Flotation device having a window and a mask to permit a user to view below the water

摘要

A form-fitting comfortable mask, or sun screen, can be disposed, in tension, over a viewing compartment of a flotation device. The floatation device can provide the viewer with a safe, light and water resistant compartment that will greatly enhance their viewing of underwater details while minimizing or eliminating impact to their face from rough water conditions. The flotation device is designed to incorporate a tension surface with molded, water and light resistant air vents that support and secure a Neoprene and/or fabric sun screen mask with molded fasteners in a way that positions the sun screen/mask above the clear glass and/or plastic window. A hidden snorkel system between the viewing window and tension surface provides a fresh supply of clean air while restricting light and water from entering the viewing compartment.
