in ann attempt to not bog down the broward beach conditions so much i started a thread.
went out today after school between noon and fourish..
i hit one of my favorite spots,, i can never find it on purpose its always on accident.
its an area somewhere outisde of the second thats much deeper than anything else around (50ish+ feet)and its all sand with a few intermitent rocks. i saw many hogs and reef fish as usual and a very big turtle. i had a really great mutton moment and had a fleeing mutton actually come back to me while i was laying in the sand. he never came close but close enough, i think it was longest shot ive ever made.. mutton was 20inch which is very good for the area.
very beautiful day on the water but not as calm or clear as a couple days ago. -

only larger hogs can be educated,, what u say is true for 95% of any south florida shallow water hogs, cause they are mostly 13 inches and down <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

its pretty suprising the difference a loosening tjhe strap can make,, kind of lets the mask sit properly on your face. i assumed for a long time the tighter you can comfortably (relative) have it the better, but ive totally reversed that thinking lately

A few comments on trying masks on in a store:
I think most people have the tendancy to just stick the mask to their face and if it stays stuck, they think it fits. I myself have done this, only to find that once I got in the water, the mask would leak at some point.
When trying on a mask, I stick it to my face, gently inhale through the nose and make sure it seals and is comfortable. After that, I move my head up and down, side to side and then look back over both shoulders.Also open and close your mouth. The seal should not break. This is occuring with the strap NOT in place.
Another key element that often gets overlooked in the store, is that the snorkel is not in place. The shape of your upper lip will change with the snorkel in place and may possibly lead to breaking the seal. I would suggest putting the tip of your tongue between your teeth and top lip to simulate a snorkel while trying on a mask in the store. Do this while doing all the head movements as well. You also want to make sure that the nose piece does not block your nostrils. Air flow through your nostrils should unimpeded for equalization of pressure in the mask as you descend and ascend.
Also check the field of vision. I have found that with most masks, I can see very well while looking up, and side to side. However, when I look down, my view is often obscured by the skirt of the mask and/or shape of the frame. This bugs the shit out of me. The Omer Alien is my preferred mask in terms of comfort and overall field of vision. I just wish it was available in an amber lens.
very good advice. so true
