it will really fill up if you try to take a breath up side down...

Gabriel Rader - 8 years ago

Hey, Scheff! I have wanted to purchase one of these for a while and I have one burning question. Can you go FULLY submerge the mask and take a couple of breaths? THanks! Keep making the awesome vids :)

thurstonhowellthe4rd - 8 years ago

Hiya, when you are right side up the mask is full of air, when you flip upside down the mask is still full of air, hence the water can't come in. That's what I'm thinking anyways.

Beau Garrison - 8 years ago

even if the pressure doesn't hold the ball in, and it floats up when you're upside down, that hole is at the bottom, so the air cannot get out. sorta like holding a cup of air upside down in water. that could be why you are getting water in the mask

Alex Maples - 8 years ago

I have that mask

Riley's Room - 8 years ago

can you breath in it? for how long can you stay under water in one breath

Hi, what about equalizing? How can you equalize with these if you can't pinch your nose? Thanks for the videos. Your great by the way. :)

vegan monkey - 8 years ago

Thanks

Scott Robinson - 8 years ago

vegan monkey get a nose clip even though as said above it's not intended for going deep enough to need to equalise

Linguine Snek - 8 years ago

You just can't. It's only intended for surface use as you can't really equalise normally. Some people don't need to hold their nose but then due to the air in the mask it is more difficult to descend anyway.

Belinda Lopez - 8 years ago

Great video Sheff, I'm planning on purchasing a full face mask for some SoCal snorkeling and your videos answered several of the questions I had. Thanks!

Hey thank you for this~! and that other video where you explained the difference between Flat and the Rounded Mask. :) thumbs up! thanks very much!

The Mute - 8 years ago

Hello Brent. Owners of other similar products complain about the lack of optimum airflow, making it unfit for vigorous swimming or occasional holding breath(diving) for a few seconds. Can you tell your opinion of the Seaview mask regarding airflow? Thank you!

SHEFF - 8 years ago

+dvdrwsor 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.

RealTech 9ja - 8 years ago

how long can you stay underwater with this? can you breath at all?

Linguine Snek - 8 years ago

Ibrahim Shaka, you can only breath at the surface when the snorkel stick thing is out of the water.

Isaac L - 8 years ago

Can you take a few breaths under water with that mask on?

Melting Man - 8 years ago

Can you breath underwater

Linguine Snek - 8 years ago

Mr. Adventure, yes, if the tube party is out of the water. If that is submerged, then most certainly not.

GamePlayer 452 - 8 years ago

do you live in Krebs,Mcalester,OK ?

GamePlayer 452 - 8 years ago

Brent Sheffield I thought you lived in Krebs because your t-shirt has the exact same logo as their team

Nope, Colorado.

Like 8-10 ft

HiBeast - 8 years ago

Is there a Scuba mask mini with air storage

Isaac McDaniel - 8 years ago

we wish

Emil Utberg - 8 years ago

its cool and all but how does it do on deep diving not like alot but lets say 5-10 meters ? guess i gotta clamp your nose with something to be able to equalise the pressure for the ears

Kelly Saha - 8 years ago

Emil Utberg nose plugs or using your jaw

Darlene Pino - 8 years ago

;Thank you for the video. I'm ordering this mask and that was a question I had. I appreciate your video.

TheGlamoureboy - 8 years ago

How will I know my size, I'm 5'8" medium built, normal headsize for the height, small? Medium? Large? Which one?

Drenamow - 8 years ago

There is a sizing guide on the mask you decide to buy, otherwise then i dont know as they differ from brands.

B Adventures Travel Vlogs - 8 years ago

Thanks for explaining how it actually works. Thumbs up =)

SN - Old channel - 8 years ago

Can you breath with this mask underwater? I knows that people can breath with normal snorkels, as long the thing is over the water. :)

SHEFF - 8 years ago

SN - Old channel this works just like a normal snorkel mask. You can only breathe when the breathing tube is above water.

Matthew Loud - 8 years ago

Hi Brent, can you breathe underwater with this thing (when it's fully submerged)

Craig Harrison - 8 years ago

Matthew Loud like he said, the ball covers the breathing hole when underwater. You tell me, could you breath?

Saulo Sauce - 8 years ago

Can you breath underwater with this thing.

Nikki The Fox - 7 years ago

It's a snorkeling mask... what is the difference between snorkeling and diving?

SHEFF - 8 years ago

Saulo Sauce Not unless the breathing tube is out of the water

ronyoutu - 8 years ago

Yes, Just starting breathing in REAL deep

Siveon Farcloud - 8 years ago

Noticed that there are several near copies of this mask, some of which have a flat visor. Considering that this one is rounded, how's the distortion while under water?

SHEFF - 8 years ago

Siveon Farcloud I just made I new video explaining the difference

dominic barbas - 9 years ago

Hi I think its great haven't tried one yet would love to only problem is equalising seems it would be as I am a free diver normal dives are 3 to 6 meters with time line of 1:30 minutes .

Rick Gram - 9 years ago

besides costing way more than a normal mask and snorkel, it looks pretty ridiculous and naming it ninja only makes it even more so...

KAW GAMING - 8 years ago

I like the way it looks...

Games For Cykits - 9 years ago

Interesting thanks for this

Larry Johnson - 9 years ago

This is really cool. Would you please tell me if one can breathe inside the mask? I realize this may sound silly, but is the air trapped in the mask sufficient to take short puffs of breaths while wearing this mask underwater? Thanks!

Larry Johnson - 9 years ago

Cool. Ok, thanks!

SHEFF - 9 years ago

You can't breathe in. You have to hold your breath. When you breathe out the air escapes and you can't pull more air in.

Yossan Yishak - 9 years ago

I want to buy one but it's not available here, so the only option sis to buy it online. Any suggestions for online sites where I can but the original one?

SHEFF - 9 years ago

I purchased mine on Amazon.com. I'm sure you can find them elsewhere as well.

Dimitrios Topouzidis - 9 years ago

The music is too loud when you talk, it's annoying.

PreOAP - 9 years ago

how easy is it to clean and het all the water out so it doesnt mold over long periods of not being used?

SHEFF - 9 years ago

+PreOAP Mine came with a storage bag that allows the mask to breathe. That helps it dry out.

jazzh100 - 9 years ago

I'm curious how you pressurize your ears while diving deeper, with this mask on? with a regular snorkel mask you can still squeeze your nose to relieve the pressure

SHEFF - 9 years ago

These masks are intended more for surface snorkeling and not diving really deep. Part of the problem with the masks is that you can't do the valsalva maneuver with these masks and the pressure on your face increases quickly as you go deeper.

Captain Jack - 9 years ago

Something I just thought of. This mask might not work for me because I have a beard.

Captain Jack - 9 years ago

+Brent Sheffield Awesome! Just put the word out in your area, and someone might know a bearded guy that would be willing to try it out. The company might even be interested in your results and even post your video on their website. Regardless, I think this would be a fun video to make and watch.

SHEFF - 9 years ago

+Captain Jack Hmmmm, let me think about that. No one comes to mind. I'll update if I can find someone.

Captain Jack - 9 years ago

+Brent Sheffield It's probable that this mask might work for me. Here's the thing, I work at the Seattle Aquarium. They have a full face dive mask with a microphone installed so they can talk to the guest while they are feeding the fish in the large aquarium. I asked if anyone has tried using the mask with a beard? She said, yes and in fact a larger beard than mine. They had to tuck it in a bit more, but they were able to get a good seal.

Brent, do you have a bearded friend that could test out the mask? This would be the ultimate test!

Captain Jack - 9 years ago

+James M It's still a fact in the military, for not only gas masks, but also fire fighting masks have to have a tight seal. Also note, water needs larger holes for the droplets pass through because if its higher viscosity.

James M - 9 years ago

that's why shaving became popular during world war 1 because you cant use a gas mask with a beard! :D

SHEFF - 9 years ago

Yeah. That would be a problem

Mike Carr - 9 years ago

Seems sand could cause the ball not to get a good seal, maybe not recommended for ocean diving.

Miriam Gould - 9 years ago

Can you use one of these masks skiing or walking in frigid/windy weather...???

SHEFF - 9 years ago

Good question. I probably wouldn't. My guess is it would fog up.

Emilia Sings - 9 years ago

what's the name of the mask

SHEFF - 9 years ago

Mine is the Wildhorn Outfitters Seaview 180 from Amazon.com

Tax Rex - 9 years ago

Thanks for video. Can you please provide brand name and model (version) of the mask.

SHEFF - 9 years ago

I purchased the Wildhorn Outfitters Seaview 180 on Amazon.com

franziskum - 9 years ago

Nice video
How many time can you stay underwater with this mask?

SHEFF - 9 years ago

That depends on how long you can hold your breath. If you swim at the surface with the breathing tube sticking out of the water you can keep your head under and breathe just like a normal snorkel mask.

Eric Stolworthy - 9 years ago

How well can you communicate with others while wearing this?

SHEFF - 9 years ago

Honestly, that's tough to say. I haven't really tried it out but I think I'll have to see next time I go to the pool.

Did you have any problem with tube valve? In my test it was spontaneously blocked when I surfaced from under the water.

SHEFF - 9 years ago

+alabaiCA I didn't. Worked like a charm afterward.
