to close the nostrils and allow underwater equalization.
A plate with 2 silicone movable caps attached with one
screw to the front part of the inner mask (pic. 10).
Releasing the screw it is possible to move the plate up
and down to find the most comfortable position to
equalize. The silicone caps may easily be turned or
removed. By turning the caps you may adjust them to fit
a larger or thinner nose (distance between the nostrils).
Two additional plastic inserts shims are supplied. By
removing the silicone cap it is possible to install the
insert in the plate (cap post) increasing the distance of the cap from the
plate and allowing it to fit closer to the nostril. This is sometimes necessary
for flatter noses or when a hood is used under the mask.
To close the nostrils for equalization, simply press the top part of the
mask. The two equalization silicone caps will move upward and close the
nostrils.
1.6 PURGING
The mask can easily be purged in the event that water enters the mask by
pressing the exhaust button on the second stage. The water will flow out of
the lower valve. The diver should be facing straight ahead, with the exhaust valve being the LOWEST
part of the system.
