Seaview 180 V3 Full Face Snorkel Mask Adult- The V3 is The Perfect Snorkeling Gear for Adults- Snorkel Mask with 180 Panoramic Viewing and Up to 600% Easier Breathing- Patented Flowtech Air Intake

Good fit. Minimal leakage (I have a mustache) and what water comes through is “automatically” expelled by the exhaust vent during natural breathing. Seems to be made of good skin friendly materials. Biggest draw is the wide caliber snorkel that allows for long deep breaths. I also suspect it reduces the chances of accumulating too much carbon dioxide in the mask. Downside is the ease with which the air valve closes and cuts off a deep inhale. All in all it provides value that justifies the increased expense.

Pros:- Even someone who can't swim can snorkel with this on! It’s super easy to use and provides peace of mind- Blocks off water from entering effectively, keeping your experience comfortable and worry-free- Comfortable design that’s easy to wear for long periods- The water may accumulate near the mouth area, but it flushes out quickly so there’s nothing to be worried about- Clear visibility through the lens for a great underwater viewCons:- The breathing can feel a bit different at first, but you get used to it after a few minutes

So I heard about the Seaview 180 V3 and that they had made improvements to the design to help reduce the work of breathing. I already had a Seaview 180 V2 and have enjoyed it, so I thought I would give the V3 a try. I am very impressed. The V2 is still a solid snorkel mask, but the improvements that were made for the V3 are not to be dismissed. I took both masks to the gym to test them out and can definitely say that the ability to take deep breaths, even under exertion is noticeably better with the V3. I also enjoyed the new design to the straps that allow you to clip them on instead of having to always pull it over (you can still pull it over though if you choose). I also noticed that the face seal is better - I can wear it looser and not have leaks on the sides of the mask, even when the pressure increases with diving. And speaking of leaks, if they do happen, the V3 has a great drain mechanic that once you come up, you just lift your chin up and the water drains right out, without having to take the mask off. And all of that with the same (or better) clarity and view angles provided by the full face mask of the Seaview 180.TL,DR:•Noticeable improvement in work of breathing•Easier mode of putting the mask on•Improved face seal allows looser fit and same/better seal•New/improved method to drain water from mask• Same great full view angles and claritySo, if you're looking for a snorkel mask, or even if you have one, but you wish it worked better, I would suggest you try the Seaview 180 V3. You will be glad you did.

The media could not be loaded. Fantastic snorkel! It has great suction but not too much and did not leak at all. Great clear view including peripheral vision. I took baby shampoo on our trip but didn’t need it at all which usually doesn’t happen with the classic snorkel masks. The mask never fogged up once without any treatment. It sealed off the way it should when diving underwater or a wave going over the top of it. This is my husband’s snorkel but I wore it a few times as well. It hurt the bridge of my nose but it didn’t hurt him at all so I think it was because it is too large for me. So take the recommended measurements and order accordingly instead of guessing to ensure it fits properly. The snorkel tube snaps onto the mask and comes back off so it fits in a nice convenient little carrying bag and makes it easier to travel with. I felt like the snorkel was worth the money and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it or purchase it again if needed.

I ordered 3 of these snorkel gear (1 of each size) for a recent trip to Hawaii with my kids. In the past, I’ve had trouble with other snorkel gear because I always have a trimmed beard (length on a scale of 1 to 3 with a standard wahl trimmer) and I don’t shave. My beard grows fast and I didn’t have to trim for an entire week when in Hawaii. This product was amazing and made the snorkeling experience so much more enjoyable for my kids and myself. Even with the beard, I had very little leakage and was able to dive down to check out areas a little closer.You don’t have to worry about removing a mouth piece for a snorkel tube to talk to the person next to you. You just have to raise your voice a bit more when talking to someone next to you. I could literally hear the joy in my daughter’s voice and her describing the colors of the aquatic life along the coral when she was right next to me within a few feet. So cool.Never had the issue of sucking in salt water from a snorkel after you remove it to talk to someone then put it back in before blowing it out.Never had a scenario where I dove down and water started rushing in the side of the gear like I’ve had with other gear before.Never had a situation where salt water came in through the snorkel tube either if I went below the surface for a brief moment. This was extremely nice to not be choking on salt water. The tube is really well designed.The gear is also really easy to adjust for anyone from a commonsense approach.I found them to be super easy to breathe through. If there was ever any slight leakage all you have to do is raise your head out of the water and the water drains right out the bottom on mask. No need to remove gear whatsoever. There was a person in our group who had a similar version made by a different manufacturer and they did have a more difficult time breathing. They tried mine and liked it so much better.The only knock I would have to say would be that if you have kids who use the gear close to the shore where the waves break, sand will get in around the edges of the seal. Fortunately, I was able to get all the sand removed after returning home with a garden hose. For all three masks, it took about 15min total to get all the sand removed.My kids and I absolutely loved them and so did others who used them as well.I didn’t see anyone else with the same gear when in Hawaii. I thought I would see more people with them based on the product description and how it works. I would recommend anyone to try this product out for yourself for a great snorkeling experience. My kids and I absolutely loved them and so did others who used them as well.I can’t guarantee this snorkel gear will work the same for everyone, but it was amazing for myself, my kids, and others who tried it within our group.Well designed product.
