Face mask for diving

A face mask for diving comprising:

• a lens frame including a lens retained thereby;
• a substantially cylindrical skirt having a proximal edge fixed to said lens frame and a face-contactable section adapted to be elastically held in contact with the wearer's face;
• wherein said face-contactable section has a distal edge roundly bulging so as to have a substantially circular cross-sectional shape, wherein said skirt has a bifurcation point located approximately at midpoint between said proximal edge and said distal edge an outward extending sub-section, the skirt also having an inward extending sub-section, wherein said skirt has a thickness gradually reduced from said bifurcation point toward said distal edges of said inward and outward extending sub-sections and increased again at said distal edges.

• wherein said face-contactable section has a distal edge roundly bulging so as to have a substantially circular cross-sectional shape, wherein said face-contactable section is bifurcated into an inward extending sub-section and an outward extending sub-section, and wherein at least said outward extending sub-section of said inward and outward extending sub-sections has a concavely curved surface opposite a face contactable surface of the outward extending sub-section, the concavely curved surface present prior to any contact of the outwardly extending subsection with a face of a user.
