I have a mustache that I trimmed short (normally keep it short, but I made sure to get it short just before the class thinking it would have less chance of breaking the mask seal).
The first day, I had very little problem getting my mask to seal. However I confess to forgetting that I had it on and exhaling through my nose a bit too much.
The second day, I could not get it to seal at all! To make it worse, the chlorine in the pool was outrageous. My eyes burned so bad.
Third day was kinda in between. I had some initial trouble with leaking, and then for a good 15 mins or so I got lucky and got a good seal.
the instructor and dive master had some suggestions such as silicone grease (where do you get that anyway?), leaving the 'stache a bit longer so that the hairs would lie down easier, or shaving down a bit under the nose (which I tried some the third day, but I didnt want to look too funny).
Anyone have the magic solution? And I think I look REALLY funny with it shaved off so I dont really wanna do that
