búvármaszks

Búvármaszks, also known as diving masks, are essential pieces of equipment for underwater exploration. They are designed to create an air pocket in front of the diver's eyes, allowing them to see clearly beneath the water's surface. Without a mask, the refractive index of water would cause objects to appear blurry and distorted.

The primary function of a búvármaszks is to equalize the pressure between the diver's face and the surrounding water. As a diver descends, the external water pressure increases. By exhaling a small amount of air from the nose into the mask, the diver can push this increased pressure against their face, preventing discomfort or injury.

Modern búvármaszks typically feature a tempered glass or plastic lens, a flexible skirt made of silicone or rubber that creates a watertight seal, and an adjustable strap to secure the mask to the diver's head. The skirt is crucial for preventing water from entering the mask. Different mask designs cater to various facial structures and diving needs, with options ranging from single-lens to multi-lens configurations and specialized masks for activities like freediving or snorkeling. The materials used are chosen for their durability, flexibility, and ability to withstand the underwater environment. Proper fit and maintenance are vital for a búvármaszks to function effectively and safely.
