Why is a proper-fitting scuba mask important?

A properly fitting mask creates a watertight seal, allowing you to see clearly underwater without leaks or discomfort. An ill-fitting mask can lead to fogging, pressure points, or constant clearing during your dive.

What is the difference between single-lens and dual-lens masks?

Single-lens masks have one continuous piece of glass, offering a wider field of view. Dual-lens masks have two separate lenses and often allow for prescription lens replacement, making them ideal for divers who wear glasses.

How do I check if a scuba mask fits my face?

Press the mask against your face without using the strap and inhale gently through your nose. If the mask stays in place without air leaking in, it likely fits well. Be sure it doesn't pinch your nose or create gaps on your forehead or cheeks.

Why do scuba masks fog up?

Masks fog up due to condensation on the inner lens surface. This happens when warm, moist air from your face meets the cooler lens. Defog solutions, baby shampoo, or saliva can help prevent this during dives.

How do I prevent mask fogging?

Before each dive, apply a defog solution or a small amount of baby shampoo to the inside of the lens, then rinse lightly. For new masks, scrub the lens with a non-abrasive toothpaste to remove factory film that causes fogging.

What features should I look for in a scuba mask?

Look for tempered glass lenses, a comfortable silicone skirt, adjustable straps, and a low volume design for easier clearing. Optional features include a purge valve, frameless design, or wide-view lenses.

Can I wear glasses with a scuba mask?

No, traditional glasses do not fit inside scuba masks. If you need vision correction, choose a mask that supports prescription lenses or use contact lenses while diving.

How should I care for my scuba mask?

Rinse your mask thoroughly with fresh water after each dive. Store it in a protective case out of direct sunlight. Avoid touching the inside of the lens to maintain anti-fog treatments.
