Thanks for all the info! it's been an interesting read - especially the comments about the nose clip - when i used the mask i had (to a maximum depth of about 35m) i managed to get by without using a nose clip - apart from on one dive, where i had ear clearing problems so had to swap it for my normal mask (carried in my stab for such emergencies).

One thing that hadn't occured to me was filling the sealing skirt should be filled with water, i'd merely inflated it with air. - didn't have any problems with it filled with air, although i did also have problems with the original spider that the mask came with, - basicly perished - and the mask itself did have some surface detoriation on it as well, but glueing it inside a wetsuit hood with a zip down the back did the trick nicely.

Andre, is the mask something you'd be willing to part with?

Thanks for all the comments and advice!
