Decathlon’s New Mask Lets Almost Anyone Experience Scuba Diving

No heavy air tank.

 

No diving certification.

 

Just breathe… naturally.

 

That’s the promise behind Decathlon’s Easybreath Dive, a new underwater system designed to make diving more accessible for beginners. Instead of carrying a scuba tank, users wear a full-face mask connected by a lightweight hose to a floating air station that stays on the surface.

Here’s how it works.

 

The floating platform continuously draws in fresh air and sends it to the diver, allowing them to breathe through both the nose and mouth while enjoying a 180° panoramic view underwater.

The experience is intentionally kept simple.

 

Participants can explore depths of up to 3 meters, always accompanied by a PADI-certified instructor. No previous diving experience is required, making it an entry point between snorkeling and traditional scuba diving.

A complete session lasts around 90 minutes, including:

 

A safety briefing.

 

Guided entry into the water.

 

Around 30 minutes of underwater exploration.

 

 

The experience is currently offered through selected partner diving centers in France and Spain.

The system isn’t meant to replace scuba diving.

 

Instead, Decathlon sees it as a way to remove many of the barriers that discourage first-time divers, such as heavy equipment, complex training and breathing through a traditional regulator.

By combining the simplicity of snorkeling with the feeling of scuba diving, Easybreath Dive could introduce thousands of newcomers to the underwater world—one natural breath at a time.
