The Mares Dory Mask exceeded my expectations. It’s easy to put on and take off, and the field of vision is truly amazing. I can see everything around me without any distortion. My only complaint is that it’s a bit pricey, but it’s worth it in my opinion.

I purchased the Mares Dory Mask as a gift for my snorkelling-buddy and it was a great purchase. The quality and comfort were top-notch and it was very easy to use. However, it would’ve been nice if it included a carrying case, as the one included was a bit flimsy.

How does the Mares Dory Mask handle in strong currents?
Junhao Lo –
Hi Kevin, thank you for reaching out to us about your concern with the Mares Dory Mask’s performance in strong currents. The Mares Dory Mask is designed for general snorkelling use and not specifically designed for diving in strong currents. However, its robust construction and secure fit should help to minimize the risk of water entering the mask. We still recommend snorkelling in areas with moderate currents, avoiding strong currents, for a better user experience.

What is the material composition of the Mares Dory Mask, and how durable is it?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out to us, Rachel. The Mares Dory Mask is primarily made of PMMA (Acrylic) for the lens and silicone for the skirt, ensuring a great field of vision and comfortable fit. As for durability, many of our customers have reported excellent experiences with this mask, withstanding various environmental conditions and regular use. However, we recommend proper care and maintenance to ensure its longevity, such as rinsing it with fresh water after each use and storing it in a protective case.

Is this mask suitable for beginners or should I consider the more advanced models?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out, Aisha! The Mares Dory Mask is a great option for beginners. It offers a comfortable fit and a wide field of vision, making it perfect for those just starting to explore the world of snorkelling. While it’s true that more advanced models exist, we find that our customers have had great success with the Dory Mask for casual snorkelling excursions. That being said, if you’re planning to snorkel in areas with strong currents or are looking for more advanced features, we may recommend considering one of our other models. Could you please tell us a bit more about your snorkelling plans and what you’re looking for in a mask?
Sophia Then –
How breathable is this mask? Does it get hot when you wear it for extended periods?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Mares Dory Mask, Sophia! We’re glad you’re enjoying the mask’s field of vision. The Mares Dory Mask is indeed designed for comfort, and its skirt and soft, silicone interior help it sit comfortably on the face. However, we can’t say for certain how it will get in extended use. To give you a better answer, some of our customers have mentioned that they experienced a bit of fogging when wearing the mask for extended periods, but this wasn’t a problem for everyone. If you’re looking for a mask that will stay clear and dry for extended use, you might also consider our Mares Quattro Mask. We’d love to hear more about your snorkelling adventures, Sophia, and if you have any other questions or concerns!
