Nurul Hidayah –
The Sherwood MA20 fits very well and was comfortable even after a long dive. Adjusting the straps while wearing gloves was easy and the purge system worked as described. No fogging or leaks so far. Highly recommended for beginner divers like me.

Can the MA20 mask handle repeated dives in saltwater without showing wear? I’m planning a trip to Tioman and will be diving daily.
Junhao Lo –
Hi Raymond, the Sherwood MA20 is constructed with marine-grade, corrosion-resistant materials designed for frequent saltwater use. For best longevity, we recommend rinsing the mask thoroughly with fresh water after each dive and storing it in its protective case when not in use.
Suresh Kumar –
I noticed the visibility is really good compared to my previous mask, even in low light. However, the nose pocket feels a bit tight for me after an hour. Is there any way to adjust that?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your feedback, Suresh. We’re glad you found the visibility improved. For the nose pocket, slight adjustments to the strap tension or repositioning may help relieve pressure; if discomfort persists, please contact us so we can assist with fit options or recommendations.
