Abstract: A face mask for a snorkel device includes a beam engaged on the upper portion of the face mask for securing a light device. The beam includes a cavity formed in the middle portion. A retaining member has an upper leg engaged in the cavity and has a hook formed in the lower leg for engaging with the center portion of the face mask so as to be secured onto the face mask. A light device includes a housing pivotally coupled to the beam for lighting purposes and includes a battery and a socket engaged in the housing and includes a lamp means engaged with the socket. The light device can be easily secured to the face mask such that the divers need not carry the light device with their hands.
