A diving mask rightfully belongs to the absolute basic equipment. Only thanks to it is it possible to dive comfortably, but also to move comfortably in the water, on the surface and under it. The differences in their types and situations of use are very wide, so it is important to pay special attention to the selection.
ATTENTION, when choosing a diving mask, get professional advice and put proper functionality first. Sort appearance, color or accessories until further places.
Choosing a really high-quality diving mask is a multi-step process that we do not recommend bypassing. In this chapter, we focus on masks for the widest possible use - scuba diving and snorkeling.
- The mask must be tried directly on the face.
- Place the mask without the strap on your face and gently suck in the air through your nose.
- A well-fitting mask, without air leakage, will not fall off the face.
- The mask must fit comfortably in every part of the face, it must not press anywhere.
- Place the band in front of your head and tighten it slightly, let the salesperson check you to assess the size and fit of the mask.
Never tighten modern silicone masks tightly with a tape - this only leads to their deformation and possible water penetration. The rule that a tighter mask seals better was valid thirty years ago, not today!
A properly fitted mask does not press anywhere on the face, the soft silicone ensures sufficient tightness. We recommend avoiding other materials.
Always store the dry mask in the designated box or rigid packaging.
Apply anti-fog products from the first use, the glass is provided with a thin layer of material from the factory, which must be treated or removed.
Proper care of the mask will pay you back in many years of its use.
We offer diving masks from quality brands such as Agama, Aropec, Aqua Lung, Cressi, Hollis, Mares and Scubapro. All of these are popular and established brands on the market offering truly quality scuba diving equipment.
Depending on their focus or use, you can choose between masks made of transparent silicone for peripheral perception and more lightness in the mask, someone prefers black silicone to eliminate glare when diving. The cheek pads are made of durable and comfortable materials that fit as closely as possible to the face and, if chosen correctly, seal really well. Some divers prefer single-lens diving masks for an unobstructed view, while others prefer standard dual-lens diving masks.
Very popular masks among divers are also those with a curved visor or with side windows on the sides of the mask. Although these masks offer an unprecedented possibility of peripheral vision, we always warn customers about unusual angles and refractions of the image compared to a normal view without a mask. In addition, everything is enhanced underwater by changing the perception of the distance and size of the monitored objects. Some divers are sensitive to such visual phenomena and therefore there is no shame in admitting discomfort or insecurity. We will surely find a suitable solution together.
Some masks are made frameless and with a smaller distance between the eyes and the glass. It differs by the distance of the silicone at the root or tip of the nose. This is a completely normal situation, admit the places of unpleasant pressure and together we will find a mask more suitable for your face.
Diving masks also differ in their weight and internal volume. We have such a wide selection and stock that we can serve every customer.
Some diving masks for scuba diving are also adapted for divers with prescription glasses. So you can buy a mask here, into which we will insert diopters according to your needs. These dioptric diving masks are also prepared in various colors and designs.
