Subea Easybreath 500 Surface Snorkeling Mask - 180 Degree View
Published on 09/22/2026 at 07:35 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Subea Easybreath 500 Surface Schnorchelmaske is a full-face surface snorkeling mask with a 180° panoramic field of view and breathing through both the nose and mouth. Its integrated Dry Top Release snorkel is designed to close when the float enters the water, while separate air channels direct fresh and exhaled air through different paths.
What The Easybreath 500 Includes
The mask is sold in adult sizes S/M and M/L, covering about 90% of adult face shapes according to Decathlon. Smaller faces and users from age 10 are directed toward S/M, while M/L is intended for larger faces; the lower edge should sit against the chin with no visible gap.
The disassembled mask measures 29 cm in height, 18 cm in width, and 12 cm in depth. The German Decathlon listing identifies the product as the second full-face Easybreath generation and describes improved stability, a more comfortable skirt, and breathing effort reduced by 20% compared with the predecessor.
How The Air System Works
Fresh air first travels toward the lens before reaching the nose and mouth. Decathlon says the separated intake and exhaust channels help renew air continuously and reduce fogging inside the mask.
The Dry Top Release system uses a float in the snorkel. When the snorkel moves below the surface, the float rises to close the opening; after the snorkel returns above water, the float must move back down before normal airflow resumes.
The Easybreath 500 is intended for surface snorkeling, not freediving or underwater diving. Decathlon states that pressure becomes uncomfortable from about 1 m of depth and directs users seeking limited submersion toward the Easybreath 900 instead.
Fit Care And Practical Limits
Facial hair can interfere with the seal between the skirt and skin, and Decathlon says watertightness cannot be guaranteed for users with a beard. Most prescription eyeglass frames can also deform the mask edge and make a proper seal difficult.
Sand requires particular care because it can scratch the lens or block the snorkel float. Decathlon lists replacement parts including a strap, valve, snorkel, and white cover, with part numbers 8316952, 8363399, 8506099, and 8520085.
Where It Fits
The Easybreath 500 sits in the surface snorkeling mask category between a conventional mask-and-mouthpiece setup and more advanced full-face designs. Its 180° view and nose-and-mouth breathing simplify the basic surface experience, while the 1 m depth limitation and face-seal requirements define its boundaries.
Decathlon Canada lists the EasyBreath 500 at C$35.00. For readers seeking a mask for calm, surface-level exploration, the model's strongest case is its integrated airflow design; divers, freedivers, and users who need prescription eyewear require a different setup.
