Hello divers Marcus here from central NC. If your older like me and need readers all the time for everything. This mask is great! VERY HAPPY w/ it. If you dive, you know you need a back up mask on any dive trip!!! For sure if you need readers! My local dive shop sent my primary mask off to have readers installed somewhere in the Midwest. Now your dive shop should have you don your mask and use a gauge or instrument then make a mark on your lens for proper height & fit. At least my shop did. ...When i got it back i was sure surprised at the cost !! $200 bucks. WOW very nervous if it was right. The custom readers installed were perfect !!!! And to be honest, with the custom fit it was a little better vision than the XS Scuba reader mask. But when my XS scuba mask w/ readers arrived, i put mask on and looked at my console and i was VERY PLEASED ! Not being able to see your console is a GO or NO GO for any diver period! The XS mask is my backup mask. but could be used very easy as primary mask. $82 vs $300 "custom readers" mask. My dive buddy is going to buy him one also. Every scuba product i've bought from XS Scuba has been spot on!! If you need readers in your mask " I have a small head now" you should be happy with this XS mask w/ bifocals. I'm OCD & hard to please! 5 STARS on this mask. Get one and add it to your kit bag !
Unfortunanlty, age gets the best of us often through our eye sight first! After having great vision in my 40's I now find I can't read anything without reading glasses. I started looking at the self adhesive lenses when I came across the XS Scuba Guage Reader Mask. I can now see again! I actually liked them so much I have already ordered a second pair!
Have you ever looked at your computer while diving and wished the numbers looked bigger? With the Gauge Reader Mask by XS Scuba, that wish is now a reality, XS Scuba's Gauge Reader Mask incorporates magnification lenses of +1.75 into the bottom of each lens. This allows you to see normally through the main lenses and yet, the ability to look down and see everything bigger. Ideal for photographers, videographers, mature divers and just about anyone who could use a little extra visual boost. This version has improved close-up magnification with single plane glass and back to the original angled-back down-view-design.
The Gauge Reader Mask has all the quality features of XS Scuba's mask line. Mask has a double feathered edge silicone mask skirt and safety tempered lenses for great vision underwater. The 2-window design and the large one-handed nose pocket for ear equalization brings the mask closer to your face providing an exceptional field of vision, low volume and super easy ear equalization. The mask frame is made from a durable polycarbonate material, has easy adjust buckles with a wide split head strap for added comfort and increased seal on the face. Mask comes with a protective storage mask box.

Roland L
Is there anyway to mount the go Pro camera to this mask ?
Michael S
No

I do not think there would be a good way to mount a GoPro to the this mask.
The new mask works good but be sure to coat with tooth paste ahead to help keep mask clear.

GERALD S
No not that I'm aware of. There are. Masks that do but not this model.
VIRIGINIA Y
I have no idea, I know nothing about gopros.
EUGENE F
Not as the mask is delivered. You might be able to add an accessory mount.
STACEE S
No there is no special attachment and would imagine there is no way to really achieve that. Try a head set from GoPro, works fine.

Why Did You Choose This?
KEN C
Friend has one. Very helpful to see dive computer.

I have been looking for a mask/magnifier combination in which the magnifier was bonded. I have had too many successful failures using the glue in and stick on. Now I don't have to worry about it coming off during a dive if I have to clear my mask or trying to keep the inside of my mask dry. Prefer the single lens mask but will give this a try.

I was having trouble finding a reader mask. The link "chat now" helped me find what I was looking for on this site. They responded immediately.

Silicone black color will keep extra peripheral light out of mask when cave diving, 1.75 cheaters help with reading side mount tank gauges located on or about shoulder chin area.
