5 Best Full Face Snorkel Masks

This mask is designed to fit adults and youth, even older children. The silicone seal keeps water out and makes it comfortable on your face for hours of use. The design makes it more comfortable to breathe through your nose rather than mouth. It comes in 4 different sizes (from Extra Small to Extra Large), and it weighs just 550 grams. It comes in eight stylish colors, with a snorkel that is highly visible above the water’s surface—so less chance surfers and bodyboarders will run you over.

Be warned: after a while, it will be hard to breathe due to the smaller size of the air intake. However, when you come up for air, the built-in drainage port will make it easy to let the water out without taking off your mask.

The silicone seal is long-lasting and will never leak. The mask is made from shatterproof polycarbonate, which is both highly durable and resistant to scratches and damage.

The mask offers a full 180-degree field of vision, and an anti-fog coating prevents your exhalations from fogging up the inside of the mask. The polycarbonate glass gives you excellent visibility without distorting the field of view.

The snorkel is designed to be detachable, but it can be tricky to remove. It has a mechanism to prevent sea water leaking through the snorkel, making sure you never inhale sea water no matter how much you swim.

This may have a slightly high price tag, but you’ll find its compatibility with all face sizes and shapes makes it great for anyone looking for a comfortable fit.

This mask is very comfortable, with enough cushioning around the rim and nose section to keep you happy for hours of use. It won’t squeeze or press on your face, but will allow you full range of motion without discomfort. Thanks to the valve built into the snorkel, you’ll never have to worry about swallowing or inhaling seawater while snorkeling.

The fit is compatible with most adults, youth, and older children. Definitely one of the most versatile options around!

The mask is fairly durable, with quality materials (silicone seal, scratch-resistant glass, rubber straps, etc.) that can stand up to regular use.

The 180-degree field of view gives you an unobstructed look at the world around you. However, the glass may distort your vision, making objects look closer or farther than they really are. Though the anti-fog spray (a bonus) helps to reduce fogging, the mask is prone to clouding up after a few minutes of underwater use.

The mask comes with a built-in mount for GoPro cameras, but the mount is compatible with a range of action/underwater cameras. When you buy the mask, the manufacturer also throws in a pair of diving fins (not the best quality) and anti-fogging spray (very handy) as a bonus.

For the price, this isn’t your best pick. It’s a decent quality mask that offers comfort and versatility, but it’s costlier than you’d expect.

If you plan on doing some serious snorkeling, this is your top pick. Not only does the silicone seal prevent leaks, it also provides cushioning to prevent mask lines. The adjustable straps make it easy for you to get the fit of the mask right without putting too much pressure on your head and face.

Be warned: if you have a heavy beard, the mask’s seal may be ineffective and prone to leaking.

The mask itself is fairly durable. Though it’s not made of shatterproof glass or plastic, it can stand up to regular use and is resistant to scratches. However, be careful with the snorkel attachment—the plastic isn’t very durable and may break if you’re not careful.

This mask has a unique flat design that places the mask closer to your eyes than the other rounded masks on our list. This is good for those who like traditional masks, as it will reduce vision distortion. With the 180-degree field of view, you can see everything happening all around you.

The snorkel has built in “Float Tech” that shuts a valve to keep water out of the snorkel. The dynamic breathing chamber will reduce the risk of fogging and keep your mask clear for hours.

This is a mid-priced mask that delivers decent quality and maximum comfort at a cost you can afford.

This is one of the most comfortable masks on our list, thanks to its versatile size and soft silicone padding. The seal is airtight and will prevent leaks as you swim. You can breathe easy while wearing this mask, thanks to the larger-than-average air intake and the Dry Snorkel system.

The silicone seals are durable and built for years of regular use, and the mask itself is made from shatterproof polycarbonate.

The 180-degree field of view on this mask is excellent, and the polycarbonate glass won’t distort the view around you. However, the not quite airtight seal on the breathing chamber means fogging is a very real problem with this mask.

The mask comes with a GoPro mount so you can capture your underwater adventures, a detachable snorkel, and a built-in drainage system that expels water with a simple head movement.

This mask costs less than all the others on our list, but it’s no less reliable and durable than the higher-priced options. Its only real flaw is the tendency to fog—everything else is excellent for amateur and regular snorkelers alike.
