That picture is actually the Eagleye SL that I have with purge cost $89. I got it from my LDS. without purge $79. I have a large face. The mask has some of the best optical quality glass I have ever seen. It is a small mask and does not have as good a field of view as the Atomic Frameless which does not fit my face.
The pilot has 2 lenses. It would be nice to find the Monarch to try on; it would have an excellent field of view. I would call around since the online price is the same as the local price.
Check out dive right in scuba since they first responded to the post. They will probably cut you a deal and get you what you need. The Monarch if available would have a greater field of view. It is always best to try it on for fit first.
I'm wondering if SEADIVE is a California Company if CA dive shops can sell it cheaper?
The purge is a white round plastic/silicon valve in the nose piece. It is designed to make it easier to clear water from the mask. The new soft feather edge on most masks are easy to clear without a purge valve. A purge valve can have problems - make it harder to pinch your nose, a long nose may hit it, and sand can block it open. I normally get a purge on my mask, but most divers do not like them. Somewhere I saw the SEADIVE purge sold separately for $13, but I can not find the picture.
So what I have is an Eagleye-SL with purge TruVu RayBlocker and Antifog.
