How Do You Know if It’s Time to Replace My Dive Mask

If your dive mask is getting very old, it may begin to show some signs that it is ready for a replacement. Some standard red flags include scratches on the lens, yellowing silicone at the edges, a strap that’s loose or broken and a lens that looks fogged and won’t clear. If you find any of these signs, it may be time to buy a new Dive Mask.

The Pros of Investing in a New Dive Mask

A new dive mask can assist you in countless ways. A new mask with a clear lens and excellent fit, can make for better viewing and an enjoyable dive. It may also form a better seal — less water will leak in to your mask as you dive. And, a well-made Dive Mask can last for years to come, saving you money down the road.

How to evaluate your existing dive mask for fit

If you’re wondering whether your dive mask needs an upgrade, you can perform a simple test.

If you notice any issues, it might be time to find a new dive mask.
