Hey, Pre-BC
Oceanobsessed is right- US Divers/Aquaspshere has completely stopped production of the Sphera. It's one of the great freediving masks because it's compressibility makes equalizing easy when you're going down fast. It's also great for underwater hockey since you have great peripheral vision, even if it's a bit distorted. You have to keep it in its case when you're now wearing it if you want the lenses to stay unscratched. The mask is very popular in Europe, and divers there are vacuuming up the supply so they won't be caught out.
Have look here:
Actually the weird forum software keeps telling me I can't post URLs. I'll email the address to you. to foil the software, though, you can enter this address manually:
www "dot" aqua-gear "dot" com/SnorkelGearSnorkelingMasks_c.html, and you'll see the dorky clear skirt with blue plastic frame model for $40.95.
They were selling last fall on Amazon for $28.95, but have become so rare that the price keeps going up- Amazon jacked them up to $34.95, and now they're asking $45.95. Anyhow, they're going fast, so you better act now. I was able to grab 2 of the black-skirted model in Feb. but looking around now- nobody has the black model left. I got mine for $28.95 from Swim2000 "dot" com, but they're now completely sold out of both the black & clear models.
Also, look on eBay- they come up for sale there sometimes- even black ones.
