| Oceanic DataMask HUD (Heads Up Display) Air/Nitrox Hoseless Computer Mask Reviews 
Reviewer: GRANT J on 9/4/2007
awesome Datamask HUD - At first I was a little skeptical as it is big and you can definitely feel the weight when it is on your face above water. That all goes away once you drop, it is really awesome to have all the information right below your line of sight. It does not interfere with your vision and it is not obtrusive or too bright. I found it nice when my buddies would signal “check your SPG” and all I had to do was roll my eyes down. All in all I think it is a great concept and they executed the design very well. I can honestly say I love it and I look forward to many more dives to check out all of its features. But boy is it nice to not have to keep reaching down to look for a set of gauges. What I do...

| Mares X-Vision Liquid Skin Mask Reviews
Reviewer: Bryan C. on 7/15/2007
Hands down the best mask Ive ever used!!!! - This mask delivers! It is soft, offers a huge field of vision and does not leak. Like most new masks, it does take a few cleanings and uses to get it to stop fogging.
I do have one piece of advice relating to this mask. Buy one with the solid gray/silver skirt instead of the one with the translucent colored skirt. The translucent colored pink/blue/yellow, etc. skirt allows light in through the sides and gives a weird tinted peripheral world view... The solid skirt mask does not do this.

| Liquid Image HD Wide Angle Video Mask with 12.0MP / 1080P Digital Underwater Camera Reviews
Reviewer: Wendell Sharp on 4/13/2012
Liquid Image 1080 video/ 12 megapixel mask - I purchased a Liquid Image mask that takes 12MP pictures and 1080 video, to take on vacation. I made 3 different saltwater dives at 30-40 feet using it. It is pretty impressive! There is a toggle switch at the top right for switching between video and still pictures. There are 2 choices of video quality. Lights appear in your peripheral vision, red for still pictures, green for moderate quality video, and blue for 1080 video. After each dive, just remove the micro SD card, put it into an SD adapter, and pop it into a computer. Ive received numerous comments about how clear the images and video are. There was no water leakage through the seals. The lens is tinted glass, and the surrounding... View Full Review

| Genesis Tri-View Panoramic Mask Reviews 
Reviewer: Tianna Dulmage on 2/20/2013
Love the clear view! - i was a bit wary of buying a mask online i couldnt try on, but this mask was an excellent fit. it gels nicely to larger faces (when one doesnt put on sunscreen), and i think my stray hair was responsible for it fogging up more than i liked. (tried soap, toothpaste, and defog s, all of which worked for about the first 10 minutes and then i had to defog again). i could have tightened it up alot more for a better seal but was only doing short snorkel trips and liked not getting a headache/hairache from the straps.
the best part is we got the clear one, so you can see everything in every direction without the mask obstructing your view at all. i tried my old mask a few times and it now... View Full Review

| Atomic Ultra Clear Subframe Mask Reviews
Reviewer: Benjamin Shey on 2/8/2013
Wow. High quality mask - This mask is great piece of scuba equipment. Let me start with the packaging. I comes in a great hard case, but unlike some other mask boxes, the mask stands upright with the lenses perpendicular to the horizontal. In other words, the mask sits in the box in the same orientation that one would wear it (as opposed sitting with the lenses facing up).
The mask itself is super high quality. If you have a high nose bridge, i wouldnt recommend this mask. The mask it low profile due to the subframe technology, and the cross bit over the nose is actually metal. The lenses are great. They are so clear and dont have a greenish tint. You cant even tell they are there. The mask strap fits perfectly... View Full Review

| XS Scuba Fusion Scuba Jr Reviews
Reviewer: Irven K. on 7/30/2007
Fits small faces! - Was having problems finding masks that fit the small faces of my 7 year old son and 10 year old daughter. Bought this mask and another, problem solved. They use them to swim in our backyard pool so can vouch for how well they work for actual scuba diving but for our purposes they are great.

| H2O Alpha 2 Mask Reviews
Reviewer: Brian Olson Instructor on 8/18/2006
I was Blind, but now I can see - Of all the masks I have used in the last year, the Alpha 2 is hands down one of the most comfortable and versatile masks out there. This low-volume maks is constructed out of the highest grade silicone that molds to the contours of just about everyones face that gets near it. This means a great fit that feels good and a seal that doesnt leak! Being a long-time mustache wearer, I have run the gambit of novelties and techniques to keep water out of my masks from silicone grease to vaseline to surfboard wax. None of them are as effective as they are messy. The purge valve under the nose pocket is hidden from a divers fingers, so its easy to equalize, but it is large enough to clear water...

| XS Scuba Fusion Mask Reviews
Reviewer: Kenn Pietrzak on 4/4/2010
great pic - I have never purchased a mask before and shopped and read ALLOT of reviews before finally picking this mask. I have enjoyed snorkeling for years but have always done then on vacation "tour" packages and they have been provided by the companies and wanted my own and stop using the rental stuff. We took a cruise this March which included a day in Isle Roatan, Honduras where I got to try out this mask along with my new snorkel and flippers. THIS mask was GREAT! the full view of the lenses kept away the "tunnel-vision" effect many other mask I have rented. They were very comfortable to wear and sealed up on my face extremely well and comfortably. I wish I had bought some anti-fog though. ... View Full Review

| Ocean Quest Arctic Clear High Definition Purge Mask Reviews
Reviewer: Phil Napolitano on 8/10/2012
Its a winner! - I am a novice when it comes to snorkeling.. When I was a kid we used to snorkel in our pool, the mask I had was a full face mask(dont remember what kind). It came with a purge valve right on the face piece. I can remember thinking how cool it was to be able to clear my mask while I was still under water. As I got older I have tried, with no success, to find a dive mask like that again.
I purchased the Arctic Clear HD Scuba Dive Mask w/ purge valve in hopes of rekindleing that little kid in me. While the purge valve has moved from the face piece to under your nose, there is no change in the way it operates, that little kid was back. The clarity is excellent and it fits perfectly to my...

| TUSA Liberator One Mask Reviews
Reviewer: Kim B. on 11/20/2008
Love my very own RX / prescription Snorkeling Mask - I wear glasses and am very new to snorkeling and fell absolutely in love with it after my first try. After 2 further opportunities to go snorkeling since then, I recently decided to invest in an RX mask because its not always easy to find shops that have them for rent whenever Im on vacation. I shopped around a lot on-line but kept coming back to scuba.com. I spoke on the phone with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff member who helped me decide which mask to buy (even suggesting one that was less expensive than one I was considering). Not only does the mask fit great, but the stock lenses are of very good quality and very closely match my prescription. Add to all this, I received the... View Full Review

| Mares X-Vision Mid Skirt Mask Reviews
Reviewer: Cortlen Hernandez on 7/21/2010
Comfortable is not always good. - So, this mask is the first mask I have ever bought that wasnt a hand-me-down or something I didnt find at the bottom of the ocean. 2 things I am still getting used to:
first of all, the silicon skirt. Very comfy but unlike most of my friends, I dont like it. My mask seems to flood water just enough to make my dives in cold water very uncomfortable. But since I seem to be the only one with this problem and I have no other soft silicon mask to compare it to, I think its just me.
Second, if you get the mask that is not clear on all sides, you get mad tunnel vision and disorientation every now and then. Again, I think its just me and my bad viz diving but i never seemed to have... View Full Review

| XS Scuba Fusion Mask Jr with Purge Reviews
Reviewer: Julie N. on 10/12/2008
Great mask for small adults - I like to snorkel - but Im not the best swimmer and therefore feel a little uncomfortable everytime we go. It takes me a long time to feel confident enough to let my husband (the little merman!) leave me. As soon as my mask leaks - Im done for the day!
This mask fit great (I weight 95 lbs)! And I was able to build my confidence a lot faster - which meant both me and my husband have more fun. I also used the purge feature on this mask as needed - and really liked it. Ive had a mask with this before but never used it because I was too busy freaking out to figure out how to use it!
I liked the hinges for adjusting the strap on the mask. They were really easy to use. My only... View Full Review

| H2O Tri-View Frameless Mask Reviews
Reviewer: Donald A. Dutcher on 6/30/2008
H2O Tri-View Frameless Mask - No BS Assesssment - THE FACTS: Well made, quality mask. The field of view is outstanding. Mask strap is extra wide in the back. Looks great. MY OPINION: I am 63" and weigh 225 lbs. I ordered the extra large which fits me, but I think my face is not wide enough for this size. When I snorkelled with it on two occassions, the skirt seal broke in the nose area. I repositioned the mask higher on my face so it snugged up under my nose and it seemed to help, but I also had issues with the sides of the skirt folding over towards the front of the mask on a couple of occassions letting water in. THE BOTTOM LINE: The issues I had with this mask are a sizing issue only. Unless you have a larger than normal... View Full Review

| IST Classic Round Mask Reviews
Reviewer: Keith Jenkin on 8/15/2008
Like the old days . . . see it all! - Ive had many masks over the years (including some very high-dollar ones) and this mask reminded me of one as a kid. You can see a huge field of view in binocular vision. Thats because there is nothing between your eyes except your nose! Objects off-center and below are seen with both eyes instead of peeping with one only eye at things not right in front. When the contemporary goggle-style masks became vogue, a big "benefit" was less air volume making it easier to purge the mask. Phooey. If you know how to purge, this mask is a snap. And, you can purge the whole mask at any angle, even swimming straight down! (That takes a little practice, but doing it while prone is easy by rotating your... View Full Review
