| Why have your mask professionally fitted by Seastyle? |
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 at your local dive shop.
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.
Don't Sacrifice Quality Masks for a Cheaper Price
Each piece of your snorkeling/scuba equipment performs a vital job. Whether it is your mask or buoyancy compensator, you need equipment that functions well and withstands the elements.
If you choose a cheap mask, for example -- and there are plenty out there -- you are likely to get one made of plastic, instead of rubber or silicone. The mask will be stiff against your face, leak and crack. Limit these masks for your kids' horseplay in the pool.
The bottom line is to buy a quality mask that fits well and won't leak during your dive.
