Need mask help!!!

I am looking for a good freediving mask for around $25. I came up with either the Cressi-sub Minima (which I know alot have used buit it does have a small field of vision), the XS scuba Laguna RS( Buy XS Scuba Laguna Rs Mask MA300 with reviews at scuba.com) or the Deep See Omni ( Buy Deep See Omni Mask D27812 with reviews at scuba.com) I also want to be able to use it for snorkling so a good field of view would be nice. Just wondering what you guys think. I would realy like to hear about the XS and Deep See because I have read alot about the Minima.

Re: Need mask help!!!

I just made a lengthy post that got deleted. So in short, I said I am happy with my Super oochio for $50 but Leisurepro.com has a cressi sub Focus for $25 that has good reviews. Good luck with your purchase!

Cressi big eyes is also around 25 bucks, not super low volume but good for spearfishing.

Have a look at the Aqua Sphere Sphera. That's the perfect mask for me (and a lot of others I know).

Re: Need mask help!!!

You can find the Sphera on Amazon for between $25 and $40. I've bought from "Swim2000" a few times and been very happy. Check all the fine print on shipping, taxes etc... though for whoever you buy from. I've passed on some seemingly great deals when I found they'd try to sting me on the shipping particularly.

Those Cressis are nice; like the visibility they provide and for short hunts, have had no problem/issue with them.

Re: Need mask help!!!

Your mask is the single most important external tool you will use as a diver. Why limit yourself to 25$? Get a mask that is everything you want and buy it, no matter the cost.
Cheers.

Sphera - good for deep diving, while it has good field of vision, the vision is also distorted, cause its all from plastic...

For general diving try the Technisub Marina / Micromask. Very good and clear field of vision, very low volume. Against the Sphera it lacks the compresibility, but that's only an issue in deep diving...
