There are different kinds of masks, though since we've all been through a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, one's thoughts might first turn to surgical or medical masks worn over the nose and mouth when coming across the term "mask".

But there are other masks, and the most important one to scuba divers would be their diving mask, which covers a different part of the face from those other masks.

This funny t-shirt for scuba divers reads "DIVERS | WEARING MASKS BEFORE THEY WERE POPULAR". The slogan is accompanied by an image of a diver's mask (the clear kind that snugly fits over the eyes and nose) along with a snorkel.

This t-shirt for scuba divers takes on the familiar March of Progress image originally published in 1965 to show the progression of 25 million years of human evolution. Typically, the illustration shows a primate walking on all fours progressing to an ape-like figure walking upright, and each subsequent image shows a figure that looks more and more like homo sapiens. 

In this case, the final two images in the progression depict scuba divers in silhouette form. The last image is of a scuba diver horizontal in the water, which is preceded by the silhouette of a diver performing a giant stride water entry. 

This all-white silhouette design looks great on a black tee, as shown here, or get this in a variety of different color options. This top can be purchased in a comfortable unisex cut as shown, or get a cut for women or youth.
