How to choose the right mask size
You need to position your mask on your face without the strap, and press with your hands to make sure it’s firmly in place, blocking your breath.
If the mask "suctions” properly, and stays stuck to your face, it’s perfect and means that it is your size and will be watertight.
If it unsticks and falls off, that means that air is getting through, and so water will get in, so you’ll need to try another size or another mask.
Avoid the appearance of mist in your mask
New mask: Wash your mask with washing-up liquid and warm water, using your fingers, to remove any grease. Do not use a sponge.
Before each use, spit into your mask and wipe the lens with your fingers to rinse the mask.
Dampen your face with the water to limit heat loss between the skin and the lens of your mask, as this will reduce mist.
Skirt
Compact skirt to fit thin face shapes. No frame, the skirt is moulded onto the window.
Silicone
Silicone is an extremely flexible material. A silicone skirt conforms gently to the contours of the face, creating a watertight seal. The material is hypoallergenic.
Micro-adjustment buckles
Micrometric buckles together with the notched strap on either side of the mask allow easy and highly accurate adjustment of the mask, even when wearing gloves.
Internal volume
The volume of air inside the mask, between the face and the lens, represents the internal volume. For freedivers and spearfishers, the internal volume of the mask must be minimised to facilitate equalisation.
Equalisation
The mask is pressed against the face when descending. As you dive underwater, pressure is applied to the mask’s soft skirt, reducing the internal volume and pressing the mask against the face. This phenomenon, which can cause pain in the eyes, can be avoided by equalising the internal pressure of the mask and the external pressure exerted by the water. Simply breathe out gently through your nose. Air is very valuable in under water sports, so this equalising effect must be kept to a minimum.
