Perfect review

Kimberlee stanhope - 7 years ago

Hi, noticed you wear glasses, can you see in this mask without them? Thanks

MyLife88 Dior - 7 years ago

Can you breath underwater?

Kiko Macchiavelli - 7 years ago

I can't believe you don't mention the fact that you can't dive down more then a couple of feet with these masks. Because you can't pinch your nose to equalize. That's like a car without a stirring wheel. A plane that only flies 10 ft off the ground. AND YOU DON'T EVEN MENTION IT!?!?!?

Rubi Cela - 7 years ago

Great video....can you attach any action camera....such as a 4K+ YI

Galaxy Schmidt - 7 years ago

on amazon for me its flat not curved

Descobrindo America - 7 years ago

Hello! great video!
I am trying to get the mask, but when I click in your Amazon link, the mask there is flat and not round glass/view.
Could you check it?
Best Regards!

Mark Anthony - 7 years ago

Hey I was trying to decide between this brand you have (seaview180) or the Aria Ocean Reef ...http://oceanreefgroup.mybigcommerce.com/aria-snorkeling-mask-black .... Wondering if you had a chance to compare that one or if you recommend the seaview over this brand. They are my top 2 choices but Im having a difficult time deciding since I will be ordering online.
Thanks!

SHEFF - 7 years ago

I haven't tried out their mask but it looks promising.

Al Bundy - 7 years ago

Impossible to clear while submerged, water constantly getting in from all over the place, design so that airflow goes in front of the mask I guess to prevent fogging which introduces constant airflow over your eye balls, snorkel is fairly short. Other than that it is great.

Rob Tristan - 7 years ago

Illegal in Greece, be careful if use it, danget of arrested.

Zion Train - 7 years ago

The best review so far. Thanks

Pamela Frey - 7 years ago

I am an avid snorkler and have snorkeled all over the world. Purchased this mask and brought it to Roatan and tried to snorkel the reef and couldn't get enough air in. Talked to many people on the beach and they said the same thing. Went back to my normal snorkel.

SHEFF - 7 years ago

+Pamela Frey That's too bad. I just spent the day snorkeling in Belize and it was great for me. I tried two different brands and it wasn't an issue. Might depend on how hard you are exercising while using it.

SIECIKSuc - 7 years ago

Any idea of where to get this mask now? All they have on Amazon and on their own site is a version that is flat faced, which causes distortion along the angled portion in the plastic. I am looking for this exact panoramic one. I want to buy several of these.

Maria Sidiro - 7 years ago

www.Zulily.com has a special on them today.

SHEFF - 7 years ago

Not sure why the switch. I'm having a hard time finding one with the curved mask. +wildhorn

I can't believe that you don't have more subscribers. Very through and professional review. outstanding job. I have Subscribed and look forward to checking out other videos from you in the next few days. keep up the good work.

Shelly Pargh - 7 years ago

We bought these and while I love view, I am having a problem with leakage. Do you have any suggestions?

SHEFF - 7 years ago

Shelly Pargh Interesting. Do you have an idea where the water is entering from?

ronyoutu - 7 years ago

I bought this model. Have yet to use it. (December in Minn). Plan on doing some river bottom searching and this mask seems like the perfect mask!

SkiingIsLife20031 - 7 years ago

I bought it, and i have a channel. I am going to maui, and i wanted to know if you knew any places to go snorkeling

jonathan omalley - 7 years ago

, thanks for the review, just got it for christmas from wife. i was wondering how to equalize, i like to cruz about 15' to 30' will that be a problem??

MeoWffle CAT - 7 years ago

just bought one and this video was very helpful!

nub111 - 8 years ago

Yours doesn't seem to have a ridge on the left and right sides of the mask. The Amazon page for this product seems to. Does it or does it not have a ridge?

SIECIKSuc - 7 years ago

Is there anywhere that you can get this full round lens? The flat one distorts around the edges as you see in several other videos. I can't understand why anyone would not want the proper panoramic one.

Wildhorn - 7 years ago

We used to have the round lens but have updated to a flat one. Most users seemed to prefer the flat so we made the switch.

kixaholic34 - 8 years ago

nice review...I am ordering 2 now for our Tulum trip. Thanks!

kixaholic34 - 7 years ago

kcozgrove they're awesome! Took a few minutes to get used to but way better than regular snorkeling gear.

kcozgrove - 7 years ago

So. How was the mask? Im going to cabo soon and want to possibly buy it

Al Stone - 8 years ago

How do you pressurise when diving?

Sharon Swanson - 7 years ago

These are for snorkeling on the surface, and not diving. You can't equalize. It becomes uncomfortable below around 10 feet.

Antti - 7 years ago

Use some nose clips or plugs

Olwyn Freeman - 7 years ago

yes...you can't! Pretty useless huh!

jonathan omalley - 7 years ago

any answers yet?

Olwyn Freeman - 7 years ago

you mean equalize your ears? I want to know that too!

israel moreno - 8 years ago

I'm going to Virgin Islands in December so I'm going to buy this mask this Tuesday!

I'm just curious about how it would be if I went about maybe 10 feet below the water.

But it don't matter still buying it!

This is a fantastic review video, Sheff, thanks for posting! We're just trying to decide between this brand and Tribord...I don't suppose you've done a comparison? 8-)

ladyhealer - 8 years ago

So excited about this mask. I just ordered and got it!

Matias Nobrega - 8 years ago

hi I see me want to buy one of that brand. but I see there are only two sizes small / medium and large / extra / large steps and find no reference medi my face as I see in other brands and measures 13 cm from the chin to the end of the partition that you comprastes measures you have? Thank you

SHEFF - 8 years ago

If you measure 12cm (4.7in) or less from the bridge of your nose to the bottom of your chin get the small. If it's more than 12cm get a large.

Bunny Boo - 8 years ago

So how far can I swim down with this? I'm aware its like any other regular snorkel i'd have to hold my breath... But will anything go wrong if i swim deeper than like maybe 5ft? That's the last deteriming factor for me to buy it or not (:

Olwyn Freeman - 7 years ago

yes, you will get pain in your ears and if you go too deep you'll perforate an ear drum

SHEFF - 8 years ago

Nothing will go wrong. The deeper you dive the more pressure you will feel of the mask against your face. This is due to the larger amount of air inside the mask than a normal type of mask.

Austin - 8 years ago

Very helpful, thanks Brent!

Kenny Kush Jr - 8 years ago

Thanks for such a great review! Pretty much answered all my questions. Got mine delivered yesterday and will test it this weekend. Need to make sure it works well before heading to Maui.

SHEFF - 8 years ago

That's awesome. I hope it works like you hope.

Captain Jack - 8 years ago

Well your video convinced me to purchase some for my adventure cruise company. Thanks for the informative and too the point review.

SHEFF - 8 years ago

+Captain Jack I'm glad it helped. I can't stand reviews that don't value my time so I try to value yours.

saltlife316 - 8 years ago

I dig it, I want one

Michael Kula - 8 years ago

Hi Brent, I am researching multiple full-front snorkeling masks and how does the Seaview 180 compare to the Ocean Reef Aria or Head Mask? I want to purchase one for an upcoming trip. Thanks

SHEFF - 8 years ago

Michael, I wish I could tell you more about each of those but I can't. I just received another mask from another company and the front plastic isn't round - its flat on the front of the mask where the eyes are. I don't like this idea because it gets rid of the panoramic views that this type of mask offers.

While Traveling - 8 years ago

is this better than the ocean reef?

SHEFF - 8 years ago

+3allooshTV I haven't tried the ocean reef so I can't say. Sorry.

patimuse - 8 years ago

Just watched a dozen reviews trying to decide the best brand to buy - by far the best and most informative - thanks! Hope Seaview rewards you or at least give your girls free ones :)

patimuse - 7 years ago

I agree, the curved gives a better view

Reizell Jen - 7 years ago

By the curved one like what this dude is using. The straight one has a line that is irritating

Intimidate45 - 7 years ago

Brent Sheffield was it very expensive?

SHEFF - 8 years ago

+patimuse Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it.

Jason Yarzagaray - 8 years ago

Great review, just ordered mine today. Going to test it on my next snorkeling trip on Aruba.

SHEFF - 8 years ago

Aruba sounds amazing. I hope it goes well

Richard van Tricht - 8 years ago

Wish i saw these reviews before my holiday

Richard van Tricht - 8 years ago

+Brent Sheffield for my next scuba snorkelling holiday it did :). have to own it by then..

SHEFF - 8 years ago

I hope the video helped

Luke Anthony - 8 years ago

I got a dumb question to ask..can I go underwater and breathe with this thing? or do I have to hold my breath when I'm submerged?? thanks.

SHEFF - 8 years ago

You have to hold your breath. This just makes it a lot easier than traditional snorkel masks to do it right.

classiclistener01 - 8 years ago

Excellent video...and, even better because it's by someone who knows snorkeling! My Son just got one of these for his birthday.

Thank you for posting! :)

P.S. - how deep did you go before experiencing 'mask squeeze?'

classiclistener01 - 8 years ago

Yes...but, 'mask squeeze' occurs more and more as you go deeper and deeper because you cannot equalize the mask without scuba tanks and a regulator. The atmospheric water depth pressure (every 33 feet) presses upon the mask towards your face and can leave red, and, black and blue, marks where the masks contacts your face.

Watch for that.

SHEFF - 8 years ago

+classiclistener01 thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to take it anywhere deep yet but I'm hoping to do it soon. I can see how the mask would squeeze but I tighten the straps pretty tightly to start anyway.

Kevin Lopez - 8 years ago

thanks how much it cost

SHEFF - 8 years ago

Chris Sucharda - 8 years ago

so this is a clone of the original tribore mask. interesting. how was the pressure when you dive below the surface? how is the leak rate?

SHEFF - 8 years ago

The pressure was fine when I've used it. I haven't dived very deep in the mask. I do feel some pressure with the mask - enough to leave a ring on my skin where the mask touched but not enough to bother me. Maybe that would change the deeper I dive. There isn't any large amount of leaking - if I flip over a few times there is some leaking that occurs but nothing significant.

Melena Halley - 8 years ago

I was so heat Titans at first but now I'm sure this is exactly what I need! Your review was awesome and super helpful,!

Yes. That's the one I bought.

Bishop Yokubaitis - 8 years ago

what is the hinge-like piece at the top of the mask for, i don't know what its meant on mine

SHEFF - 8 years ago

I should have mentioned it. Sorry. That's where the go pro attaches.

Rene2.0 - 8 years ago

I found this mask on Amazon tonight in preparation for our trip to Cancun because I didn't want to deal with rentals again (like last year). So I came to YouTube and your review sealed-the-deal. Well done!

SHEFF - 8 years ago

Thanks! I'm glad it helped. Enjoy the trip to Cancun.
