I have been reading about this new diving mask, sounds like a good idea and perhaps long over due.
I was wondering if you guys had seen anything like this?

Looks interesting, bet it comes with a hefty price tag!

Haven't had a chance to really read it up, but it does look interesting. Haven't seen anything like it before.

And you're right Deb, My mask was about $90, and this one is about $199!

Looks like quite an incredible mask. I'm seeing more and more of these types of masks on the market now Like Gambitt, I paid about $90 for my mask, which has done me well for a long time now. When I finally break down and look to get a new one, I'll have to keep this one in mind :D

These masks are on sale right now at Adventure Divers in Peterborough for $185...

I'm going to take a look at one, when I'm there today.

In a word... NOT

I would have to wear contacts, with the mask to get the full effect. That is not going to happen.

Adventure divers has pool nights on Thursdays and Pepi has one their to try it, so I might give that a go.

Cressi has a new wide angle mask that looks interesting too.
