OCEAN REEF Aria QR + volgelaats-snorkelmasker met mondstuk, 180 graden zicht

I bought this for my dad to practice for high scuba diving he’ll be doing on vacation and he said it was perfect and did not feel suffocated!

Nice and easy to use and to breath

Valeva la pena spendere qualche Euro in più. É la terza maschera che acquisto e finalmente ho trovato una qualità superiore. É perfettamente aderente e i materiali sono piacevoli al contatto

I did a lot of research before I purchased this mask. Most of the reviews I read recommended this Ocean Reef Aria QR+. Plus it’s made in Italy rather than China. It’s more expensive than a lot of other full face masks but I thought it would be worth the extra expenseI expected this Aria QR+ to be very well made for the price of itI also made sure that I ordered the correct size as recommended on the Ocean Reef websiteHow wrong was I because as soon as I unpacked it I immediately thought it was very badly made eg. when you click on the snorkel it has tiny plastic clips either side of it that don’t look like they will last very long at all, also when removing the snorkel you have to get your finger nails under both these tiny bits of plastic (luckily I have long nails!). If feels very cheap and nastyI also found that the float/ball inside the top of the snorkel gets stuck both ends of it’s travel which means it either doesn’t shut off air getting in or doesn’t drop back to allow air to get back in…that is just very dangerous in use and you definitely cannot rely on it working 100% of the timeProbably the worst bit of this Aria QR+ is that it leaks like a sieve. It doesn’t matter how tight I pull the straps both sides it still leaks badly. Even when I have it on it’s not comfortable at allBare in mind that I made 100% sure that I ordered the correct size according to the Ocean Reef websiteUnfortunately I had to return this to Amazon for a refund as it is simply not fit for purpose. All the reviews I read were very positive but believe me it’s utter rubbishI have since purchased the SUBEA (Decathlon) Easybreath 900 version, in size S/M, and it is in another league. It’s so much better made and just works as it should. For the record the Easybreath 900 is also less than half the price of the Aria. There are two other Easybreath full face snorkel masks; the 500 and the 540 (all based on the same basic design) that are £28 and £30-£32 respectively so even less than half the price of this AriaThe Easybreath is so much better made and everything works as it should. It also seals perfectly and doesn’t let a drop of water in. The float/ball runs very freely and the snorkel is simplicity itself to click on and off. It has the feeling of being extremely well made and that it will last a lifetime. The Easybreath is made in Poland rather than ChinaI would absolutely 100% recommend the Easybreath 900 or the 500 & 540 as they are all built to the same specificationsSo I just cannot recommend this Ocean Reef Aria QR+ full face snorkel mask. It is very badly made, doesn’t work and it’s expensive. This time you definitely don’t get what you pay for. I consider it to actually be dangerous in useThe Easybreath’s I can totally recommend. They are a bit of a bargain AND they just work as intended

It is worth every penny. Excellent grip, no leaking and great visibility.
