Like a lot of other people, I had scuba on my bucket list too. When me and my friend planned our trip to Thailand, we came to Koh Samui specifically for Scuba. My friend backed out at the last minute and I decided to do it alone nonetheless.. and I’m so happy that I went ahead with it.

How do I even describe this feeling? It feels surreal to say the least? It was a different world altogether, something that I couldn’t have ever imagined. Nothing that I have ever experienced before. I don’t even know how to explain it, just feels like I achieved something haha. For the first time in a long time, I feel alive (excuse the dramatic tone) Real good feeling. Just thought of sharing it here! Thanks for reading(:

first scuba trip abroad I'm looking for recommendations of what type of suit to get for my first trip abroad I'm gonna dive in the red sea in mid March!! i am completely unsure on type and thickness! i am a smaller woman and run relatively cold!

Hi fellow divers!

I’ve been working on a personal project that started with a frustrating mask-fit problem: pressure around my lower forehead and the bridge of my nose, combined with leaks at the temples.

That led me to develop a concept I call ScubaForm.

The idea is to allow the mask’s frame curvature to be individually fitted before diving, while keeping a conventional silicone skirt. Once fitted, it retains that shape — the adjustment happens on land, not underwater.

The photo shows an early prototype. I’ve tried the approach on several existing mask models, with encouraging initial results for my own fit and comfort. A few other people who tried it also reported an improvement, although these are still small, early tests rather than a finished, validated product.

To be transparent, I’m the person developing it, and I’d really appreciate some honest feedback from other divers:

• Have you experienced forehead or nose-bridge pressure, or persistent temple leaks, even after trying different masks?

• Would a one-time fitting step be worthwhile if it improved comfort and sealing?

• What would your biggest concern be with a mask like this?

Personal experiences, questions, and skeptical takes are all welcome.

Thanks for taking a look ❤️
