riffe/aqa mantis amber
Which spearfishing mask do you use?
-
-
Mantis 5 amber.
-
Riffe frameless. It's high volume, but I have a really odd face that doesn't fit anything with a frame.

Love the fit of this mask, haven't found another I like better.
I got a yellow one last time and am liking the bright frame alotwould love a pursuit one similar with a RED frame;)

I used the Omer alien for looong time, but I recently tried the Sporasub Mystic for the Gopro mount.. really like the Mystic.

Technisub Micromask w/ gopro mount

I have lost some weight so my Riffe Mantis started leaking.
I just purchased the Oceanways SuperView Mask in black from sports chalet and dove with it yesterday. I haven't taken any fish with it but I did grab some short lobsters in poor viz and it worked great. The Oceanways mask adjusted easily on the move, had a better field of view and didn't leak, I'm looking forward to trying it some more on future dives. -
I have been using the Cressi Big Eyes mask for almost 10 years now. Definitely love this mask. I have a wide face.

Omer Bandit here. Ive tried a few others but always go back to the bandit.
-
Still micromask. Although I use my bandit w gopro a good bit now.
I have given up on the head mount. I must have an oddly shaped head or wear my mask too high because the camera will not stay on my head. -
We are fortunate that the $20 Cressi Perlas fit both Spearalina and me perfectly. One spare between us is all we need as a spare. Deeper than 50' thought, the Perla gives me a pretty good squeeze, so I recently picked up a Sphera to try for deeper boat dives. The fit is awesome and it's quite low volume. It was a display model, had a few insignificant scratches on the plastic lens, and priced accordingly. The first time trying it out was very strange with the curved side lens but I did manage to connect with a smaller fast moving mackerel while wearing it. I have yet to try the Sphera deep, but the Perla will be coming along as backup when I do.

For freediving, a vintage Soleil silicone ( dyed black) and a Hollis M1 technical for other diving.I had 6 Soleil masks
stored away in 1982 and I'm down to 2.
I have tried a few ''micro'' masks but fit comes first for me ...I'm a fat head.:DCheers, Don

Don do you know of any other masks in the same style as your soleil? Ive seen similar ones in videos, but they were all older videos and were probably that same model. If they still make such a mask I'd definitely want to try one out.

Dacor used to have one that was very close but I know of no clones any more. I have had a post in a vintage dive forum for two years looking for Soleil masks with no responses, sorry.
Cheers, Don

I.m currently using a Riffe Naida with graduated lenses and let me tell you something, -there is no better thing than using a graduated mask. In sipte of that Naida doesn´t fit my face as nice as the mantis mask
-
I have tried many masks but only found success with the Riffe Naida(sp?). I got a mantis for $5 but its just too big and at the end of the dive slides over my upper lip. I have two of the Riffe Naida, one clear and one mirror. I had one issue with the mirror's frame coming apart, but easily repairable.
Cheers!

Whats your thoughts on the mirror lenses?

Worst thing ever, You can´t see ship with those, seriously, they are too dark from the inside out and the "hide your stare" thing is ludricous. Don´t ever bother trying one of those, get the amber instead
