Having been snorkling for many years and spearing for a year I have tried a number of diffeent masks trying to find one that fits well especially at the top of my nose. My most recent acquisition is a Cressi Minima which fits my nose just fine unlike all previous masks. My family tell me this is because I have an Italian (Roman) nose. The Minima fits well but the field of view is rather limited so I was wondering about trying another Cressi model. Do they all have the same size/shape of nosepocket and any suggestions of a good model for spearing? Unfortunately I don't have a shop nearby so I won't be able to try before buying.
 
This thread is tempting with a certain reply..... rofl

anyway, to be serious, SPAGHETTI, how big is your nose? And do you have the same fit problems? :chatup
 
Well, it's definitely an italian nose as can be.
But no fitting problem in this season: in cold water it tends to shrink.
 
ironic how most italian manufacturers, skipped the italian nose in the designs..
 
I have a roamin' nose too. They say it is so big that it roams all over my face. The Beuchat Mundial? is the only low to medium volume mask that fits over the bridge of my nose. The vision is very good, it has glass evepieces and the volume is low enough for 70 meter dives. It costs a little more but I recently took two apart to change lenses and the quality impressed me.
