Abstract
The disclosure relates to a diving mask comprising a body having a faceplate and a flexible skirt, and a snorkel extending a top portion of the body. The body includes an exhaled air exhaust device that puts the bottom chamber in fluid-flow connection with the air duct of the snorkel. The exhaled air exhaust includes at least a first check valve arranged to allow exhaled air from the bottom chamber to flow towards the air duct of the snorkel during a stage in which the user is breathing out, the first check valve being closed during a stage in which the user is breathing in.
