Scuba Mask

Scuba Mask...An Unmatched Selection of Dive Mask and Snorkeling Mask. Let us help you choose the correct Mask.

Have you ever been snorkeling or scuba diving and your mask started leaking? It probably means that you were improperly fit for your mask. Fit is absolutely the most essential element in selecting masks. Scuba masks must be comfortable and must have a watertight seal. There are several tests to see if diving masks fit properly. The first one is the dry fit test. Look up while putting the mask on, without securing the strap. Diving masks should touch all parts of the face evenly. Now do the same thing while trying to inhale gently. This is the suction test. You should notice a tight seal. Try these two simple tests to know you have the correct fit.

Other things to consider when looking for scuba masks are construction, size, and lens. Scuba masks are generally made of silicone because it's non-allergenic and resists deterioration. Frames are generally made of hard plastic to reduce weight and to lengthen the life of dive masks.

Different Mask frame shapes allow for a leak free Mask!

There are many frames targeted for specific face shapes. Special models are aimed at smaller faces, especially geared for women and youngsters. Low-volume scuba masks are another option in sizes and shapes. This design uses less space which moves the lens closer to your eyes. Low-volume offers more peripheral vision, decreases distortion, and enhances light

Over the years lenses on scuba masks have improved dramatically. Lenses are made of tempered glass, not plastic. This is to prevent distortion and fogging, minimize scratching, and to allow vision correction. There are also single lens, double lens and 4 lens masks. Single lens masks may be best for those who do not need vision correction. Double lens scuba masks may help with vision problems. Many manufacturers create masks that are compatible with prescription lenses. Some manufacturers have created a 4 lens scuba mask. This greatly improves range of vision. The two lenses have been placed on the sides of the scuba mask to extend side views. Cressi has created a teardrop shape lens which assists in creating an extended downward view. There is an option for everyone so that they may enjoy their dive.

After purchasing a dive mask it is important to do a pre-dive cleaning. This will help eliminate problems with fogging during a dive. Wash your scuba mask with warm soapy water to remove the manufacturer's preservative lubricant. Scour the inside of the lens with a mild abrasive cleaner. The lens must be thoroughly cleaned in order to prevent fogging.
