You can make your mask tighter but not too much because that can cause more leaking. To check if your mask is properly fitted, you should put the mask to your face, without putting the strap over your head, and breathe in through your nose. If the mask sticks, it is a good fit, if it falls off, you may need to get a different mask. You should also check if your hair is getting in the seal, if so make sure to take the hair from the seal.

Where can you get a great leakproof mask and snorkel for swimming laps?
If you intend to do the crawl stroke, I find the mask to have too much water resistance to swim forward AND turn the head to breathe. You will find the head will just not turn. If you do not intend to turn the head (and use the snorkel instead), the mask may still have more forward resistance than you would like, tending to feel like someone is pushing the mask downward toward your chin. I would recommend goggles with or without a snorkel. It is possible to use goggles with a snorkel.

Finding the Right Snorkel Equipment?
Snorkel equipment is actually quite simple, with the three main pieces of equipment being a mask, snorkel, and fins. If you snorkel often, it is advisable to buy your own equipment. Using those offered by hotels or other companies is fine once in awhile, but frequent use could lead to an infection. Other times, the snorkel equipment just doesn't fit. To acquire the perfect feel and limit your risk of infection, read on for information on how to buy a mask, snorkel, and fins. When buying a snorkel mask, look for one that has a soft silicone skirt that goes around the mask's exterior. This material will conform to your face and ensure water does not reach your eyes. The fit of a snorkel mask is really all about how it can conform to the shape of your face. Also look at the nose pocket of the mask. The bottom of the nose pocket should extend past your nose so that the two aren't touching. If they are touching, you won't be able to properly exhale. The best snorkels have a flexible tube that connects the mouthpiece and the extended portion of the snorkel. This flexible tube will allow for optimal positioning while you are underwater. To reduce water entering the snorkel, look for one that has an enclosed end and reservoir below the mouthpiece. Also look to make sure the snorkel comes with an attached snorkel keeper. This is a flexible strap that goes around the mask to make sure you don't lose your snorkel. Finally, look for fins that are appropriate for the type of snorkeling you plan to do. If you will be in an area with minimal waves, short fins are best. Larger fins will help you propel through powerful waves and currents. Also consider whether you want full-footed fins. These type of fins are placed over bare feet. If you plan to wear shoes or booties in the water, look for a pair of open-heeled fins.

Can you rent snorkel gear at Hilton head island?
I don't know if snorkel gear can be rented at Hilton Head. I always take my own because often times the gear you rent will be wore out. Good snorkel gear isn't that expensive and it packs well into luggage. Take your own mask and snorkel at least, you will be glad you did. Rent fins would be OK.
