OCEAN REEF - Aria QR + Quick Release Snorkeling Mask - Full Face Snorkeling Mask - 180 Degree Underwater Vision - 8 Colours and 4 Sizes

I have been snorkeling for many years and have always wanted to try this type of mask. It worked great! I had no problems with the fit and it was easy to use. I did have to adjust my breathing. The first time I tried it, I felt like it was hard to breathe. So I adjusted my breathing and started breathly slowly and steadily and it worked! By the second use, I had no problems at all with the breathing. I am not even sure if I truly had problems with the breathing or if I was just adjusting to the new mask. It feels totally different from a normal mask and snorkel. We snorkeled between 1 to 1 1/2 hours each time and I experienced no difficulties with getting enough oxygen. The mask fits great and is extremely comfortable. My husband wore his usual mask and snorkel and he was able to understand me talking through my mask. I am not sure though, how the communication would have been if we were both wearing the new mask. I was able to see so much more with this mask. It is going to be the only snorkel mask I use from now on.

I used the mask for the first time and it is amazing. I can breath normal under water and no water , not even a drop came into the mask. Very clear to see with no fogging and wide viewing area. My measurement from the bridge of my nose to bottom of chin is 5 1/2 inches so I went with the S/M and it fit perfectly. No CO2 issues and O2 was fine. I highly recommend getting this Ocean Reef Aria QR+ snorkeling mask. It is well worth the money. The quality of the mask is top notch. I got the all white with orange go pro holder and it looks good. For those that gave bad reviews, I don’t understand. Maybe they did t have the right size or something. Again, Highly recommend this snorkeling mask. You’ll love it.

I think this is the very best snorkel mask for people who stay near the surface. The full-face experience is very pleasant for people new to snorkeling. Aria's air-circulation system is the best. The mask always had fresh air, never fogged, always felt well oxygenated. I know someone with asthma who felt fine using this mask. The QR (Quick Release) models are especially easy to get on and off. The fit and seal feels very good, and the one way valves felt like they did their job with the circulation and keeping water out of the mask. The bobbing mechanism in the spout kept any water from coming into the mask when I dove down below the surface. The removable spout and camera mount and ventilated storage bag are very convenient for travel. There's even a 'Snorkie Talkie' accessory you can buy separately to chat with others snorkeling on the surface or hanging back at the boat.The mask isn't ideal for deep dives, because having so much air in the mask it's hard to get too deep in the water (more than ~2 meters down), you'll float right back up. It also doesn't have a way to reach your nose with your hand, so you can't do much to blow out and pressurize your inner ear for deeper dives. If you want to get below ~2 meters, you'll need a different mask. If you're fine near the surface, this is the very best mask to have.

I love this mask so much!! Other masks don't properly ventilate CO2 and give you headaches and can potentially kill you. This mask filters it out amazing. There was no learning curve no water ever enter the mask it never fogged up and I stayed under the water snorkeling for close to 6 hours. I had a cold when I used this and couldn't breathe out of my nose and even then I still had ease to breathe. When the waves came over the mask the snorkel never once let in water! I found over 35 shark teeth because of this mask. I knocked one star off for comfort due to it making my jaw hurt bc I was mouth breathing but it wasn't that bad. This mask is truly amazing, the cloth band doesn't pull your hair the plastic viewing is amazing even though it isn't glass. I can't express how much I love it I will never snorkel the old way again.

Very happy with this full face mask as I can use a prescription eyewear adaptor in it without having to purchase a conventional prescription snorkel mask. Note this style mask is for surface snorkeling and NOT for diving. Very comfortable and gives a wide view. Easy to relax and breathe normally. This company’s design is effective and solves some of the safety concerns of other full face masks. Be sure to practice with the mask and understand how to clear it and how to clear the snorkel as it works differently than conventional masks and snorkels. Very happy with this mask.

Well made and easy to use. Was unable to use traditional snorkel due to gagging, but this fell face mask works great! No adjustment time needed, just breathe normally! Does not fog and no CO2 build up!

Did a lot of research and took a chance spending extra. Mask leaks from day one and has blocked airflow twice as well as pool of water over mouth twice hazard. Quick release clip unsnapped twice. Doesn't seem to be the great quality others speak of. Fogging up after 10 minutes of use. Son in law says the little ball isn't going up and down as fast as the water and I suspect the air tube doesn't have a tight enough fit where you connect it. Only one very thin rubber seal ring there. The water is getting into the output chambers of air flow system. Mask is potentially dangerous. Worst of all 0 customer care and support. I asked to replace it with a smaller size, emailed the company directly to remind them. No response! Sent same size! They don't even try to fix your issue. Don't bother with this one. Get a Seaview from a different vendor

It is worth every penny. Excellent grip, no leaking and great visibility.

Nice and easy to use and to breath

The plastic around the chin was broken and the outer walls came loose upon opening the package. Disappointing.

I did a lot of research before I purchased this mask. Most of the reviews I read recommended this Ocean Reef Aria QR+. Plus it’s made in Italy rather than China. It’s more expensive than a lot of other full face masks but I thought it would be worth the extra expenseI expected this Aria QR+ to be very well made for the price of itI also made sure that I ordered the correct size as recommended on the Ocean Reef websiteHow wrong was I because as soon as I unpacked it I immediately thought it was very badly made eg. when you click on the snorkel it has tiny plastic clips either side of it that don’t look like they will last very long at all, also when removing the snorkel you have to get your finger nails under both these tiny bits of plastic (luckily I have long nails!). If feels very cheap and nastyI also found that the float/ball inside the top of the snorkel gets stuck both ends of it’s travel which means it either doesn’t shut off air getting in or doesn’t drop back to allow air to get back in…that is just very dangerous in use and you definitely cannot rely on it working 100% of the timeProbably the worst bit of this Aria QR+ is that it leaks like a sieve. It doesn’t matter how tight I pull the straps both sides it still leaks badly. Even when I have it on it’s not comfortable at allBare in mind that I made 100% sure that I ordered the correct size according to the Ocean Reef websiteUnfortunately I had to return this to Amazon for a refund as it is simply not fit for purpose. All the reviews I read were very positive but believe me it’s utter rubbishI have since purchased the SUBEA (Decathlon) Easybreath 900 version, in size S/M, and it is in another league. It’s so much better made and just works as it should. For the record the Easybreath 900 is also less than half the price of the Aria. There are two other Easybreath full face snorkel masks; the 500 and the 540 (all based on the same basic design) that are £28 and £30-£32 respectively so even less than half the price of this AriaThe Easybreath is so much better made and everything works as it should. It also seals perfectly and doesn’t let a drop of water in. The float/ball runs very freely and the snorkel is simplicity itself to click on and off. It has the feeling of being extremely well made and that it will last a lifetime. The Easybreath is made in Poland rather than ChinaI would absolutely 100% recommend the Easybreath 900 or the 500 & 540 as they are all built to the same specificationsSo I just cannot recommend this Ocean Reef Aria QR+ full face snorkel mask. It is very badly made, doesn’t work and it’s expensive. This time you definitely don’t get what you pay for. I consider it to actually be dangerous in useThe Easybreath’s I can totally recommend. They are a bit of a bargain AND they just work as intended

Valeva la pena spendere qualche Euro in più. É la terza maschera che acquisto e finalmente ho trovato una qualità superiore. É perfettamente aderente e i materiali sono piacevoli al contatto
