OK, I'm tired of the distortions and the flat mask world and stumbled on the hydro optics web page. The mask looks pretty cool and with my -2.5 diopter, it might be just right.

How many of you have one and/or have tried it?

What is the web site URL?
 
I just looked at that site, thanks. For someone like myself that only needs reading correction, this is overkill. The diveoptix lenses work fine, or I can just use my contacts which are bifocal.

My only real big concern with this mask is the airspace volume. It's hard to tell by the pictures, but it looks kind of large which is not a good thing.

For someone who needs serious correction, this might be a choice. The prices, when you add in the "accessories" really starts to add up, though.

I've been to the pool with it now and I can say that the field of view is extensive, much greater than my flat mask. It clears easily for the volume. It's not likely to be chosen by free divers, but it seems fine for scuba. I managed to clear it twice on one large breath, so that isn't a big deal. The volume and lightness of the mask does give it a fair amount of bouyancy though. I'm going to check the relative volume vs. my window mask tonight.
