Questions & Answers

Anita B : Is this mask a good fit for women?darrick c : Hello Anita, if you feel you have a small or narrow style face you would want this version of the mask: <a href="https://www.scuba.com/p-scpmsvmbl/scubapro-sub-vu-mini-mask-blue." target="_blank">https://www.scuba.com/p-scpmsvmbl/scubapro-sub-vu-mini-mask-blue.</a> If you do not feel you have that style face then yes, this mask would work for you.
Shopper : Does one recommend rubbing a new mask with toothpaste prior to using (to prevent fogging)?darrick c : Hello, yes, then the defog will have something to cling to so the defog will work.
ADAM O : How does the purge work? Does it just open when you breath OUT of your nose?darrick c : Hello Adam, yes, it is a one-way valve. When you exhale thur your nose you would push all of the water out of the mask.
ADAM O : What does the plus mean for crystal vu plus? I have the sub vu.  What’s the difference?darrick c : Hello Adam, it is the Ultra-Clear Glass the lens are made out of.
MICHAEL H : I apologize for the ignorant question. Is this a scuba mask or a snorkel mask?SCOTT L : It will work for snorkeling but the purge it primarily for scuba. You probably wouldn’t use the purge function while snorkeling. If that’s all you plan to do, there might be something cheaper without the purge. It is an excellent mask. I added prescription lenses to mine.Mario C : Its a good question and we receive it often. Any proper diving mask will work for both scuba and snorkeling. with very few exceptions, a proper mask has a silicone skirt tempered glass like this one and 99% of the mask we sell. ( the exceptions would have acrylic lenses)

The Best

I love this mask! Great fit, flexible, comfortable, no leaks. I'm buying a back-up because I've had this one for 3 years. I use SCUBA, daily snorkeling and even lap swimming. It's the best!

Great Mask!

I love this mask, but the purge valve came out somewhere and I can't find it. Do you guys offer replacement valves so I could replace it?

purge valve

the only problem is that i can only do two dives until the purge valve puts two much pressure on my nose.. is there a bigger skirt by chance?

Favorite Mask

This mask is definitely my ?Äúgo to?Äù dive mask. I have about 5 masks, both purge and non-purge and I find that the Crystal View Plus is really comfortable and always feels secure. This is my second purchase of the Crystal View Plus mask. I thought it would make a Certification gift for my daughter who is getting scuba certified in a couple of weeks. She really likes mine so I decided to get her one too. It?Äôs an attractive mask as far as masks go ?üòâ

Great mask. Love it

What a great mask. I have some issues taking my mask off to clear it. With this mask I dont have to take it off to clear it, just breath through your nose and the water is gone. I love it.

I have a small face from top to bottom, but full cheeks with dimples, and a bad habit of smiling a lot, even under water. This mask works great. I haven't had any leak issues.

wide field of visionfits larger noses

This is my second crystal mask. I liked the first one and desided to save space in my travel bag the size of this mask was much samller and lighter than the old back up mask.I like the strap adjustments easy on and to release after the dive.my only complaint the mask is so light sometimes exhaust from the reg. will move the mask.

purge

It is definitely a good mask, the only problem is that when you dive in the dive, the purge precedes the nose and after a while

good mask

I'm an old fan of Scubapro's Trivent large volume mask with a purge, but unfortunately Scubapro dosen't think people want large volume masks. Maybe rhinoplasty is thee solution for a smaller mask. This is one of the more comfortable masks I've tried on comfortable soft skirting and still has a purge.

My second mask

This is my second mask of same kind. My first one I had for 10yrs and loved it. I was going to try a new kind but after some thought, why would I do that when this one was so comfortable and gave me the visibility I wanted. :-)

The purge can be very uncomfortable

This item can be good for Snorkeling but not for diving. When diving you want to the face mask to be tight so you wont get wanter inside and with the pressure the mask can get tight. Well the problem with this mask is the purge when the mask is tight. You can feel the purge right be your nose and it can be really really uncomfortable!! This suck when you're 30-60m feet under water and you have some hard plastic pushing into your nose.

Back to Scubapro

You can depend on Scubapro. I got away from them in the recent past because my local dive shop wasn't a dealer. I am now going to buy online and switch back to Scubapro.

Good mask

Good mask. I have dove this mask for over a year. then got two more. One for the misses and a spare for me. Cons: Plastic frames don't make for a good tank rest. Diving with high waves and a fellow diver was rolled back and landed on my mask and cracked the frame. I used a backup mask that we had on the boat. Black US diver mask and that's when I realized how much light this mask allows in. Can't wait to get back into the water with my new mask.

Scubapro Crystal VU Plus Single Lens Mas

I don't understand reading some reviews about fogging. I wonder if the masks were cleaned prior to first use. Used toothpaste prior to the lens and used in open water for the first time this month in Belize and Honduras. No problems!

Pretty Good.

I have owned this for 5 years. Pretty great so far with a wide viewing field. I paid about the same back then and it is still around the same price. I work for the "worlds largest dive shop" now and know a little more about masks. I do believe there are better masks out there for this price, but it is still a great mask. It does fog up without spit or defog (like all masks). I use it for scuba and snorkeling and probably have about 50 actual hours of use out of it so far. The silicone and glue that holds it together has held up quite well. It does not scratch easily, just dont rub sand in it.

Great mask, 1/2 price from the dive shop

No-seam side windows are a cool feature, I as skeptical but you cannot see the seam at all. In a local dive shop I was compairing about 15 different masks they were selling. Using visual reference points compaired to my out-streched arm, I measured the actual field of vision. This one was the best by far, beating other models that cost up to $200. Comfortable fit, great price, a must have.

Fogpro don't do it

I and two other dive masters could not get Scubapro UV to stop fogging. We used all the usual scrubs, spit and tricks, plus commercial anti fog solution. I suspect the side windows were molded in with too much silicone that filmed the glass.I started to think it was plastic rather than glass. I ended up buying a used mask that leaked to salvage my trip. The $20 dollar leaker was a big improvement. I expected more of Scubapro. The ScubaPro Frameless Single Window Mask would be a safer bet.

Great mask

By JAMIE K.

I have a small face from top to bottom, but full cheeks with dimples, and a bad habit of smiling a lot, even under water. This mask works great. I haven't had any leak issues.

Scubapro's Crystal VU Mask with Purge has a patented tempered single glass lens design, with patented no-seam side windows for increased field of view. The lenses are no-tint glass for greater visual clarity and safety in diving. With its double feathered edge sealing crystal clear silicone rubber skirt for increased comfort, wide split style mask strap and streamline shape combined for a snug fit all makes this one great mask for any diver.

This model of Scubapro VU-Plus Mask has a one-way purge valve for hands free clearing and like the non-purge version is equipped with push button swivel buckles for easy adjustment and on/off action. Mask comes with an easy to reach one hand nose pocket for ear equalization that can be utilized even when wearing thick gloves. The Scubapro Crystal VU-Plus Mask provides an exceptional panoramic view of the underwater world. Although it is a 3-window mask, the Vu-Plus provides a low internal volume that is easy to clear. Mask has an over-molded frame for strength and durability.

The lenses of the mask are made from an ultra-clear glass. Standard glass has a green tint. 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.

Ultra clear is a new and exciting optical quality tempered glass with exceptional clarity and high light transmission, with no color distortion. The exceptionally high light transmittance and lack of distortion in the ultra-clear lens maximizes the light available for improved visual acuity, especially underwater in low light conditions, better vision, truer colors are what you get with Scubapro's Ultra-Clear lenses. The Scubapro Crystal VU-Plus Mask is available in multiple color choices and comes with a protective mask box.
