📏 Ocean Reef Aria QR+ Size Guide: Find Your Perfect Fit
Selecting the correct size for your Ocean Reef Aria QR+ full face snorkeling mask is essential for a comfortable, watertight, and safe snorkeling experience. A mask that is too small can be uncomfortable and restrict breathing, while a mask that is too large will leak.
How to Measure for Your Aria QR+ Mask
- Close Your Mouth: Keep your mouth naturally closed during the measurement.
-
Locate the Measurement Points:
- Starting Point: The indentation/hollow area between your eyebrows, just above the bridge of your nose.
- Ending Point: The bottom of your chin.
- Measure the Distance: Using a ruler or a soft measuring tape, measure the straight-line distance (vertically) from the Starting Point to the Ending Point.

🧐 Testing Your Fit (The Vacuum Test)
Once you receive your mask, perform this simple test before entering the water to confirm you have a good seal:
- Position the Mask: Place the mask on your face without adjusting the straps.
- Inhale Sharply: Inhale quickly and deeply through your nose.
-
Check the Seal:
- ✅ Good Fit: The mask should temporarily suction to your face and stay in place without holding it, creating a perfect vacuum seal.
- ❌ Poor Fit: If the mask does not suction or immediately falls off, air is leaking, and you likely need a different size.
Important Notes on Sizing
- Facial Hair: Be aware that heavy beards or mustaches can prevent a full face mask from creating a necessary watertight seal, regardless of the size chosen. Shaving or trimming may be required for optimal performance.
- Safety First: A properly sized mask is essential for the function of the dry top and purge valve systems. Always test the fit before use.
