Due to COVID-19 it seems I should probably wear my Ocean Reef Neptune full face mask in public without the tank.
It would be a heck of a lot more comfortable than a surgical mask or other simple cloth mask. The one-way airflow will keep the inside of the mask cool and free of moisture.
However I need some way to cover both the inlet and outlet ports with a fabric filter, to protect both me and others from airborne droplets.
I am thinking some sort of thick padded sewn elastic fabric wrap could be placed around the "nose" of the mask so that it covers both the air inlet and exhaust ports.
The communication port can be capped as it works fine to talk in the mask on the surface, and a rubber cap put on the hose connector to keep out contaminants.
It may also work to adapt N95 and better respirator filters directly onto the Ocean Reef air ports.
Has anyone else thought about ways to do this?
