Hello, my son-in-law, would like to know how other males with facial hair create a good seal to keep the mask from flooding?

Trim it more often or use a mask seal gel. Don’t use vaseline as it may shorten the life of the skirt.

And here Marie I thought this was going to be a joke about with the lock down some women couldn’t get to the salon to get their mustache waxed and you were asking for a friend :)

Bad boy😂😂😂 ....by the way, Hair Salons in Florida have been open for almost two weeks. Anyway, I went to Divers Direct and bought a “mask seal” the tube looks like chap stick but the stuff is super soft. They also said silicon works pretty good too. I think my son-in-law should just shave of the beard but I’m sure that ain’t gonna happen. 🙃

Keep your lip hair short. I’m trimming mine up now for a dive tomorrow.
