Seal Mask interesting find

[saadbox13]

I recently purchase the aquasphere Seal mask to practice OW sighting.

I much prefer my $3 sweedish goggles but I noticed a very interesting added value that I should share with everyone here: It appears that the mask has by design a huge air pocket in front of the eyes and the forehead, I had to readjust my head position in the water to compensate for the fact that my head was almost floating. I am a unilateral breather and thought to myself that I should try a few laps breathing unilaterally and....BINGO! the air pocket makes it a bit easier. I will obviously need Months of practice to be comfortable breathing on both sides but I would never had thought that goggles would help me in my quest for bilateral breathing! :)
