Just came back from a diving vacation in Puerto Rico. I wonder why they call it a "mask" when there's nothing covering the eyes? Do reporters not have common sense anymore? (rhetorical question)

Breathing oxygen is not healthy below about 18 feet. There's a reason they put AIR in the tanks, not oxygen.

There are "dust masks", etc., that only cover the mouth and nose.

Or diving masks that only cover the eyes...

Then there is the term "full face mask".

Well, in all the westerns I saw as a kid, the bad guys always wore masks that were just their bandanas pulled up over their mouths and noses.

And all of these years I have been place the dust mask over my mouth when using the table saw or dealing with drywall!
