Buying frameless generic without trying

[quisp65]

Considering buying an Apollo Frameless Bio-mask but haven't tried one on yet. The ScubaPro Frameless fits me just fine and I've never had a mask leak doing the suck up with your nose thing. I'm a new diver but have skin dived for a while and have never had much problems with masks.

I don't know why I'm writing this. I guess I want the go ahead to buy from some stranger Do you think the generic frameless are similar or are there sometimes differences? Anybody ever have a generic frameless leak and a Scubapro frameless work fine?

Don't buy it unless you have a wide face.

If the Subapro frameless fits you perfectly, why not get that one?
It is important to have gear that fits really good, and even if it is a bit more expensive, it might be a good investment.

I have heard that the Apollo basically is the same mask, but I would try it first if I where you. Otherwise you might end up spending money on something that does not really work for you.

The apollo bio-mask's skirt is too wide for my face (it would rather flood than clear). The scubapro has a narrower skirt and fits great.

I have the SP frameless and love it. Best mask I have ever had. Also fits all the people that I dive with, which is important to know in the even that it is needed for one of my team members. (its my backup mask as well)

I second you on that. I also use the Scubapro frameless, and it is the only mask I have tried so far that, for me, is completely leak free.
