Diving Mask - Related Equipment

Related Equipment

There are several specialised types of diving headgear or outerwear:

  • full face diving mask - often worn by working divers who need underwater verbal communication ability.
  • diving helmet - often worn by divers using surface supplied diving equipment.
  • hard hat - part of the old fashioned standard diving dress.
  • fluid filled mask - the need to equilibrate the internal pressure in the mask by exhaling air through the nose reduces the freediver capacity to dive deep. Masks or swimming goggles with high power lenses (40-200 diopters) have been developed in this view: they are filled with water or saline fluid.

Famous quotes containing the words related and/or equipment:

    “So-called “austerity,” the stoic injunction, is the path towards universal destruction. It is the old, the fatal, competitive path. “Pull in your belt” is a slogan closely related to “gird up your loins,” or the guns-butter metaphor.”
    —Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    “Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
