Rating: Mantis Full Face Scuba Dive Mask Clear
Reviewer: JOHN M., Wednesday, January 11, 2012
what a wonderful product. i have dentures and worry about losing my regulator, not any more. the installation of my regulator was easy, less than ten minutes. it took just a little time to learn that i could breath through my nose. im very comfortable in the water but the security afforded by the mask and the breathing through my nose has added another level. this comfort is really important on a deep or complex dive. the mask is comfortable to wear, and seals well even though i have a beard. i mostly dive from a boat, and do not use a snorkel, i use very little air on a a shore dive getting out to the spot, so no problem there for me. for the price and quality i would recommend this to any diver. a very good product.

I love that it comes from a name-brand manufacturer (OTS). Great product for the cost without heavy maintenance. I purchased to dive and clean boats with- donning is quick and easy. I also have little fear about straps breaking down because of the snap buckles- Encourage other to also purchase the clear masks so you can watch for possible mold issues or contaminates. Spend the extra money for this mask.

Reviewer: Robert W Popp, Wednesday, February 03, 2010 - View all my reviews
The clear color is the smartest allowing only a little
perifrial loss.It fits just fine for a slightly smaller
face. The price is more down to earth than the higher priced models with as many extras.

Rating: Mantis full-face mask
Reviewer: Frank Fish, Thursday, March 19, 2009
this is a marvelous product. it has a low volume, so you dont waste air. it makes diving extremely comfortable. it is useful for people who have a strong gag reflex and have trouble holding a regulator in their mouth. i was able to dive down to 80 feet with no problem. the nose pinch worked well. the quick-release buckles make getting the mask on and off relatively easy. the only problems were that if you wash out the mask before a dive it is difficult to get every of water out and you end up breathing a fine watery mist at the beginning of the dive. when you come to the surface you are locked into the mask, so be sure to carry a spare mask or surface right at the boat. one should probably disconnect the mask from the regulator for transport and storage.

Reviewer: Kent Carlson, Monday, February 16, 2009 - View all my reviews
Pros: Mask fits well, construction seems mostly durable. Field of view seemingly increased over standard maks (that I use). Installation and use of Surface Breathing Valve and regulators very easy with provided directions. Donning and doffing of mask underwater made easy by quick release buckles on lower two (of five) straps. Anti-fog incorporated into mask lens works well.
Cons: Cost of a compatible com system is high ($600-700). Some free-flow of air out through mask when head straps not adjusted. Plastic fittings for headstraps may have limited lifespan. Not sure how the silica inlet "mouthpiece" (where the regulator plugs in) will hold up after repeated assembly and dissassembly.

Reviewer: Omer N., Monday, June 30, 2008
fantastic in the pool so far not a leaking into face but will try it first in the sea without attachments before i get adventurous> it is hard not to waste air from a beach dive when the swim is 50 metres such as port o cove in vancouver b.c canada however all masks have leaked for me so far due to profile so this is miracle mask for me till i sea dive. dont go without surface air valve if intending to beach dive but always have secondary stage mask in pocket and choose a wide regulator for this mask

Reviewer: Bryan Toro, Monday, August 27, 2007
Best Mask for the price. Easy to install 2nd Stage and works good at depths. Never fogs.
Mask molds to your face after a period of use, becoming most comfortable mask i have ever owned.
The surface breathing valve is a MUST HAVE accessory!
OTS has amazing customer service

The Mantis mask works fine, but eliminates any alternate air source use without removing the mask completely. I would buy this mask again.

Rating: It saved my certification
Reviewer: PAUL DONOVAN, Monday, October 16, 2006 - View all my reviews
I would not have got certified as an open water diver without this new facemask. I have a deviated septum and could not clear a regular mask, underwater, under pressure. This mask lets me clear it with just my mouth or the purge on the regulator. I dove this mask just recently in Maui, HI. to 100 and it performed just perfect. It is comfortable and super easy to see out of. I would recommend this mask to anyone! Thanks for a great product!

Reviewer: james kelly, Tuesday, September 19, 2006
At first this mask seemed to be a little awkward to adjust, so I made my adjustments without my gloves on, and low and behold it worked just fine. The mask is comfortable on my face and allows good vision, so I would recommend this mask to anyone. The price is right also.

A nice full face at a reasonable price. Good for cold water and OK for contaminated waters. Comfortable.
