A scuba mask usually keeps filling with water because the silicone skirt is not sealing evenly against your face. Hair, a folded skirt, an overtightened strap or normal facial movement can leave a small gap. Start by checking the seal rather than pulling the strap tighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start with a simple reset at the surface: clear hair from the seal, flatten the skirt and adjust the strap until the mask sits securely without squeezing. Then test it with your regulator in your mouth before you descend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This guide covers conventional scuba masks used with a separate regulator.<\/strong> Full-face systems require their own equipment-specific training and procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n
