Questions & Answers

John H : Can you fit prescription lens in this mask ?Eric S : yes, the glue in kind of install. I have two of these masks with lenses installed.JON K : I didn’t do it so I don’t know.KEVIN K : Yes you can put perscription lenses in this mask. Highly recommed not the glue in ones but the professional heat glued In.JUSTIN S : Years ago I ordered this mask from Atomic’s and had them install prescription lenses. The prescription lens takes the place of the standard goggle lens. After getting the mask and diving it, I hated it. My vision was distorted and the mask was heavy. The lenses were like a 1/4 inch thick of glass. I didn’t like it all at. I returned them. I dive wearing contact lenses now.
morten normann f : I know the regular fit is larger than medium. But how small is the medium? It is written somewhere that medium is for children or small women. I have a regular/slim/egg shaped face :D so is a medium too small and would a regular fit most faces? I am a grown, "normal faced" person - with an egg head!john w : My mask is a reg.Fits fine I am 180 lbs 5/10George T : I have a thin face. This mask has always leaked. The fit was never good.JON K : Tough question. All you can do is try on and see how it fits. I don’t have a large face and the regular fits fine. I have never seen a smaller one.ZACHARY L : It’s very difficult to answer your question. It’s tge best you can purchase. But it, try it, and if it doesn’t work out return it.CADE H : Small is small. Go large return if too big.
Shopper : does it require a different first care due to arc coating or would applying some toothpaste front and back be ok?CHARLES S : Toothpaste works, I used Soft Scrub and that worked the best!GERMAN R : No. With a mask nothing should be done. Everything is good.ZACHARY L : No additional first care required.
Matthew W : Does this mask need to be treated to prevent fogging? If so, any recommendations on how to treat it?THOM R : all masks need to be treated for fogging. best to use a few drops of baby shampoo on the inside surface. rub around and rinse just prior to use.RICHARD S : Dive boats usually have a soapy spray bottle to spritz the mask's interior lens surface to prevent fogging right before you jump in. Soapy water works perfectly. I'd stay away from specialized anti-fogging chemicals as they may degrade the high-transmissivity lens coating. The coating improves visibility 7%, but that 7% is a big factor, not only for enjoyment, but also for safety. Seeing is the prime sense used while diving.MIKEL W : This masks fogs up the same as any other mask I have used. Any quality defog solution should work fine, even spit when nothing else is available.
Valerie K : Is this a medium fit or regular, and can I buy precription lenses with this as an add on? Sincerely need it. The glue on ones no longer on option. ValerieMonica s : This is a regular fit. There are no lenses that are premade for this mask. However, we can send it to a facility to have the lenses bonded to the lens with your exact perscription.

best mask I've used

My fave mask, it was originally given to me by a dive student. I have since bought a spare at full retail (I could have gotten other masks way cheaper through employers). Have done about 5000 dives with it, it is noticeably superior to any other mask I have tried. The glass quality, along with the ARC coating makes a noticeable difference. The difference is like watching an old tube TV compared to a 4K HD TV. LIght-weight, great field of vision, super low volume, and very soft silicone is super comfortable and makes a great seal. Being frameless, the strap connection is a bit delicate, as the pin goes through a silicone nub, not a plastic frame, so it can tear out if abused. This is covered under the lifetime warranty, and the customer service for this is great, and fast (in the USA). Cannot recommend this mask enough, I have used it for rec diving, tec diving, cave diving, rebreather diving, night diving, wreck penetration. For big faces, they also make a smaller version for smaller faces (called the medium size subframe). As always with masks, fit and comfort are the most important thing, make sure it fits right before buying.

Great Mask!

Just got the mask and it fits like a charm. The lens definitely makes everything brighter when looking through it. I can't wait to try it out on some dives when I go to Florida in a couple of weeks.

quality so so

I had this nice mask for a year and then started to rust on the metal part. No problem except just realizing the bad design here. Then the top seal at the level of the logo just broke ... could not understand how and why i was getting water in for a while. Overall a nice mask with nice lenses (although easily scratched), but bad quality especially when they advertise it as the most durable mask ... They did replace after I sent it back to them. Let's see how it will hold up on this one. I own a dive shop and have seen many masks. I dive about 200 dives per year.

Good mask, very clear and confortable

The lens quality is much better than in standard dive masks, and it fits my face very well.

HD-like View of the Underwater

This Atomic Sub Frame ARC Anti-Reflective mask is indeed clearer and crisper in vision. It is almost as if you are seeing it in "high definition" underwater. I was quite satisfied to date from my snorkeling and diving experiences (certification forthcoming). Make sure you treat the lenses in mask for anti-fog based on recommendations of your diving instructor or publications. I used plain white toothpaste, soap and water to treat/wash the lenses in mask. Then I added the anti-fog supplement. It worked great preventing fog. Overall, I was content with the fit of this mask. It fits slight wide as I was able to readjust the strap for more comfort. My nose is somewhat large so it fits in nose area well. To date I am satisfied with this mask.

great fitting

This is a great mask fits perfect. I shopped around for awhile before i spent any money on my mask fins and snork. I love the way it fits with very little to no leak for me. the only problem i found since this was my very first mask was at shallow depths or in a out door pool on sunny days is the glare from the clear skirt.i think i would prefer the black skirt in these conditions. It took me 4 dive befor i found the proper tightness but since tne i have not had to clear it but maybe one time during a 1 hour dive. give a good pre scrub and use a defog every dive and you will love this mask.

Worst mask I've owned

Thought I was buying one of the best masks on the market, but from the first dive on, I spent most of my time clearing and adjustin the mask. Truly disappointing!!!

Great Mask!

This is the only mask you need. I use this in the pool, the ocean, in caves and at night. The visibility is excellent and it is a very comfortable fit. If it was cheaper I'd buy a spare!

Great Mask!

By RescueRick

This is the only mask you need. I use this in the pool, the ocean, in caves and at night. The visibility is excellent and it is a very comfortable fit. If it was cheaper I'd buy a spare!

When you learned how to dive your instructor told you the most important part of choosing equipment was comfort and fit. When looking for a mask you also need a great field of vision well this mask was designed to meet those and more desirable qualities. The Sub-Frame Two-Windowed Mask is a low volume mask which offers you a wide field of vision and because of its frame design is one of the most durable masks found on the market today. This durability has been achieved with a Sub-Frame that is molded and bonded directly to the mask's silicone rubber skirt. A second frame made of corrosion resistant 316-grade stainless steel protects the nose bridge area and adds strength and ultimate durability. Mask has optical quality glass lenses and squeeze-to-adjust buckles.

The Atomic Aquatics Sub-Frame Mask offers a new standard feature never seen or seen through before in a diving mask. Atomic Aquatics calls them Ultra-Clear lenses. What makes Ultra-Clear special? Did you ever notice that normal dive mask lenses have a green tint to the glass? To see this tint, put your existing mask up to a piece of white paper and see for yourself. The green tint you see is the result of iron impurities left over in lower quality float or window type glass. That green tint distorts true colors and blocks out some of the light that reaches the eye. UltraClear is a new and exciting optical quality glass with exceptional clarity and high light transmission, with no color distortion. The exceptionally high light transmittance and lack of distortion in the UltraClear lens maximizes the light available for improved visual acuity, especially underwater in low light conditions, better vision, truer colors are what you get with Atomic Aquatics ultra-clear lenses. If you need to use corrective lenses the Atomic Aquatics Sub-Frame Mask has optional corrective lenses available (see SKU: ATMMLSFL10).

In addition the Sub-Frame Mask ARC has an anti-reflective coating which allows more-light to enter the mask and reduce light reflection. This makes seeing through the mask better above and below the water. Atomic Aquatics developed ARC (Anti-Reflective Coating) technology to reduce reflected light and increase the amount of available light transmitted to a diver's eyes. The result is a greatly improved transmission of 98% of available light, compared to a loss of more than 14% of light with standard green float glass used on most masks on the market. Anti-reflective coatings or ARC is a multi-layer metal oxide coating process applied to both sides of the ultra-clear lenses. This allows more-light to enter the mask by reducing light reflections off the inside and outside surface of the lens. The metal oxide coating is only a few microns thick. ARC will give you clearer, crisper vision. You will see more clearly underwater and objects in the distance will become more defined and acute. ARC also increases contrast and clarity, reduces eyestrain, glare, and prevents ghost images on the viewing area of the lens. ARC is an absolute must for night diving, limited visibility conditions, and underwater photographers.

The Atomic Aquatics Sub-Frame Mask has a double feathered edge skirt that provides an excellent seal on the diver's face with an easy-to-reach one-handed nose well for ear equalization. The wide split style mask strap increases the mask's ability to conform to your face adding to its great sealing ability. The Sub-Frame Mask comes in multiple color choices. The Atomic Aquatics Sub-Frame Mask comes with a mask box for transport and storage.
