What type of snorkelling mask should I buy in Hurghada?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 23 days ago
TL;DR
For a short Hurghada holiday, an inexpensive mask that seals comfortably is usually enough—try it on before buying. Full-face masks are for surface snorkelling only, so test the fit and breathing comfort yourself.
What the community said
A full-face mask is intended for surface snorkelling. Some travellers find breathing comfortable while others feel restricted, so try it on before purchasing.

You do not need an expensive model for a holiday: a basic budget mask is fine if it seals well and does not press on your face. Prioritise fit over brand.

Put the mask on and check that it stays comfortably in place before paying. For a short trip, a low-cost option that can easily be replaced after the holiday is practical.
