A simple guide to choosing a mask

Your mask is a vital piece of snorkelling and diving equipment, creating an air space in front of your eyes and allowing you to focus underwater. They also enclose the nose in a pocket, so you can equalise your ears as you descend underwater. It is imperative to have a comfortable watertight mask to enjoy your time in the water or dive. Your mask is a mandatory piece of personal equipment.

Masks are your window on the underwater world. The most important factor with masks is that they feel comfortable to wear, that they fit and seal well around your face and that you have good vision through them. Another factor important for those who wear glasses or contact lenses is whether or not the mask can be fitted with corrective lenses.

Scuba Diving Masks on eBay

Some greta deals on eBay, but only buy once you know which one fits your face. i.e. you already own one and like it; then eBay is a great way to pick up spares.

Preparing Your Mask

Once you are happy with your choice of mask, to help avoid fogging you should consider purchasing some de fog solution to use prior to each dive.

When the mask is new rub normal toothpaste on the inside of the lenses and rinse off (only do this if your mask has glass lenses). This removes the protective film over the inside of the lenses that can cause fogging.

To protect your investment of purchasing a good quality mask you should also purchase a Padded Mask Bag which can store your mask when not in use. They are inexpensive and will extend the life of your mask.
