Potential problem with Panorama nova mask

Drmike · 4th October 2006, 02:24

Just a heads up.

Be careful that the mouthpiece insert (highighted in the pic of the FFM rebreather mask mouthpiece fitting) that slides inside the FFM doesnt get dislodged or the seal (part no. 15 in the pic) isnt damaged.

if it is you may get water leaking into the dsv from any thats in the bottom of the mask.

The hose gurgles can be annoying.

The part (highlighted in red) is slideable back and forth in the adapter - but its possible for it to become twsited/dislodged inside the holder and leak.

Just a quick check to make sure its sliding smoothy before each dive works fine.

Mine was stuck at an angle in a half in/half out position when my unit flooded at Scapa. Even after moving it in/out repeatedly this part is still stiff on my mask.

Yeh its a stupid design. I may 'fix' it in.

May I ask how much the fulll face goes for? Also are you using it for all dives i.e. do you guys love it that much?

mine can stay in an angle, and does not leak!! (anyway, I made +/- 40 dives with it, never gave any problem)

is there tolerance on the O-ring or the insert??

always using it, exept for training dives: to much a hassle to remove the mask at surface when you want to say something..

Resurrecting this old thread here, I have the above problem on my new mask. Can it be DIY fixed? If so, how?

Cheers

Inside the mask there is a conical ring marked 'POM'. This unscrews in anti-clockwise direction. There are notches in for some type of tool but you'll find a strong grip can do the job. It's then an easy task to get the moveable nozzle, that the mouthpiece attaches to, out. Bit of grease wouldn't go amiss when you reassemble. If the 'o' ring is damaged you can get one from watersafetyshop.com. Cheers Steve
