Low vol. mask for roman nose

Roman, long, or just plain large... whatever you want to call it I need a new low vol. mask for hunting, preferably with mirrored lens and black skirt. Been using a DIveRite mid vol. and it's done well, but is still a chore to equalize on deeper dives. I have a fairly narrow face and the issue I usually am confronted with is the length, top to bottom, of the nose area in the skirt. Even this DiveRite bothers me if I wear it all day, when I take it off it feels like my nose is still pointing up

Anyway, I figured with all the Greek(I've been told I have a Greek/Roman nose) divers on here, one of you could point me in the right direction. I know trying as many on in person is best but what other options do I have? Thanks, Noah

Make sure you try the Beuchat Mondial, if possible. Fairly low volume, glass lenses, good visibility and fits over 'real' noses.

Noah,

Call me in the shop and I will run some model names by you that work great for people with beaks!

I used to have a beak but had it fixed when I was 18!

Re: Low vol. mask for roman nose

The new Mares Tana has the biggest nose pocket I've ever seen. My spearing buddy has one and it's way too big for my not excactly Roman but truly Tuscan nose. See pic below:

Thanks everybody, I'll try them all, and Jim I'll call you tomorrow.

Maybe I'll have my wife take a side profile of the ol' shnoz
