5 More Of The Best Scuba Masks

There are two things you don't want to rent: a mask and a dive computer. Because who wants to have a leaky mask or a dive computer they're not familiar with?

So here are 5 more of the best masks available

Cressi Big Eyes Scuba Mask

The extra large lenses provide great visibility. It is an extremely comfortable scuba mask to wear and the low volume design makes it great for scuba, snorkelling and also free diving. The inverted tear drop shaped lenses give you an expanded view downwards, perfect for easy descents and reef dives where the action is happening below you. Like most mid range dive masks you can also get a snorkel bundle set.

Cressi Panoramic Scuba Mask

The first time you dive with a wide view dive mask is a real eye opener! The difference that having peripheral vision makes is astounding and is the main draw of this mask. It is surprising what a difference an extra lens on each side can make in immersing you in your dive. A great fitting mask made with a super strong polycarbonate frame

Atomic Aquatics Frameless Dive Mask

The frameless design means it's a low volume mask with great field of view, which also makes it perfect for freediving. Large button style strap adjustment makes things easy, while a smaller skirt means it sits closer to your face. The sleek design helps reduce drag and the nose pocket fits like a dream. This is edging more to the pro side of gear which means that the price tag might be too much for some beginners looking for their first mask.

Octomask GoPro Dive Mask

Having your hands free during your dive while capturing footage from a first person perspective can make a very cool dive video. The build quality and visibility are surprisingly good

Oceanic Mako Dive Mask

Solid construction with a low volume design makes clearing this mask easy and provides a wide field of view for a non panoramic mask. Strong tempered glass lens and one of the softest skirts on this list. With the Oceanic Mako, keeping the strap fairly loose provides the best seal and minimizes any leaks. The neoprene strap cover is also a nice touch. Comes with a hard shell protective case for easy travel/storage. An excellent intermediate piece of dive gear
