Abstract:
A full face mask and snorkel can include a full face mask and a rigid snorkel attached to the side of the mask. The side location of the ridged snorkel avoids peripheral ducting of air around the full face mask. The full face mask includes a main peripheral full face seal coupled to the mask's rigid support structure. The full face mask includes a separation seal dividing the full face mask into at least an upper chamber. The snorkel is affixed to the side of the full face mask at a location proximate to where the separation seal meets the main seal. A full face mask and snorkel can also include an exhalation valve located within the snorkel and proximate to the mask so as to avoid a volume of respirated air within the snorkel from being reinhaled into the lower chamber of the full face mask.

Claim (Index 22):
A full face mask and snorkel for use during exploration of aquatic environments comprising:\n a full face mask, including:\n a rigid mask support structure defining a shape of the full face mask, the full face mask being defined by a top, bottom, left side, and right side; \n a full face seal coupled to the mask's rigid support structure, the full face seal made of a flexible resilient material for creating a seal between the full face mask and a face of a user when worn by the user; and \n a separation seal dividing the full face mask into at least an upper chamber sealed from a lower chamber by the separation seal; \n a rigid snorkel affixed to a side of the full face mask, the rigid snorkel including:\n an air intake channel extending along a length of the rigid snorkel for intake of surface air into the upper chamber of the full face mask; \n an exhaust channel extending along a length of the rigid snorkel for exhaust of respirated air from the lower chamber of the full face mask; and \n the full face mask and rigid snorkel collectively including means for introducing a horizontal fresh air circulation over an interior side of a visual lens of the full face mask.
