Mask for a Small Face? Help!

Hey guys,

During my checkout dives, my Cressi Sub Big Eyes mask wasn't working with my hood, and quite frankly, hasn't even worked in the pool since. I'm looking for a new mask. My face is pretty narrow, so I was looking at this: http://www.scubatoys.com/store/detai...lPanoramicmask.
Any thoughts?

If it fits is the main key.

I might be wrong but I think that Cressi and/or Atomic make masks for smaller faces. I checked both web pages but didn't see anything.

Have a look at the Omer range of spearfishing masks that are low volume.

You must have a small face as most mask fit maybe not comfortably but generally they do fit.

They other mask you might like to look at is the new Mares Liquidskin my wife is little and she loves it. Trust me on this as I have a Oceanic Pro-Ear, Genesis Purge and US Divers Mask sitting in the cupboard and she really finally (please god) likes the liquidskin.

savvy, I don't know how small your face is, but my daughter has a small head/face and she (and I) use Genesis LVX masks. Neither one of us have a problem with leaking at all. I rarely clear mine. She's not had a leak so far.

I picked up a mares seta in roatan last year & it works pretty for me.

I have a pretty narrow & small face & I struggle to find a good fit due having uneven cheek bones.

try on lots of masks & make sure to do it with your reg in....

My face is narrow as well. I had a hard time finding the right/small mask. I have found Poseidon Technica and Atomic Aquatics Frameless smaller size (in medium fit) masks - they fit me very well!! Good luck finding the right one for your face!
