An innovative flooded mask allows seeing both in air and underwater, thus overcoming the drawbacks of the commercially available masks. The underwater telescope scheme is applied to a new flooded scuba mask obtaining correct eyesight in both underwater and above-water conditions. Optical design analyses and a test campaign on a sample of free divers have demonstrated that the mask is able to provide a well corrected vision in both conditions. Three prototypes, with increasing optical performances, have been optically and mechanically designed and then realized.

Abstract
An innovative flooded mask allows seeing both in air and underwater, thus overcoming the drawbacks of the commercially available masks. The underwater telescope scheme is applied to a new flooded scuba mask obtaining correct eyesight in both underwater and above-water conditions. Optical design analyses and a test campaign on a sample of free divers have demonstrated that the mask is able to provide a well corrected vision in both conditions. Three prototypes, with increasing optical performances, have been optically and mechanically designed and then realized.File in questo prodotto:
