Full-face vs regular snorkel mask - which is better for snorkeling in Hurghada?

Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 1 day ago

TL;DR

Snorkeling tours in Hurghada usually provide life vests, so bring your own quality mask if possible - cheap freediving masks fog up fast even with anti-fog spray. Older travelers should be cautious with full-face masks and try one before buying.

What the community said

An experienced diver advises older travelers to be cautious with full-face masks - better to try a good-quality one in person before forming an opinion about comfort.

An old worn-out freediving mask with tiny scratches on the inside of the lens fogs up badly in the same spot every time - neither washing nor spit trick helps. Only anti-fog spray works, but it lasts for just one dive.
