I have noted the Beaver Atomic and Hollis M4 appear almost identical, likewise the Scubapro Frameless, all are very differently priced however. Anyone have any direct experience with either of these?

Fit and Comfort are the most important, for most scuba diving mask, all contains the basic feature like silicone strap, tempered glass, aiti-fog technology, anti-drop frame, and myopic lens if shortsightedness.
Go with what fits you. Doesn’t matter if it’s $20 or $100. A mask that fits is priceless. Number 17 was the charm for me. And no, I’m not joking.
Well when you have a factory in China you find a website and spend a day liking posts and replying to old posts making sure your company profile is in the signature.Nothing like reviving an almost year old thread for an advertisement. I'm not sure what "aiti-fog technology" is but all my masks all have a revolutionary anti-fog technology, it's called "spit".
I just took my gear in for service and I saw one of these masks on the shelf. WHOA. I've never seen anything like it. I think there is about a teaspoon of air volume in there LOL!!!!!!!! It's way more than $75 now of course- looks like retail is $116. Who owns or has owned one of these? Thoughts or opinions?Scubapro Devil mask. Single lens for maximum field of view. Extremely low volume, one of the lowest of any single lens mask I have ever seen. Flared out lens for very, very wide field of vision to the side and down--one of the best fields of view I have ever seen. Ultra-clear glass (like the Atomic). Frameless design for easy packing, great strap included, with a really wide section over the back of your head--solid as a rock (seems like a small thing, but it's really nice).
Price: about $75.00. Half of the Atomic, every bit as good. I was an atomic user for 15 years but this mask is distinctly better, and half the price to boot.
I have had some bad luck with masks lately. Spent some time at my LDS and settled on the TUSA Paragon. The skirt is so comfortable, and the optical glass is very nice. I added some antifog inserts that came with it. Dove 15 times in a week in Roatan with no issues. Easy adjustments. Presently on sale (20% off) until the end of June. Pricey but worth it IMHO.Hi everyone. In the market for a new mask. Recommendations on some quality ones would be much appreciated! If you can let me know what's great about them as well, that would be awesome!
