Hello Everyone,

I am having an issue I have been struggling with but can't seem to consistently resolve. Periodically on dives where I have a hood I am unable to fully equalize my mask (yes it's a low volume mask). When I gently blow out my nose to equalize, the lower part of my face feels fine but the upper part around my hood begins to squeeze and it feels uncomfortable. It seems odd that it's only partial. Could it be my mask doesn't fit properly and I need a new one?
