Hi Woody,

Forget the dive mask idea - go with QUALITY swimming goggles. Trouble with a facemask is that the extra volume of the design gives the water too much levereage to break the seal - even perhaps washing it off your face entirely. You can control this to a great degree by firmly holding the mask to your face but then you have to free a hand from the paddle. Goggles Woody, goggles.
