Cutting edge masks in 2008

The latest and greatest cutting edge masks in 2008 are the newly designed "frameless" (ergo low volume and lowest profile) Aqua Lung Technisub Tyke design.

Pricing is around 40 Euros, not cheap.

The crystal clear skirt & modified frame let in the most lighting and provide the best peripheral vision. Black is also available for hunting or photography. Other beautiful clear and solid colours include aquamarine, which looks good on girls and women.

Custom lenses can be installed into them by many local labs around the world, including bifocals if you need them for reading your dive computer.

5 Years ago, the cutting edge mask back then was the Mares Target ultra-low volume mask, in black. I believe this has now been superseded by the new Aqua Lungs, which take ultra-low volume to even newer levels by shaving away at the frame itself and thus reducing even further the volume.

That mask has been available in the states for several years now.

I hope they prove to be durable. I got two of them, and vision through them is very clear with no sense of tunnel vision. About every 5 years it is good to replace your masks, and for me it has been another 5 years.

Let's hope their quality control is as good as it used to be. I bought the tyke about 4 years ago, I think. I bought it to replace my original Hawaii mask (also US diver / Aqualung) that was purchased in 1989!
