Those are pretty cool. When I swim I see some people using something similar. Mostly old people who have problems turning their head.
Any SCUBA masks that let you breathe through your nose?

While my snorkel gear is decent, this design is going to force me to buy one once available in the US.

Man, I been diving a long time, certified on 3 different rebreathers, full cave , dive often to 200' on Trimix, and seen all sorts of mistakes underwater all most cost people their lives
Some of these comments being said I can't believe some of you even past the test, let alone didn't kill your self yet underwater
Do your self a favor before you kill yourself or someone else
Hire a private instructor, that has a option to dive in a pool. Take as long as you need to get comfortable breathing through a regulator
Just because you pass the pool test once you get used to it, at depth, where they will take you probably down to 60', you will be overloaded with multitasking, as breathing is only one part of the many survival skills needed at depth.
What are you going to do when the noobie diver next to you, kicks your regulator out of your mouth, or knocks your mask off with his fins
Even if it cost you double or triple the cost, the instructor will give you independent classes, and be their next to you if you panic etc.

I just took my scuba certification test and asked my instructor about this and checked the book and this seems to be correct by my two sources. The instructor put it to me this way. If you have only the weight belts on you will drop to the bottom so weights don't make you neutrally buoyant. My instructor told me once you are in the water there is no changing the weights. The adjustments must be made through the BCD to become neutrally buoyant.
He also said I should tell you guys go out and enjoy the water insteas of agrueing about this.
I will ask my physics professor about this on Tuesday.

I strive to wear the minimum amount of weight that will allow me to be neutrally bouyant with a near empty tank. This means I will always start out a little bit negatively bouyant (at least I am if I fully exhale). If you're truly neutrally bouyant how can you descend without actively swimming down?
To help your original question, full face masks are the only option to breath through your nose. I use one for work. They suck. You spend the dive constantly screwing around with it trying to get it to not leak. They use more gas and they take forever to put on.
Try a regular mask and snorkel in the pool. Then do a scuba intro course and tell the divemaster your issue, he will work with you a bit. If it's still an issue, then you may be S.O.L. no big deal, scuba isn't for everyone.
