Abstract: An underwater mask includes a frame, a transparent portion supported by the frame, a seal portion mounted on the frame and adapted to be positioned on a user's face, and a ventilation tube. The seal portion has a partition wall resting on the user's nose and forming upper and lower chambers, which communicate through a passage in the partition wall and a one-way valve to enable air to flow only from the upper to the lower chamber. The ventilation tube has separate channels providing communication between the upper and respectively the lower chamber and the outer environment, and a hub between tube and mask, fastened to the mask and connected to the tube by a joint, so that in a coupling position the hub and the tube are fastened, and in a releasing position the hub and the tube remain connected but the tube is free to swing.

Abstract: An underwater mask includes a frame, a transparent part, a seal part mounted on the frame, and a snorkel. The seal part has a partition wall forming an upper and a lower chamber, the lower chamber receiving nose and mouth of the user. The two chambers communicate through a passage in the partition wall and a one-way valve so that air can pass only from the upper chamber to the lower chamber. The snorkel has first and second channels through which the upper and respectively lower chamber communicate with the outside. A connection end between snorkel and mask is fastened at an opening of the seal part to put the first channel of the snorkel in communication with the upper chamber of the mask, and further has a side inlet for a corresponding exhaust tube that puts the lower chamber in communication with the second channel of the snorkel.

Abstract: A swim or scuba diving fin includes an open-back shoe portion having a pocket for receiving the foot of the user and no heel portion, a blade portion forming a forward extension of the shoe portion, and an element holding the foot in the open-back shoe portion, includes an elongate element in the form of a strap, belt or the like and a length sufficient to surround the heel portion, the sidewalls of the pocket of the shoe, and at least part of the tip of the shoe. Such elongate element is at least partially separated from the open-back shoe portion, and is or may be connected to the open-back shoe portion (3) in length-adjustable and/or at least partially removable fashion through first coupling members, which engage corresponding second coupling members located at the front tip of the open-back shoe.
