Hello all,
I will be taking the family to the Caribbean later this year. Obviously there will be a lot of snorkeling and maybe some shallow reef dives (20 - 40 ft.) with the kids. I want to get them their own masks and found the Aquacolor masks to be really interesting. www.aquacolor.com
According to Aquacolor, their lenses are the hot ticket for seeing all the true colors that a beautiful reef has to offer. The way they lay it out scientifically makes sense, they have received an award from the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers for a camera filter made of the same material the mask lenses are made of and they have some great comparison shots using their filter to demonstrate the "with and without the mask" effect (please see attached image).
The stuff on their site is very convincing, however, I don't find much supporting evidence of their claim outside of their own web site. No glowing 3rd-party reviews, no recommendations from dive shops or users of the mask (except those on their web site) and very few people selling the masks other than Aquacolor.
My question is this - Does anyone here have any experience with these masks, or know anyone who has ever used these masks and can attest to weather these things really work this well, especially for snorkeling?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. :bonk:
