Guide to Seeing and Moving Underwater

Featuring Huish Outdoors Mask/Snorkel/Fin Products
It seems the options are limitless when it comes to deciding what Mask, Snorkel and Fin to choose for your diving or snorkeling adventure. Many veteran divers would admit having used several different masks or fins throughout their years of diving and most will remember their very first set. And whether they loved them or not, it is usually the first choice they had to make regarding dive gear. Hopefully this guide will help you to determine what suits you best.

You Have To See It To Believe It: WHAT IS THE BEST MASK FOR YOU
Style – Looks – Cool Factor – Seems that these are the obvious reasons to choose a certain mask, right? Not so much. Even though ATOMIC & OCEANIC MASKS have all of those features, the importance of their quality, fit and comfort are quickly realized once you try one on.

Seeing really is believing! Each ATOMIC mask has been specifically designed and engineered to always perform their best for any diving situation. All of our masks feature the highest quality UltraClear glass lenses available, squeeze to adjust buckles, and super soft silicone skirts for added diver comfort.

Anti-Reflective Coating: ARC TECHNOLOGY
is also available in certain ATOMIC AQUATICS MASKS. The UltraClear Schott Superwhite glass lenses have exceptional optical clarity and when you add ARC Technology, reflected light is reduced and an increased amount of available light is transmitted to a diver’s eyes. A multi-layer metal oxide coating process is applied to both sides of the UltraClear lenses. The result is a greatly improved to 98% light transmission. It really doesn’t get better than that.

Durability and Sizing: LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE SUBFRAME
The Atomic Aquatics SUBFRAME MASK is so durable; it carries a Lifetime Warranty against frame breakage. The strength comes from the internal frame (sub frame) molded directly beneath the surface of the silicone rubber skirt (patented). The subframe provides incredible strength and rigidity as well as eliminating the bulky external plastic frame in other masks. This mask is available in Regular, Medium Fit (for narrower faces), and Slim Fit. Our Slim Fit design features a smaller, higher nose pocket a narrower nose bridge to accommodate geometry common to Asian facial profiles.

Wicked Look, Striking Styling & Heavenly Vision – STEP IT UP WITH VENOM
The Atomic Aquatics VEMOM SUBFRAME has a single window hydrodynamic style, and double layer dual-colored silicone skirt which provides extreme comfort, functionality and improved vision. This mask also comes in a FRAMELESS version which is co-molded with two silicone materials in two levels of softness. Exclusive UltraSoft silicone in an accent color is incredibly comfortable. A more rigid silicone black skirt keeps the mask firmly positioned in even the most turbulent conditions. You can’t go wrong looking good and feeling comfortable with the VENOM MASK in either configuration.

Frameless and Packs Flat: OCEANIC SHADOW MASKS - PROVEN AND TRUSTED
When it comes to years of continued proven quality and comfort, the OCEANIC SHADOW & MINI SHADOW MASKS have been around for over 30 years. A Sleek 100% liquid silicone skirt is attached directly to the tempered glass lens and a No-frame mask means the Shadow Series offers an incredible field of vision and packs flat. Complete with a Neoprene Strap to reduce tangles in longer hair, the SHADOW MASKS are available in bright colors and two sizes. This mask will make you look and feel good for years to come.

Add Some Flare & Add Some Style: CYANEA IS A JELLYFISH - OR IS IT?
Cyanea is a Jellyfish, but it is also a super-cool, super-comfortable and super-wide field of vision mask. OCEANIC’S CYANEA MASK. Uses technology and innovation on the minimalist frame and oversized lens, providing style, comfort and peripheral vision truly worthy of envy. The CYANEA also features an elastic band instead of the typical silicone mask strap to eliminate the annoying hair entanglements and adjusts with the slide of the buckle.

Just Breathe: SNORKELS MATTER
Believe it or not, snorkels can define your diving experience. You may not always need a snorkel on your dives, but when you do, why not expect exceptional performance. That’s where HUISH OUTDOORS gets it right. ATOMIC AQUATICS & OCEANIC SNORKELS have years of experience and technology behind them to offer the best comfort and breathing a snorkel can offer.

SV1 & SV2 – WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

With ATOMIC AQUATICS SNORKELS it’s all about the “SV”. Just like the one-way “Scupper Valve” on a boat, the lower section of both the SV1 and SV2 Semi-Dry Snorkels enable water to be easily expelled. The Semi-Dry vent at the top of the Snorkel deflects, slows and breaks up water droplets entering which is then deflected by the small one-way Scupper valve flap forcing the water to flow past the mouthpiece and out the purge valve without collecting in the breathing passage. This is simply the best performing Semi-Dry Snorkel system on the market and that means confidence when jumping into conditions that are not ideal.

A Name More Defined – ULTRA DRY & ULTRA SEMI-DRY
OCEANIC’S ULTRA DRY SNORKEL SYSTEM has been imitated but never duplicated. The 2nd generation ULTRA DRY 2 still incorporates the classic Dry Snorkel Technology, drop away flex mouthpiece, oversized purge valve for easy clearing, and replaceable 100% liquid silicone mouthpiece into a sleek and ergonomic new design.

Take that same new look and employ a patented deflector to stay dry in waves and wind and you have the OCEANIC ULTRA SD (Semi-Dry). The design also incorporates a drop-away flex mouthpiece, oversized purge valve for easy clearing and a replaceable 100% liquid silicone mouthpiece

Propel Yourself: IT ALL MEANS NOTHING IF YOU CAN’T MOVE
Breathing is essential and seeing is believing, but what about moving. ATOMIC AQUATICS & OCEANIC FINS keep you going forward. And backward, around in circles and however else you want to move underwater. A skilled diver can use their fins to not only move through the water column, but control themselves when trying to hover, take a photo, communicate with other divers, etc… It can sometimes be painful to watch divers with inferior fins and skills muddle through a dive. With the quality that Huish Outdoors brands offers in their fin line ups, you will swim circles around everyone else.

What’s the Hype: WHAT MAKES SPLIT FINS SPECIAL?
Unlike other split fins, ATOMIC AQUATIC SPLIT FINS create more thrust with its unique design. As many brands split fins have come and gone, the SMOKE ON THE WATER split fin is here to stay. It uses highly resilient power rails to store and release energy with every kick and a split blade which deflects water and slices through like a set of wings reducing drag along the way. By using multi-composite plastics and shapes, the PROPELLER-FIN Technology will deliver speed and power you won’t experience with other brands of split fins. With all that, you are shortening your kick cycle, using less power to achieve more thrust, and should experience longer dives using less air and energy.

Plain and Simple: NOTHING LIKE THE FEEL OF A STIFF BLADEFIN
Atomic BladeFins have a moderately firm blade combined with unique structural engineering and materials to deliver more power, thrust and speed. The Power-Loop Monocoque structural frame design used in aircraft and Indy race cars is combined with the frame rail for maximum power transfer from every kick. Vertical strakes keep you tracking straight. ATOMIC “Wicked” style keeps you looking great.

With all ATOMIC AQUATICS FINS, every aspect of performance and convenience is considered. This resulted in our patented EZ-LOK Buckle System. Easily snap the buckle on and off with confidence that it will not release accidentally. Buckles rotate 180 degrees and straps adjust with a simple pull. Rust-resistant stainless-steel patented Spring Heel Straps are available for all Atomic fins and as a universal retrofit for most other brands.

Be One with The Ocean: SWIMMING LIKE THE FISH WITH MANTA RAY FINS
Inspired by the ocean’s most effortless swimmers, the OCEANIC MANTA RAY FIN was designed to replicate the bio-mechanics of marine animals. With advanced materials as strong as bone, Manta Ray provides maximum power, speed and efficiency while remaining lightweight and durable. Using the Techno-Polymer Blade and Power-X System, the MANTA RAY optimizes propulsion by flexing during the downstroke and releasing stored energy prior to the upstroke. Get that extra oomph! when you need it most and never worry about running out of thrust or power. With the MANTA RAY FIN, you never have to worry about the perfect fit either. With its unique fit system and having 4 foot pocket sizes along with three different spring strap lengths, there are 14 different size options.

One Fin, Any Ocean: ACCEL FINS – POWER OVER FRILLS
If you favor power over frills, you'll love the Accel. Compact and responsive, its clean lines and efficient shape make it an excellent all-around fin. Unique, high-stretch heel straps are effortless to slip on and off and dramatically reduce the bulk and drag associated with typical open heel fins. The angled, compact blade has excellent water flow characteristics and also allows divers to swim efficiently with multiple kicking styles, from scissor to frog to sculling. The blade's center channel, along with pronounced side rails, also helps minimize "side spill," directing water behind the diver for maximum thrust. The OCEANIC ACCEL FIN is also a short 22” long which will fit comfortably in many carry-on bags.
