I current use a Beaver Stealth mask but when looking into the blue for sharks all I can see is the reflection of my eyes which is annoying.
I'm looking for recommendations on a mask which would combat the problem.
 
Any mask with a clear lens should be OK, black body is better than transparent to prevent light coming in on the sides.

P.S., it is advice not advise
 
A mask with a black skirt should help.

If it's that bright, you might also benefit from a filtered lens - i.e. a colored lens that filters some of the light. In blue water, a magenta lens will filter out some of the light making what's left look much more like its natural color. I use a magenta lens in blue water and I really like it. Things actually have other colors than just blue!

I use the SeaVision 2100, with black skirt, magenta lens, and gauge reader lens for my old eyes.

Dive Gear Express has some similar masks in their Bargain Annex right now that are pretty inexpensive.

I don't know anything about the masks that DGX has. But, DGX generally only sells quality products and they have an AWESOME return policy and AWESOME customer service.

In particular, check out the DGX Color Enhancing mask for $15.
 
Thanks for the replies (and the English lesson) The stealth mask I'm using at the moment has a red coating so as not to lose colours up to 30m and works well when looking at the fish and coral. I will try the suggestions Thanks.
Remember, an education is important but diving is importanterer.
