for snorkelling, go with something that fits and is comfortable. You should be able to hold the mask up to your face, without the strap on, and just by trying to breathe in through your nose hold the mask in place (no hands).No need to spend a fortune on a mask, save that for some huge fins to help to swim against the tide/current
Cant really go wrong with that one at that price.
Yep think I will give them a try so long as they are not just toys. Been looking at pro masks and even they are not that expensive.

Try to find a local Decathalon or diving shop and go try a few masks on for size. Different masks all fit differently. Some will leak even though they appear to be the same size as the one next to it that doesn't. Once you find one you like that fits, go and find it online or bite the bullet and pay up in the shop.A good mask isnt expensive. An expensive mask isnt nessesarily good. Just the same as crash helmets really.
You’re gonna ride in the rain aren’t you?

I used a Full Face snorkel like below, during the summer out in Turkey.Worked really well, felt unobtrusive, plus I imagine quite similar to wearing a diving mask (without the tethered tank).With this you have a great field of view plus all your face is enclosed, also you have no snorkel stuck in your mouth, feels natural.Got it from Amazon for around £40. Was excellent quality and had no issues using it for long periods (couple of hours each session).Also had an attachment for a GoPro etc. Mine was all Black, did look a little like Darth Vader!
Yes I did come across these, but not used. They have a float in the top of the tube to prevent water getting down.They are £24 in Decathlon

One issue for us is that the full masks are a little too bulky when packing for a flight
