Check your Easybreath mask before use
Before each use, check your Easybreath and, in particular, your child's Easybreath.
- Grasp the snorkel in your hand and move it from left to right. The ball bearing should follow the movement without restriction.
- Check that the seal is present and in the correct position
- Check that all of the valves are present, and that they're free of deformation and are flush against their support
- The skirt should perfectly fit to the mask
- Never use the mask without the snorkel
What if my mask is fogging up?
If it fogs up over your eyes, we recommend repeating the 4 steps set out above, properly repositioning your Easybreath mask, and checking that the size of your Easybreath is correctly fitted to your face. If the issue continues, do not use the mask and contact your closest Decathlon store.
Snorkelling safety
Snorkelling is an easy and fun activity for all the family! Breathing through a snorkel is more physically demanding than regular swimming. If you feel tired, short of breath or dizzy, remove your mask and get out of the water.
Do not use this product if you have cardiovascular or respiratory problems (lung infection, angina, asthma, hypertension, heart disease, etc.). If in doubt, consult your doctor.
What is the Easybreath Adult Dive Mask - 900?
The Decathlon Easybreath 900 mask shares the same features as the Easybreath 500 (anti-fog, panoramic field of view, easy donning, dry-top snorkelling), but the major difference is this new snorkelling mask offers something new: nose-access. The soft part around the nose allows you to equalise your ears and dive down without the risk of damaging your eardrums.
The full power of the Easybreath concept with the ability to go down!
Why does this Easybreath mask have a soft nose?
Despite its low volume, when swimming underwater and freediving (to a depth of up to 3 metres), the pressure around you increases. This is what causes discomfort in the ears. The easiest way to compensate for this is to pinch your nose and blow gently to send air into your ears.
The pressure can also press the mask against your face. To relieve any discomfort, exhaling through your nose or mouth is the easiest way to reposition the mask.
How does the Easybreath work?
The fresh air is projected onto the glass before reaching the nose or mouth via the nasal valves. The constant supply of fresh air reduces the amount of fogging up in the mask.
The air packed with moisture and CO² is evacuated through channels located inside the mask's rim, which leads this air into the snorkel. The air is constantly renewed. The flow of air going in and out are separated to avoid mixing in polluted air and allowing you to breathe fresh air.
Why is the Easybreath mask not made for diving?
The choice of the Decathlon snorkel mask (Easybreath) should be made if the user is mainly looking for high breathing comfort and a wide field of vision.
The design of the Decathlon Easybreath mask makes it ideal for people who are mainly observing from the surface and want to do some shallow freediving.
Which Easybreath 900 size is right for you?
The Easybreath Adult Dive Mask - 900 comes in 2 sizes and covers 90% of an adult's face.
From 10-year-old and for small faces, opt for size S/M and for bigger faces: size M/L.
To choose the right size when in the store, tighten the mask so that it fits against your face: there should be no gap between your chin and the bottom of the mask.
Can I wear the Easybreath 900 if I have a beard?
Beard hair prevents good contact between the facial skin and the skirt of the mask. The seal of this full face mask cannot therefore be guaranteed for beard wearers. To guarantee a watertight seal, it is best to shave. Alternatively, using a thick balm such as Vaseline can also be a solution.
How does the Dry-Top system stop water from entering?
It was developed to stop water from getting into the snorkel when there is choppy water, small waves on the surface or when the user leans their head too far forward to observe the seabed. There is a float in the snorkel that rises when you dive and blocks the tube. After diving, remember to blow out when returning to the surface to make sure that the float descends.
Can I wear glasses with my Easybreath mask?
Most spectacle frames will prevent the mask from sealing properly by distorting the mask skirt. It is also complicated to use the Easybreath mask with glasses.
What precautions should I take with my Easybreath 900 mask?
Pay attention to sand! Avoid letting your full-face snorkelling Easybreath 900 mask come into contact with sand as this can scratch the lens of the mask. If sand is present, do not use force to clip the snorkel into place. Rinse the snorkel and mask before connecting them. Sand can also clog the float valve inside the snorkel. Rinse the snorkel vigorously or use a key that you can fit through the rear vents of the snorkel to unblock the float valve, then rinse the snorkel.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 1/2
While ensuring the products’ quality and strength when in use, using recycled plastics (strapping, chin cover, valve) helps us to diminish the draining of resources thanks to recycling products at the end of their lifespan (Recycled plastics represent 29% of the product's weight).
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 2/2
Dyeing textiles requires a lot of water and discharges wastewater from dye baths. To reduce this environmental impact, we have carried out two actions:
We only use yarn dyed in mass for the mask strap (which represent 5% of the product weight)
For the bag, we chose the dope-dyed technique, whereby the colour pigments are integrated into the yarn when it is produced (3% of the product weight).
