Dive masks are generally made out of rubber or silicone. Silicone is more pliable and generally considered to be the better of the two materials. Silicone feels soft and bends easily to fit the shape of the diver's face. Rubber masks are less expensive than silicone masks and do the job, but are not often the first choice of shoppers. When purchasing scuba gear, don't cut corners by choosing the cheapest products. Instead, shop at a quality discount scuba retailer with a large inventory, low overhead and better prices.
