If so what do you think of it? I have been thinking of buying one but wanted to get a few opions first.:glasses:

Thanks,

Now what about the divers along the Cozumel Isle?
I'll bet they're always warm as toast. They always seem to smile.

If it fits your face it is great. If not it leaks like a sieve. Mine fits and I love it. Hate the strap though. Put a slap strap on in the originals place.

Thanks Joel, Your not the first that I heard complain about the mask strap, but I never heard what exactly the problem is. What do you find wrong with it?

The damn thing slips. I get it set and before long it is loose again. I had it loosen while doing an ice dive a few weeks ago. I sorted out the problem, but I was looking for a new strap as soon as I exited the water.

I use one, and I like it. I don't think its a mask that fits a lot of faces, but if it fits, it's a great mask. I haven't had a problem with my strap yet. One of these days, I'm going to order one of those slap straps.

PS. Mine is black.

I have a Cressi Big Eyes mask and love it. I do experience small leakage due to my mustache, but this is easily cleared. So far, 25 dives with it, I have not had any strap problems.

~65 dives with mine and i love the thing. The leak comments are true though - i find, i've had a few dives where i had a bit of a leak and couldnt correct it the whole dive. But, a few out of 65 isnt bad. All other times, it sealed perfectly and is an absolute joy to look out from. BIG difference in visibility from most other masks i've tried (around 4 otheres of various makes).

I have one with corrective lenses and love it. I also have a mustach and havent had any problem with leakage. also no problem with the strap yet but it is still new (6 dives with it)

Just purchased two a few weeks ago for me and future mrs. waterdog and we love them. Only had them in the pool once but they sealed great and viz is tremendous compared to some of the others we've tried.

No troubles with the strap, we replaced it with a slap.

Great mask, so far but no dives on it just pool sessions for our classes.
