make a pipe mask kids

ok to make your pipe mask you are gonna need a small length of
silicon hose, nothing like as thick as the one shown in the picture
(above link). Not sure where you`d find this pipe maybe aquarium shop ??? anyhow not much thicker diameter than a straw.

Next the mask- not sure who makes them but they are for swimming and have no nose piece .. basically just a one piece goggle.

Make a hole in the bottom corner of the mask. The hole is in the silicon NOT the lense! A hole puncher works really well. Next fix a small piece of pipe into this hole. This is the trickiest bit as it must be a good seal. Experiment with silicon & glu. It wants to be set up so when you wear the mask the pipe just comfortably sits in your mouth. If you made it right you`ll not even notice it. After using a few times you`ll equalise it without realising and dive with both hands out like all the freaks who can equalise just by thinking about it.......... phew
