With normal speedo goggles it is not possible to dive deeper than 5m because one would get a mask squeeze. We tested these handcrafted wooden diving goggles down to 20m without problems.
Having learned to dive late in life I made up for it in my first year by clocking up 120+ open water dives in places from the UK to Australia. I went from a non diver to a technical deco diver in 9 months and loved every second of it. Since having kids not been able to travel as much so spend my time watching videos and reminiscing, hope you enjoy my site as much as I have making it.
Its easy to make wooden google, but it takes 1 day to complete the project, everything will be made in traditional way, but it last until you became older.
Kervennic. Philippine fisher men used to use the all the time. These days they use dive masks but it's still possible to buy them at the local market. Carved wood, window glass and epoxi to join them.
Can you share your secret (how did you make them) because good diving googles cost money and break easily. What kind of material do you use for the joint between the glass and the wood and how do you apply it.
I am spearfishing and dreaming about beeing self sufficient, that could help me…
Thanks
is there a air pocket in front of the eye like a usa model , or the water touches the eye and the is no squeeze when diving deeper.

this is cheap back home. our locals make this.
@kervennic about being self sufficient you don't mean to dive alone, right? because that's something that nobody should do, never dice alone.
and the epoxi could be toxic for your eyes
maybe some type of silicone?
I got a neighbor, he's very good in making those kind of googles!
