COZIA DESIGN Snorkeling Gear for Adults with Fins - Full Face Snorkel Mask and Swim Fins, 180° Panoramic View Snorkel Mask, Anti Fog and Anti Leak Adult Snorkel Set

Used these on a trip to Belize and was very happy with the full face snorkel mask and fins. Fins were easy to adjust and fit my size 11.5 feet well. The mask was just big enough for me and gave me a good view, easy breathing, and was easy to slide up on my head for a break and back into position for more snorkeling. The gear seamed reasonably durable for occasional use. Didn't find deeper diving to be that difficult and all the snorkel valves worked exceptionally. I stayed vigilant about any signs of dizziness or fatigue from recirculated respiration and didn't sense any. I've only snorkeled a couple of times and really like this setup compared to using a separate snorkel and mask, but with my limited experience, that's not saying much.

It was my best snorkel gear experience. Note that I'm not a professional, nor do I play one (or anything else) on TV.I snorkel about every couple of years, but try to pack as much into those efforts as possible.Anyway, I totally recommend the Cozia set with one comment and one reservation. First the good stuff -Vision is great. There is distortion around the fold in the mask, but the side windows worked better than I expected. I was continually surprised by objects in my peripheral vision. Peripheral vision up and down is also enhanced. The seal is also better than I expected. I have a full beard, and while I keep it pretty short it's still a problem with traditional masks. No leakage into the mask through the neck/sideburn area.The full face design gets a lot of credit too. You breathe through your nose. Go figure!! You can also turn your head to either side while breathing, since the "snorkel" is in the middle of your head. I would turn one way and cringe as I reached where the side snorkel would catch, then do the same the other way, but the catch never came.The aforementioned comment: The basic design of the full face makes diving while wearing it difficult. Just the way it's built. With a traditional mask and snorkel, you can push the mask against your face, get a short lived turbo-vacuum effect and drop below the surface. Since the mask and snorkel are plumbed to each other that doesn't work with the full face. You could probably drop the snorkel till the ball valve closes, then do the push, but I didn't figure that out till we were home so couldn't test it out. I tried diving a couple of times with it, then gave up. This is part of the overall full face design, not a problem specific to Cozia.The reservation - I have a big head. 7-5/8 to 7-3/4 hat size. While the mask fit fine, the adjustment straps on the mask were at the end of their travel. When I tried to tighten them a bit, they didn't give much, and tended to slide back to the end again. If you're a mega dome, may want to find something a bit larger.

My wife and I were taking a trip to Hawaii and we wanted to try these masks out. I thought the review were pretty mixed but for the price, we gave it a shot. Other family members had bought similar styles of mask, but different brands. At the end of the trip, everyone liked ours better over the competitors. I had bought a large/xl size and my wife got the s/m.Mask: I love the design of the mask. Whenever we were out of the water, we had tons of people asking us about them. There is a cool factor to them for sure. One thing that we both liked is the straps are a nylon/fabric material. One complaint about some of the other masks my family had was that the rubber straps pulled their hair. I was super worried about the mask leaking but both my wife and I had zero issues with it. The only time I had water come in was a trickle of water would come down in when I dove under the water a little bit. The view is awesome in these masks. We didn't have any issues with distortion. My parents had bought masks that had a tint and they said it caused them to see their own reflection as they swam. It was pretty comfortable to wear. One tip I would offer on the mask, is you don't need to tighten them as much as you think. The first day I went out and it was fine without adjusting. The second day I decided to tighten it a little bit and it was too much. It pressed the mask too hard against my face. After I loosened it up, it was great again. The snorkel portion does a good job keeping the water out. We snorkeled in a cove that was really calm and also in another bay with some large waves. Sometimes I had waves come over my head but I didn't have any issues with it. The seal works great. I just made sure to shave before my trip. Even with a little stubble I was still ok.Fins: I know a lot of people complained about the fins but I really liked them. They are nice and portable and got me where I needed to go. Some people complained about deformity but I didn't have any issues with that. The nice thing with them being so small, my wife and I fit everything into a backpack when we went down to the beach. They are nothing fancy but I liked them.Cons: The only complaint I have about the mask is you need to limit the amount of time you spend in the water. I know it can vary with people, but I found my max was about an hour. The reason being is that I don't think enough oxygen cycles through the mask. I think that after awhile, you are breathing in quite a bit of CO2. The first day I had been in an hour and a half and when I got out, I was pretty light headed. You don't notice it until you get out. If I was in for about an hour with the mask, I was fine.The other con is that although I dove down under the water, there isn't a way to really equalize your ears so there is a lot of pressure if you dive down too far. I know others have noted that as well.Conclusion: I would recommend these masks if you want to try something different over the traditional equipment. They really are a lot of fun I think the mask design works pretty well. I think you get a good product for the price. My other family members that bought more expensive mask returned theirs. We are keeping these for sure!

My husband got this mask to go snorkeling with a friend on Maui before we thought we were going to use it on a commercial tour. It worked great and he was able to see just fine. It fit well and was able to breath just fine. When signing the waiver for our snorkel tour, I noticed it said NO FULL FACE MASKS. So I did a little research and sure enough most if not all snorkel tour companies on Hawaii do not allow full face snorkeling gear. I guess too many people have passed out with these masks breathing back their own CO2. I did feel a little dizzy after about 45 minutes so I got out and took a break. The product is fine, just be aware of how you feel and get out if you're feeling off. You can use these personally snorkeling but not commercially in Hawaii. Just thought future buyers would want to know.
