pro Mask, Finns and bag. 🤿 🐠🐡🐟🦈 Had an amazing time snorkeling off Fitzroy Island, the Pro mask allowed me to explore for over 7 hours. Higly recommend! Planning must next snorkeling trip! 🤿💦🌴☀️

awsome

we used our new masks over the weekend. they were amazing, my daughter barely had her head out of the water all day.

life warranty

This is great! More stores should do it!

Fantastic snorkel!

Our 5 year old has never snorkelled. Put it on and was snorkelling no problem straight away! Easy for him to put on and off by himself. We bought the full package with flippers (also amazing and he can put them on by himself) and the two wet bags. The foldable snorkel is so handy for storing while we are travelling. And the lifetime warranty gives us great comfort that we can use it for future trips! We are so impressed with this product I’m going to get mum and dad one too!
