It is a bit of an adjustment with the mask when you switch to CCR. IMHO, a low volume mask is easier to deal with, especially when diving CCR - less volume to clear, easier to equalize, less drama overall. It may take you a few dives to get used to the new mask, but I think you will find the low volume mask is more typical for tech divers and especially CCR divers for the reasons stated above. Just make sure the thing fits you well in the first place. Right now I am diving a Dive Rite mask and I love it.

Just my $.02 (worth exactly what you paid for it!)
Regards,
Randy
