More and more modern people are overcome by longing in the stone jungle. Each of us eagerly awaits the long-awaited vacation and begins to prepare for it well in advance. Rest can be calm and moving. Today we want to attract the attention of those people who like to practice scuba diving. It is known to many that this is the most original method to get acquainted with a world that is beyond our control. For this lesson you will need a swimming mask. We will study all the subtleties of choice and operation.

How and from what

First of all, it is necessary to find out what basic parts the underwater mask consists of. There are three of them, we'll get to know them better:

1. Housing. Basically, on each specimen it is soft. It is made of silicone or rubber. When choosing a mask, you must take into account the color of the case. If it is black, this will create discomfort to your review. But the light body is not so good either. It creates many bright glare that can dazzle. The choice should be based on your individual preferences. On sale you can find a mask with a protrusion for the nose and protection for the ears. It is better to give preference to a specimen with a small free space that does not exceed 300 mm ² . The body of the mask should carefully surround the face, but do not squeeze it.
2. Rim. Without it, a real swimming mask can not be dispensed with. Close attention will be paid to the windows, which are kept at the expense of the rim. If you are going to dive shallowly, enough monoculars. For all other cases, choose a double view. If you have serious problems with the eyes - this is not an excuse to give up your favorite occupation. Especially for such people there are masks with diopters that will correct your vision. Here, you will have to rely entirely on a qualified seller who will help you decide on the choice.
3. Strap fastening. This is another major component, without which there is not a single quality mask. The main role of the strap is to create a tightness, and also to fix the mask on the head. It must be regulated to a certain size. The fastening strap must have swivel buckles.

These are the details of each underwater mask.

The main advantage of such an accessory is that it does not interfere with the review when you are engaged in diving or underwater hunting. It is worth paying attention to the fact that a good model of the tube should have a flexible segment that is located near the mouthpiece.

Do not choose too small a size. Will constantly get water and create unnecessary discomfort. Optimal for the tube diameter is 2.5 cm with an oval channel cross section.
3. Valve. Its presence eliminates the need for a constant blowing of the tube, which must be done after each dive. The valve can be found in two types: disk and ball.
4. Additional fasteners. For diving, the swimming mask and the tube must be a single unit. The fasteners can be of two variants: under the mask with the help of straps and plastic clips or rubber rings. All of them must be regulated.
