REAL Silicone Skirt Masks

[buddhasummer]

My X-Vision is my second best fit only behind the Atomic Frameless, go figure. My wife loves hers. But, I am talking about the softness of the silicone, not the shape or fit. But, most masks fit me fine.

I envy you James.

I envy you James.

Well don't be. But, if my vision continues to decline I may have to go back to the X-Vision because I can get ground lenses for it (I think). That will be a sad day but I was having a hard time reading my camera settings this last trip. Not sure why, I have the stick-on lenses in all of my masks and they have done well until know, enough for me to see my instruments and camera. I am a style queen, I am not sure I can have a mask with those big glued on nerd lenses.

I made the mistake of ditching my backup AA Frameless 1 for an AA Venom ARC. The Venom's ARC lens is great, but the skirt/fit sucks IMO. Now my basic Frameless 1 is my primary and I keep a $270 backup mask stuffed in my shorts' pocket where it belongs.

That sux. And I live on BI so I have to read reviews and online it with fingers crossed. Like I said though. That trufit stuff is all bees knees. We gotta get together. Maybe get me on some wrecks and ill get you on some untouched reefs and walls! Youve got a 600 right? Fly over and lets cruise! Ill have to take Mokulele to get my 1500 to Oahu though

Unfortunately my process of becoming more nomadic has caused me to briefly be between CCRs and DPVs. If you find yourself on Oahu, though, I'll scrounge up a DPV and enough OC gas to hang. Have numbers for an as-yet-unidentified, late 1800s/early 1900s wreck at 240'-270' with pieces as far down slope as 330'.

Ouch! No Genny or rEvo? I hope the travels are treating you well. Pry that sh*t from my cold dead hands. The wreck sounds interesting. How far out?

I hear you re declining eye sight, mine has gotten so bad the last year or two I'm now having great trouble using my compass particularly when viz is low or when water has a green tinge.

A short scooter ride from the Sea Tiger wreck at 120', which is itself close enough to shore off Honolulu that we often find kayak and even shore divers on it. The Sea Tiger makes a good way to stay amused for the intermediate stops.

My favorite frameless mask is the Cressi F1. It doesn't have that squishy silicone skirt you were asking for, though. I really wish the Atomic masks fit my face better.

Check Diverite ES155 mask, it has very soft silicone.
