A head up display system includes first and second optical waveguides. A bracket holds the optical waveguides in a spaced-apart fixed relationship to one another such that their optical axes are separated by a distance of 63.5-65 millimeters. The optical waveguides are angularly disposed with respect to one another to produce a binocular image whose focal plane is located out at a distance of 2-4 meters. The bracket also specifically positions the optical waveguides adjacent to a transparent face plate of a dive helmet or dive mask.

A dive mask display system integrates a plurality of components in the mask's frame. These components can include: a radio frequency (RF) antenna for receiving RF signals indicative of dive information, a display that is directly viewable in a peripheral vision area of the diver but outside of the field of view defined by the mask's lens(es), a diver-controlled controller, and a depth sensor. The various monitored information, as well as bottom time tracked by the controller, can be displayed simultaneously.
