Hello Antonio,
how is your experience with mirrored masks? I am entering the world of scuba diving and would like to buy a Scubapro Synergy, and I saw they have normal and mirrored masks… but as I have no experience, it’s a bit tricky to know how I would see things underwater.
Thank you!

In reply to Jenn. Amanda uses a Riffe mask, not the Mantis LV but a frameless, and she absolutely loves it. I know many people that would dive with a different mask now! I love diving with my GoPro but I prefer to have it on a stick (GoPole type) rather than on the mask, so I can play with different angles, but that's just my personal preference I guess.

My husband really wants the Riffe Mantis LV after one of our diving experiences. I would love it if we could afford the Octomask GoPro. Thank you for compiling a great list of reviews, so he can do a little more homework before he picks one!

In reply to Michelle. There are so many cool things underwater that you want to make sure you can actually see them properly. Another option is to dive with contact lenses if you have them. It's a bit tricky at the beginning but it becomes second nature after a while. I use my contacts to dive, so don't need prescription lenses (which can make your mask quite pricey).

Perfect timing! Since we started diving in Roatan, I realized I might need a mask that accepts prescription lenses. So now the hunt to find the perfect mask becomes more difficult. 1. It has to fit well (I’ve noticed the skirt on some is too low below my nose, and it causes discomfort with the reg in) 2. It has to accept prescription lenses and 3. It can’t completely break my budget.
