It is hard to see under water without ample eye protection. A dive mask is literally your window to the underwater world. Unlike other diving accessories, dive masks are more personal. They should be form-fitting and must suit a wearer’s face profile well for a comfortable dive.

Choose the right mask for your needs and it will provide you with clear and safe vision in the water. Firstly, the mask must have a good water seal without forcing you to over-tighten the strap. You can actually test a face seal without the strap in place. Just place the mask over your face and breathe in slightly through your nose. A good mask will hold it in place when you take your hand away.
