Can you dive with a full face snorkel mask?

How tight should a snorkel mask be?
You should get an airtight fit with very light strap pressure. The strap should sit high on the back of your head, not resting on your ears. If it rests on your ears it will get painful. If you have to pull the straps tight to get a fit, or if you have big red marks when it comes off, you have it too tight.
