A Scuba diving bubble diverter adapted for use by a diver wearing a diving mask having a strap and regulator comprising:
- an upper section including conduits, formed adjacent to the left and right sides of the mask above said skirt,
- said upper section further including slits formed within said upper section, for attaching the diverter to the mask by inserting the strap of the mask through said slits;
- a skirt extending below the mask and over a front portion of the regulator wherein said skirt and conduits channel bubbles exhausted from the regulator away from the front of the mask, such that the bubbles are diverted away from the diver's line of vision.
A Scuba diving bubble diverter adapted for use by a diver wearing a diving mask and regulator comprising:
- A skirt extending below the mask and over a front portion of the regulator, said skirt including a thin flexible material forming a section of the skirt corresponding to a purge area of the regulator, for enabling the diver to control the regulator purge system by pushing through the skirts,
- said skirt further comprising conduits wherein said skirt and conduits channel bubbles exhausted from the regulator away from the front of the mask, such that the bubbles are diverted away from the diver's line of vision, said skirt and conduits being made of a flexible material.
