(1) Dive Mask and Snorkel Your dive  mask  creates a pocket of air in front of your eyes and nose so you can see clearly underwater and equalize the pressure on your ears and sinuses as you go deeper.

Diving is an easy and interesting sport which, for many, becomes an addiction! Diving allows you to discover underwater worlds and ecosystems which would otherwise be inaccessible. You can explore and photograph shipwrecks, caves, reefs, rock formations and take in the breathtaking beauty of this underwater world.
