d-OO-m shaped mask hydro optix

[sharky950]

Hi every body, any one had any exp. with this mask?

 

[Starcruiser]

I've got one, and I love it. Blind as a bat ashore without my specs, but with this mask underwater everything is clear and sharp. No squinting at the gauges, able to see stuff without guessing....
Highly recommended.

They are made of plastic and scratch really easy, also they are very expensive.

Hi ...

& Welcome to ...
:sblogo: ... :colours::colours:...

I wondered about the mask myself

 

[Starcruiser]

The plastic does scratch easy, but if you take care of it properly, it isn't an issue. Also, under water the scratches that do get there disappear. There is a padded cover that comes with the mask to make it easier to keep it scratch free.

Cant see the scratches underwater, and you have a cover to put on between dives
too costly? ... get one from Jon at the Long Beach Scuba Show .. tell him Scuba Board sent you

here are some thoughts on them ...
