MASKS
The main reason to go scuba diving is to see what's under the
water. This makes a diver's mask selection very important. To
tell if a mask fits properly, hold the mask up to your face and
inhale lightly. If the mask sticks to your face, then it fits
correctly. If it doesn't, air is leaking and preventing the
seal.
Any dive mask you buy should be made of shatterproof glass.
Masks are referred to as high volume or low volume, indicating
the amount air space inside the mask. Masks with side ports
increase your field of vision, and are usually high volume. Low
volume are easier to clear and can offer a better field of
vision.
Some masks have a purge valve. This device allows you to clear
water out of the mask by simply looking down and blowing out
your nose.
Scuba masks are designed so you can pinch your nose with one
hand. This way you can equalize your ears as you descend.
Another consideration when picking a scuba mask is whether the
mask is made of rubber or silicone. Basically rubber costs a
little less than silicone, but will not last as long.

head back and place any of the OMS ICU ™ masks on your face, that the
weight of the mask, when you gently inhale through your nose, will allow

that the ICU ™ masks are superbly engineered to provide the necessary
field of view to read your gauges, and locate essential equipment.
