Which Full Face Snorkel Mask is the Best?

A truly passionate snorkeler would never invest in equipment that wasn’t worth their time. Maybe a newbie wouldn’t mind putting up with a leaky snorkel and tight fitting mask, but if you’re out in the water often, you want the good stuff. Here at Ninja Shark we get a lot of enquiries from avid snorkelers looking for ‘the best’ snorkel mask out there. You’re dedicated people and you want to use equipment that will heighten your experience, make snorkelling somehow even greater than it already is.

The truth is, though, that there’s no one ‘best’ snorkel mask out there. Maybe if there were some kind of international awards competition where one brand was crowned as the top snorkel mask, then we could tell you.

Until then, ‘the best’ that we can do is just show you what to look for when seeking out the very best of the best. In short, that means you want:

• A full face snorkel mask that is regularly updated and enhanced,
• A snorkel mask that comes with all the available technology,
• A trusty, reliable brand that offers a good warranty on the product.

So let’s look into all this a little deeper – think of this as the Insider’s Guide to Spotting a Damn Good Snorkel Mask.

1. Regularly updated/enhanced snorkel masks

If you’ve already spotted a full face snorkel mask you’re interested in, check to see how long ago that particular version was released. If it was over 12 months ago, it’s likely that you’ll be missing out on a lot of advancements, additions, and updates. Diligent snorkel mask manufacturers should be constantly updating and evolving their masks along with the latest available features, safety measures, and materials.
