Doppler models someone's idea of the latest and greatest mask ever. Can anyone tell me what the additional lenses on the front are for? This is a HydroOptix mask (the kind people with normal vision need contacts to use)... have never tried one but I'm guessing they just might not be DIR.
 
I use the mask and it works great. I don't use the lens you have in your picture, it is for correcting the nearsightedness you have when your not under water with the mask. I see OK without the lens (I've been nearsighted since high school). For me it is DIR because I've gotten the best viz of all the masks I've tried. I wish it could work easier for those who are not nearsighted but the physics of lenses won't allow it. I even wear a pair of contacts while diving that make me more nearsighted so that I match the mask better - I have that need for reading glasses thing :D . Attached are a couple of mug shots of me with the mask. I wouldn't trade it for any mask I've seen.
 
Does this mean that Bubbles ( Trailer Park Boys ) can dive now?

It's most definitely a rule 6 violation!!! :11:

Can you play those old "view master" slides in that thing?
