How to Try on a Scuba Diving Mask

Look in all directions to check the mask's field of vision.

Look around in all directions, up, down, left and right. Observe your field of vision and see if you like it. Check the amount of light that gets into the mask. Some divers like clear mask skirts, which allow more light into the mask, and others prefer black silicon seals that allow less.

By following these steps, you should be able to determine if a mask will fit both your face and your diving needs.
