Scuba Choice Low Volume Silicone Spearfishing Mask – Comfortable Fit & Clear Vision for Freediving

I’ve not used that many dove masks, this is my third. But it’s been the most comfortable. Low volume, so you don’t get pressure on your face when diving down. I’ve used this mask on a few dozen dives by now and have had no issues , as long as I remember to shave the top of my lip where the mask sits, I have no issue with water getting in.I burnt the inside of the lenses to prevent fogging, and I use baby shampoo and water mixture to spray in the mask before I go diving. It goes hours without fogging. The o Lu time I’ve had issues is when I took of my mask multiple times and let water come in. What happens is the heat from you face causes the water inside to start forming condensation. So keep that in mine. Keep you mask on unless you absolutely have to take it off.I’ll be buying another one of these masksTo have on standby as a spare just in case I lose this one or it gets damaged in any way.

Wouldn't necessarily say they are the same as mares as there are a few differences aside from the lense and mask design. Though at my local dive shop they sell a mask that is the same exact mask as this with a anti glare coating for $90. I haven't used these much aside from a little in the river a scalloping in 9ft. When I go spearfishing I'll update. But in what I used so far it's pretty good. Good fit with nice field of view, press the mask in your face after getting in the water and the lense will be pretty close. Water doesn't like getting out on the bottom of the lense as there is a small pocket, it doesn't make much of a difference. Only complaint I can think of is that when I pinch my nose or hit the bottom with the snorkel water will get in the nose. Makes sense as there isn't a double seal on the bottom, keep in mind the same thing would be present with the mares star or whatever mask I seen for $90 near me. I didn't have a issue clearing underwater. Overall it's a pretty good mask especially for the value. Update: after scuba diving and freediving around 40 ft, the mask functioned good. didn't notice any leaks, though the issue with water sitting on the bottom of the lense persists. and can be annoying. you could have it dry on land and go in but eventually you'll readjust it or take it off and get water stuck in it.

This is clearly a clone of the Sporasub/Mares Star mask, and while the finish on the parts is not as good as the original, the issues are trivial and cosmetic (shiny vs matte skirt, untrimmed seams from silicone molding) with nothing to compromise actual function. The design it is based on is very good (sturdy, low volume and great field of view) so, at a fraction of the price of the original, this is a great deal.As a reference for those wondering if this will fit them - up until now the best fitting mask I've used is the one re-branded as an IST Bluetech / Scubamax Aria / Subgear Steel ... to name some of the labels it's sold under. While that mask is probably a better fit for a wider range of faces, this one fits me better (snugger fit, lower volume, better lateral field of view). Incidentally, while some reviews have said the Mares Star is better suited to narrower faces, I'm one of those wider faces that the Omer Zero 3 actually fits (and the Micromask is too small for), and I would rate this as a good mask for a bigger/wider face. The volume and field of view is not as good as the Zero, but the skirt is more forgiving and the frame over the top of the nose is less likely to press uncomfortably.Oh ... I also received my package a week ahead of the promised date.

Excellent value, but it takes time to know the mask. Fit may be difficult to find or unexpected. Once the fit is found take your time to make sure before every dive. If you have a good fit the mask is bomb proof, I've gone through waves with it. But if you don't find that fit, low-volume means that mask really fills up fast which is frustrating.The reason for the 4 and not 5 stars is because I think the tempered glass statement should be on the bottom of the lens rather than the top. To get a good fit, the lettering is in the way

Basically a knockoff of a Mares Star mask. I own the Mares Star mask too. I actually like this mask better than the Mares version. Silicon just feels a bit better. Frame is glossy, not matte like the Mares, but the overall fit and finish seem as good or better in my opinion. I've own DOZENS of dive masks over the years from all the top brands and this cheap one is my go-to mask 95% of the time. The low volume fit is great. Despite being low volume I don't have any issue with the frame hitting my brow between my eyes. Smaller sized lens but because it sits close to the face I find the field of view as good or better than many of my larger, much more expensive masks. I like it so much more than all my other masks I bought a couple extra to store just in case they stop making it in the future. I also have a goatee so many masks don't seal around my upper lip, this one does. I use mine for swimming, scuba, and spearfishing.For the price, 1/5 the price of the Mares version, buy it and try it. It may become your favorite mask.
