Silicone Masks are Designed to Have a Memory Fit New snorkelers and scuba divers frequently share scuba masks, use loaners or rent their equipment. Invest in a new mask, if you want it to fit properly and function well. The easiest way to spoil your time in the water is to wear a mask that does not seal to your face. You will constantly be clearing water from your mask. The pliable skirting on quality masks is designed to mold to the contours of a diver's face. The soft silicone material will hold that shape - unless others try to use the same mask. If you borrow a friend's mask, the mask likely will leak because the skirt won't fit your face. You also will destroy the "memory" fit for your friend.

Choose a Mask That Fits Well and Doesn't Leak

What makes one mask better than another? Snorkelers and scuba divers alike want to see well in the water. But there are several features to consider:

• The mask should fit well. Press it against your face and breathe in through your nose. It should create a tight vacuum without squeezing your face.
• The mask should not leak. A small amount of water seeping into the mask is normal. But you don't want a steady stream. It will spoil your time in the water.
• Your dive mask should provide a clear window underwater. Masks come in a variety of shapes and styles for the face plates.
• It's always a good idea to get your mask fitted correctly.

Prescription Dive Masks Help with Poor Eyesight

Prescription masks are the answer for snorkelers and scuba divers who wear prescription eyeglasses. It does not matter whether you are near-sighted, far-sighted or require bifocals. With prescription masks, you can see as well in the water as you do wearing eyeglasses on land.

The best part is don't always need to buy a new dive mask. We may be able to add corrective lens to your existing dive mask. You just pop in with your prescription and mask and we will arrange the rest.

The corrective lens size is made as large as possible, so your clear vision will not be limited. The corrective lens is bonded to the glass plate with a clear adhesive, which should not come off.

If you wear contact lenses, you may still benefit from a prescription dive mask.
