I have a Mares Zero 9, well I should say had, was diving Breakwater in CA today, got out to nice water depth, tried to go down, mask seemed to be leaking, thought eh, must have caught it in my hood, went up, took it off, and found that the top plastic piece had snapped, and that the lenses were falling out!
So, now I need a replacement, thing is I have custom made (and ground) lenses for my Zero 9, now what I want is a mask that will fit the same lenses, unfortunately I'm thinking the only mask that will do this is in fact, another Mares Zero 9 (which are no longer being made). I can pick one up for around $50 from the internet but I'm worried that taking it apart to put the new lenses in I might break it, any help? Does any other mask have the same size lenses (if so I can get one from my LDS and get THEM to put the lenses in, thus saving a lot of hassle) otherwise I'll just have to wing it (or buy a completely different mask and new lenses, but that'll be rather more expensive than I want to pay right now).
Thoughts?
