Rating: Mantis Full Face Mask
Reviewer: Dennis Jameson,
Bought this mask for the safety of the 5 strap. I gold dredge in swift moving rivers and the cheaper 3 strap full face masks leak water and are easily swept off your face. The Mantis performed flawlessly in extremely fast water.

Reviewer: JOHN M.,
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.

Reviewer: Nathan Blakeslee,
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.

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.

Reviewer: Frank Fish,
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.

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.,
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,
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
