Abstract
A scuba mask which can be easily and quickly repositioned when the diver descends into deep water, wherein the pressure change causes the scuba mask to become loose. The coupling member between the fabric body portion and the adjustable straps is flared, increasing its surface area, and allowing any tension created within the scuba mask strap, during use, to be equally distributed throughout the mask.
