Spearfishing Masks

Yes, on decathlon.com.gr you will find an excellent variety of spearfishing and freediving masks, specially designed to offer you excellent visibility and absolute watertightness below the surface of the water. Our collection includes models that cover your every need, whether you are taking your first steps in shallow stalking or looking for equipment for deep dives.

Choosing a mask for spearfishing is mainly based on three criteria:
Internal volume: The deeper you plan to dive, the smaller the internal volume (low volume) your mask should have, so that you consume less air to equalize it.
Field of view: You need a mask that brings the lenses as close to your eyes as possible, offering a wide peripheral vision to easily spot prey.
Skirt material: Prefer masks with black or camouflage silicone. Clear silicone allows sun rays to enter from the sides, creating annoying reflections on the inside of the lenses that scare the fish and tire your eyes.

Their difference is decisive for the depth at which you swim. Low volume (small volume) masks are designed so that the space between your face and the lenses is minimal. They are the ideal masks for spearfishing and freediving, because as you descend and the pressure increases, you only need to blow a minimal amount of air from your nose to equalize the mask.
Standard volume (regular volume) masks have a larger internal space and offer a very large field of view, but require much more air to equalize. They are mainly preferred in scuba diving, where tank air is unlimited, or for simple snorkeling at the surface.

Every face has a unique shape and the only way to ensure a correct fit is the following simple test:
Place the mask on your face, making sure there is no hair between the silicone and your skin. Inhale gently through your nose and hold your breath. Let go of your hands, and if the mask suctions and stays firmly on your face without falling, then it fits perfectly and will not let water in. If it falls, it means it is losing air somewhere, so you should try another model.

Yes, of course! In spearfishing, clear vision is a matter of safety and accuracy. Many of the dual-lens masks, with lenses split in the middle, that you will find at Decathlon accept optical/prescription lenses. You can replace the factory lenses with lenses that correspond to your degrees of myopia or presbyopia, so that you can enjoy the seabed with absolute clarity.
