Snorkeling mask VS snorkeling set

The world of snorkeling has changed with the introduction of the full-face snorkel mask. Many snorkeling enthusiasts now wonder: is a snorkel mask really better than the classic snorkel set? Let's take a look at both products and see why the Khroom snorkel mask might be the better choice for many.

Breathing – Revolutionary Simplicity The unique design of the Khroom snorkel mask allows you to breathe naturally through your mouth and nose. This is a welcome alternative for those who struggle with breathing through the mouth only. Thanks to the innovative air circulation system, used air is efficiently expelled, preventing CO₂ buildup – a safety feature often missing in other brands.

No More Fogging While traditional dive masks often fog up, the Khroom snorkel mask keeps its promise of a clear field of vision. The integrated airflow keeps the lens clear at all times, giving you an uninterrupted underwater experience.

Water Tightness – Smart Solutions for Your Safety Let’s be honest: no snorkel mask is 100% waterproof. However, the Khroom snorkel mask offers a clever solution: a drain valve at the chin. If any water gets inside, you can easily let it out without removing the mask.

Pressure Equalization – Innovative and Comfortable The Khroom Seaview Pro Plus snorkel mask (available from mid-2024) is the first to allow comfortable pressure equalization thanks to its silicone nose pocket. This is a clear advantage over other masks with a rigid plastic front and even provides added value over traditional dive goggles.

180° Panoramic View – Unmatched Visibility Explore the underwater world with an unrestricted 180° panoramic view. Khroom snorkel masks feature a flat lens to avoid distortion and dizziness – unlike competitors that often use curved lenses, which create a “fish-eye” effect. This makes objects appear further away than they really are, often causing nausea or vertigo.

Conclusion – The Right Choice for Every Snorkeler Whether you want to relax at the surface and observe marine life or actively explore deeper areas – Khroom snorkel masks offer advantages that a classic snorkel set cannot. With revolutionary breathing tech, a clear field of view, and maximum comfort, they are ideal for most snorkelers. For those looking to dive deeper or explore narrow spaces, the classic snorkel set is still the better choice – as the air volume inside the full-face mask makes it harder to dive beyond 4 meters. But let’s be realistic – very few actually reach such depths.

My opinion: On holiday, I take both with me – because why choose between two great options? The Khroom snorkel mask is my first choice for relaxed days at the reef, where I can enjoy the underwater world in peace with a perfect view. For more ambitious dives, I use the classic snorkel set.
