Thank you for choosing the Subea Easybreath Mask, one of Decathlon's premier snorkeling products.
At Decathlon, our commitment to your safety is unwavering. Snorkeling is an exhilarating activity, and we want to ensure you and your family experience it safely and comfortably. If you've recently purchased an EasyBreath mask, whether for yourself or your children, it's imperative to understand the maintenance and checks necessary to keep it in optimal condition.
Regular Maintenance & Safety Checks
Why It's Important: Continuous exposure to sand, salt, and water can wear out even the most durable snorkeling equipment. Regularly inspecting your mask is the first step to ensuring a safe snorkeling experience.
Here are detailed steps to ensure your mask remains in peak condition:
1. Snorkel Ball Movement:
- Ensure that the ball inside the snorkel moves freely.
- This ball helps prevent water from entering the snorkel. Any obstruction could affect its performance.
2. Inspect the Snorkel Seal:
- Examine the seal around the snorkel to ensure it's free from wear, tears, or any damage.
- A compromised seal can allow water ingress, hindering your breathing.
3. Valve Verification:
- Your mask contains three critical valves. Make sure all are present and correctly positioned.
- These valves play a crucial role in airflow and water drainage.
4. Mask Fit and Clarity:
- Ensure the mask fits snugly against your face without any gaps. A well-fitted mask helps prevent water leakage.
- Be alert to any condensation around your eyes. This could indicate a poor fit or potential seal issues.
5. Compatibility Matters:
- Pair your EasyBreath mask only with the recommended associated snorkel.
- Mixing and matching with other brands or models can compromise the mask's performance.
6. Flexible Part Positioning (For Adults):
- If you have an adult mask, inspect the position of the mask's flexible part. This component ensures comfort and a secure fit.
If you ever encounter doubts about your mask's condition or believe there's a defect, please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated customer support team. Alternatively, you can visit your nearest Decathlon store for assistance.
Additional Safety Tips for Snorkeling Enthusiasts:
- Stay Aware of Your Surroundings: Always keep an eye out for boats, jet skis, and other watercraft. Use a snorkeling buoy or flag to make yourself visible.
- Avoid Solo Adventures: Snorkel with a buddy. It's not just more fun, but having someone with you increases safety dramatically.
- Stay Close to Shore: Especially if you're a beginner, it's safer to stay close to the shoreline where the water is calmer.
- Mind the Marine Life: Remember that you're a visitor in the underwater world. Avoid touching or disturbing marine life, and be cautious of any creatures that might be harmful.
Dive into the beauty of the underwater realm with confidence and safety.
