My snorkel has a hard plastic. and every time I put it on, it hurts my face. What should I do to stop it. Please tell me because I’m going to free dive next week. Btw, I’m a lil kid. Just look at my channel to see proof.
Aw, this was a very nice post. In idea I wish to put in writing like this moreover – taking time and actual effort to make a very good video but what can I say I procrastinate alot and not at all seem to get one thing done.
Hey AC I wanted to just give you a shout out. Your river treasure vids have really inspired my son. We watch most of your vids together. We went out just for fun, spontaneously purchased some masks with snorkels from Benny’s. I’ll admit I know they’re poor quality. But we used them anyway. Every day on our last vacation. I used mine mainly to retrieve a $10 spinner lure I had lost on a log one morning before anyone woke up. Catching turtles. I even found another lure that I replaced the hooks on.
You’re a good guy brotha. Thanks for giving my kid something appropriate and inspiring to watch when he gets lost in YouTube land. Cuz god knows he sure does. But it’s fine with me as long as he keeps finding fun things he wants to do, because I really enjoy my time with him. Next summer I’ll invest in some quality gear and we are going to do it right.
For defogging my personal way of doing it is thouroughly washing ONLY the glass of the mask with detergent, then do the same thing with toothpaste, thoroughly clean the glass. And so u dont get fog everytime before u go diving spit in the mask, put it all over across the glass and give it just a little bit of water so the spit doesent affect ur seeing. This has worked for me and has not damaged my mask.
AccuaNigger???
so really a snorkel is useless because u have to come back up for air anyways
Helped me a lot good video
the thing is. we call our sister samsquanch because she is really hairy
So the lady that gets her hair tangled should maybe wear a swim cap so it doesn’t happen again
I’m planning on buying this mask, could you tell me which Gopro mount you use?
So basically what you are saying is, I might as well just buy goggles because using a snorkel is just as efficient as holding your breath? I personally don’t understand why people use those.
Maybe you can explain it to me?
I love ALL your videos. I’m brand new to metal detecting and magnet fishing. In fact I JUST BOUGHT and JUST RECEIVED everything. I haven’t even used any of it yet as I’m getting it all organized. Is there ANYWAY I can contact you via cell or Facebook to ask a lot of questions. My name is mark Bohamed and you can find me on Facebook or send me a PM. Thank you!!
Haters always gonna hate. There just not happy with themselves
Scope dope fore the fogging go to amazon to get it
love the name
Can you give me some iphone
Thank for talking about purging breathing out that happened to me I wasn’t getting any air and I was freaking out . Now I know what’s going on informative & helpful.
Chigg where can I buy a shirt?
They have an anti-fog wax in a lil jar you can buy. Buff your lenses and it should keep them from fogging for the duration of your underwater adventure time. 🙂
thank u for the tutorial
I like the idea if mounting the GoPro to your mask smart
so is the plastic plug underneath the tube necessary ? when I bought my snorkel I threw it away :/
so cool just getting into this dicovering that I love it.
Ever come to Alabama? This place is made of rivers and creeks
Can u breath using snorkel why you are in deep in water? Or u will just hold your breath?
Great, but this isnt freediving.
papanomaly?
What type if snorkel is that I need a snorkel like that
camera ?
freediving is totally different than snorkeling. also the equipment you use is totally different. I think it is better if you just wrote snorkeling in the video but not freediving.
thanks,

Another great teaching video. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
“makes my haters made and its always nice to make my haters made”
1. how can people hate you!
2. lmao
Thanks for the low down on your mask and how to use it.
Is it just me or does he look like the flashes dad
Is that mask prescription? I wear glasses so I need prescription glasses
How do you that camera on your mask or you want to scammers
So how does it seal when you have facial hair? Mine constantly leaks and fogs. $50 mask too… I’ve tried everything, burning the silicone off, toothpaste, clean shaving, not having it on tight, I spit in it before every dive. ????……
can i use it down in water
For the lady who’s hair gets tangled, use a wetsuit hood mask thing.
How do you guys go so deep tho
Wow that was good, if you have time can you have a look at my channel 🙂
What is the GoPro attachment
Googled, how do snorkelers work? Saw a Mr Wizard video and this video, so I watched them both. I’m still afraid to go very far underwater, but now if I ever have to I have a better chance of coming back out of the water breathing. Thanks.
do u think this mask would fit a teenager ?
Can you breath underwater with the mask
DID HE SAY “LIKE A SAMSQUANCH”
