Dive MaskHow to Choose the Right Dive Mask: A Detailed Guide

While there are many diving mask features that make one design superior to another, choosing the right dive mask for you really comes down to personal preference.

Understanding the Anatomy of the Dive Mask

Regardless of the diving mask that you choose, it is important you understand the basic elements included in all dive masks. While different manufacturers will take unique approaches in their designs, all dive masks will have the following features:

Frame: Frames are what give the mask its strength and holds everything together in one place.

Lens: These tempered glass panes are what you look through. The higher the quality, the better your vision will be under the water.

Skirt: Mask skirts create the watertight seal against the skin. You want this to be secure so as to avoid any leaking or fogging up of the glass.

Buckle: You use this to adjust the tightness.

Strap: The strap helps keep the mask firmly in place.

The Three Types of Diving Masks

Single Lens Mask

This diving mask uses a single pane of glass that provides a wide and uninterrupted view of the ocean. Single lens diving masks are perfect for divers who want to see as much as they can on their underwater adventures.

Twin Lens Mask

The twin lens mask is basically a single pane of glass that is split into two. While this provides a slightly more limited view than the single lens, this mask is often compatible with prescription lenses, allowing users that wear glasses to see clearly underwater.

Multi Lens Mask

The multi lens mask offers the feature of extra lens panels to the side, so that you can catch movement in your peripheral vision. These extra panels also increase the amount of light that is being let into the mask, helping the mask feel more open.

Dive Mask Considerations to Make

When you are searching for the perfect diving mask, there are numerous factors to consider. Sometimes, there are so many decisions to make that it can all feel quite overwhelming. So, to help make the process easier, we have put together a list of the most important considerations to make so that you don’t miss out on checking the essentials. Discover the top dive mask considerations you need to make before placing a purchase:

The Mask Skirt

If you remember, this is the part of the mask that secures to your face, creating a watertight seal. Not all skirts are created equally and, therefore, it is important to try out a couple to find the most comfortable one for you. Depending on the cost of the mask, some skirts are made from silicone and others are made from plastic, which can be less comfortable.

Diving Mask Frame

Frames come in all shapes, colours and styles. Some mask frames can be folded flat and others hold the same shape continually. Choosing the right dive mask frame really comes down to your personal preference. You need to try on a couple to find the best fit for you.

Dive Lenses

At a minimum, your diving mask lens should be fitted with tempered glass. This is important because tempered glass shatters differently to normal glass. Instead of shattering, tempered glass will crumble into tiny chunks, making it far less likely to cause an injury. It is important to realise that even tempered glass can break if enough force or pressure is applied. So, be sure to treat your dive mask carefully.

Some diving mask lenses are fitted with filters that reduce colour tints and improve the transmittance of light, making colours underwater seem more vibrant. Other lenses are fitted with anti-reflective coatings or corrective lenses. At Oyster Diving, we sell a huge variety of lens types.
