Started out with a TUSA Freedom HD and it works good. Decided to try out a frameless and I like the idea of Schott glass. It works great in high end optics so it has to be good in a diving mask. I got a Venom and I really like the way it fits, but I seem to have developed an issue....first problem was fogging. When I bought the TUSA the guy at the dive shop in the Keys recommended a product called "Sea Buff". I used it.....once....the mask really didn't fog, so I thought that was it.
Fast forward to the present and the Venom was fogging constantly. Read up on masks fogging and cleaned it several more times and now the problem is solved. I guess some masks are just worse than others about needing to be cleaned.
Now to the real problem, I could not get the Venom to stop leaking. Here is the thing, I can snorkel around all day and it wont leak a drop, but slap on a tank and go 10 ft. deep and it will leak pretty good. I believe this is something I am doing wrong because now the TUSA is doing the same thing. Both masks feel really good to wear and I know they will seal. If I had trouble with the Venom I could always do my next dive with the TUSA and it wouldn't leak, but not any more. Again, can snorkel around and dive down to 10 ft. no problem but on scuba they leak....what am I doing wrong???? Thanks in advance for any info.
