SMACO Mini Scuba Tank with Snorkel Mask 0.5L Portable Small Diving Tank with Full Face Diving Mask Reusable DOT Certified Pony Bottle Diving Cylinder Kit for Snorkeling Recreational Diving S300Plus

Great quality item!

It took me some time to adjust the mask to fit my whole face, and to get used to the breathing, but after a few minutes of use, I felt really comfortable breathing underwater. It's quite comfortable, with the two snorkels attached to the mask making breathing easy underwater. I was using it in my pool; I haven't used the scuba tank yet, but I plan to on my next trip to the beach.The visibility underwater with this full face snorkel mask is outstanding. I used to use the conventional snorkel set with the partial face mask before, and I must say, this full mask provides a different experience underwater. Not to mention, it is way more comfortable than a conventional mask. I really like it!

The media could not be loaded. This scuba kit comes in on nice zipper case and has everything you need to get started. I do suggest getting a 12 volt pump to recharge the tank. Those hand pumps are not even worth it.Everything seems well made, and fits well together. Great threads and metal work and coding on everything.The mask took a little work to adjust at home right and when I got in the water it was all wrong, LOL. Save your time and adjust it the first time you get in the water.Something I didn't realize is that I can use just the mouthpiece and tank separate from the mask!! This is great to tuck in your waistband or back pocket and run out to the water. I can't believe how easy this is, so cool!

Please be very conscious of what package you buy. This particular one I purchased is an additional unit only if you already have their products. It cannot buy used alone as there is no way to fill it. You have to purchase accessories in order to fill it and use it.

We go to Hawaii every year. I like the bustle of Waikiki, but I also love getting into the water everyday, and I'm always looking for products to make the water play more enjoyable. The SMACO Mini Scuba Tank with Snorkel Mask looked like an exciting addition to my arsenal, so I snapped it up to give it a go. My impressions:- The product includes a soft, padded carrying case. It was shipped in the case, and everything was wrapped and sealed. There were no dings in this puppy, and the padded case guarantees you can lug this around to your destination without fear of damage. Nice!- The product itself appears to be made from high quality parts. The plastic pieces are firm and solid, the metal pieces heavy and robust, and everything fits together without issue. This is one well-designed and manufactured product!- If I were rating this just on the build and packaging, this would be a five-star review. Unfortunately, I decided to give this a workout in our pool, and that's where a couple of glaring issues arose. Probably the most important issue is that there is no way provided in the kit to fill the tank. There are accessories that can be purchased separately: an adapter for filling from a full-size scuba tank, a hand pump, or a compressor. It would be better to provide some adapter to use the hand pumps and compressors I already have (I don't have a full-size scuba tank), but it looks like you need to buy *something* additionally from SMACO in order to fill this tank. Bummer!- The mask seems wonderful! There is full vision when wearing this full face mask, unlike standard masks that block the edges of your vision due to the mask frame. With this mask on I can fully see the environment around me, but unfortunately I can only see it for a couple of minutes before I have to empty my mask of the accumulating water. I could not find an adjustment that would seal the mask tightly enough to prevent water from entering. It may be because I have a beard that interfered with the seal, but regardless the experience was not pleasant.This is a kit that I desperately want to love. I could have so much fun with it if I could get it to work as advertised! I'll keep playing with it in the hopes that I'm doing something wrong and it's not the kit itself, but at this point I can't recommend this kit for real use. If that changes, I'll adjust this review to point that out.

EDIT: After filling a few times and using, it now leaks internally. Currently a slow leak about a small bubble every second from the integrated regulator. It has been shelved as a small leak could easily become just a free-flow situation at any time.Let me start with that I am an active certified diver for over 20 years. Actually going diving in two days. Just setting the stage. I have use a full face mask a few times from other vendors such as scuba pro.I picked up this SMACO Mini Scuba tank with snorkel mask as something fun to try. I was pleasantly surprised with the fit, feel and ease of use.The way the mask is designed gives a huge field of view, with great clarity, and even with my beard I was able to get a great seal around my face. My max depth while trying this mask was only 12 feet over 6 or 7 different tank fills.I was pleasantly surprised at the basic functionality of the mask with a snorkel and a tank attached. Once at the surface it's easier to get air when you take a breath through the snorkel so you are not pulling air from the tank. When you dive down to grab a scallop or something the snorkel closes and you are now sucking air from the tank. This transition happens seamlessly and works fairly well to help save your tank air for when it is needed.The tank attachment is solid, and in my opinion better than the snorkel connection, which works just does not feel as solid as the aluminum connection for the tank.My only negative is filling the tank:This kit does not come with a way to fill the tank so you need to: pickup the hand pump, a fill adapter from your scuba tank, or a compressor that can pump it up.I would like to meet the person who says they fill the .5l tank to 3k PSI with the hand pump. Unless they are a very very very angry teenager who eats their spinach with arms like Popeye I do not see this happening.The fill adapter is probably the best way, but now you are carrying around another larger heavier tank to fill your baby tank.The last option is to fill with a compressor, and ensure you have the proper filtration and compressor truly intended for compressed breathing air.
