| 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...

| XS Scuba Z Duo M-Line Mask Reviews 
Reviewer: James Perrine on 7/4/2008
XS Scuba Z Duo M-Line Mask with Purge - i have purchased 2 with the purge and ordered a 3rd. the 3rd arrived shipped wrong i however did not notice this until i returned from the usa to saudi arabia. 1 with purchase was for me and 1 was for a friend. the purge valve works great but on both my face and my friends it hits the bottom of our nose. i used mine longer than he did hoping to find a place on my face it would not hurt and used it long enough that it bruised the bottom of my nose.
i was lucky that the 3rd was shipped wrong as my first mask i paid for corrective lenses so i could change the lenses out and have a very nice mask. the mask without the purge is a great mask.
my friend was not so lucky and has had to be... View Full Review

| 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 3-Window Mask Reviews 
Reviewer: Amey Lupinsky on 9/11/2006
Dry mask - I love the panaromic vision the side windows allow me to have while diving. The mask always stays dry. I have quite a problem with the mask fogging up even after using defog, but I think I may just be a nose breather and causing the fogging myself. I am still a rookie diver so hopefully experience will improve this problem. Otherwise the mask is wonderful.

| XS Scuba V3 M-Line Purge Mask Reviews
Reviewer: David Barber on 9/7/2007
LAKE HAVASU SNORKELER - Got the mask today. Took it out today. It works as advertised. The purge is perfect. The view is perfect. I snorkel in Lake Havasu in murky water and had no problems with it. The fit is excellent. The face seal works great. I have a goatee and there was no problem with leaks. I filled the mask with water on purpose to check out the purge valve. No problem. THIS MASK IS IMPRESSIVE. I do not consider it a buy, but an investment. Take care of your gear and it will take care of you. By the way, the Scuba guys were very helpful and the delivery was FAST. Next come THE FINS. Thanks SCUBA.COM. I will be a returning customer. David Barber

| IST Classic Round Dive 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

| 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

| 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.

| 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

| XS Scuba Fusion 2 Window Mask Jr Reviews
Reviewer: DANIEL MARRONE on 8/24/2007
XS Scuba Fusion - I have been diving 35 years amd my personal equipments is Scuba Pro. I purchaseds this mask for my children and find it to be just as good as the scuba pro brand at a cheaper price. In fact when to put the masks side by side you cannot tell the difference. This mask had an excellant fit and is easy to clear. The silcone is on par with more expensive masks. I would defnianltey purchase this mask for myself.

| Ocean Quest Pacific Mask Reviews
Reviewer: Robin Powell on 12/30/2008
Mask was a good buy - I was looking for an affordable mask to keep around for grandkids to learn to snorkle plus for the 15 year old to use to dive. Id purchased another mask on clearance and found it to be a little smaller than I expected based on description so when this mask came up with a clearance price and the description said that it fits almost all faces from 60-240 lbs, I couldnt resist buying it. It did fit her and didnt leak - was easy to adjust and worked well for us. Even though it says that it fits almost any face, I wont be surprised if she outgrows it in a few years - its not as large as either my husbands or my mask but it did the job and she liked the color. For the price we paid, its a... View Full Review

| XS Scuba Down Look Mask with Gauge Reader Reviews 
Reviewer: Paul S. on 6/10/2007
Takes Getting Used To - I am farsighted and getting old enough so that I soon wont be able to hold a camera or gauge far enough in front of me to see without some sort of "underwater reading glasses." Nothing against this mask (they may all be like this), but I could not get used to it. Why? If I was holding my compass out in front of me, to use the magnifying part of the Look Down lens, Id have to lift my head way up in an uncomfortable position. It worked fine when I would hold a gauge down low, however. Then, the dilemma was that the lens portion blocked me from just looking down at the farther distant terrain below me, which Im used to being able to do with my regular mask. Its probably fine when used... View Full Review
