This will be my next mask as soon as I save up enough cash.. $200. Because I'll see more stuff.

The Atomic Aquatics Venom Ultra Clear Dive Mask has a reinforcing internal frame that's molded directly beneath the surface of the silicone rubber skirt, like the Atomic Sub frame, yet it offers the relatively low profile of the Frameless. Also, its faceplate is single window like the Frameless, but it has a high bridge and tear drop shape. The Atomic Aquatics Venom Ultra Clear Dive Mask comes across as a high concept, stylish looking piece of gear when it's being held in your hand, and it's really comfortable when mounted on your face. Its easy to use squeeze to adjust buckles are soft mounted to the mask skirt, which allows a little bit of flexibility in strap positioning, plus they can be folded flat for packing.

Where the Atomic Aquatics Venom Ultra Clear Dive Mask differs from its little brothers the Atomic Sub Frame and the Frameless is in its faceplate construction. While the Sub Frame and Frameless lenses use Ultra clear glass, which has quite a rep for optical quality in its own right, on the Atomic Aquatics Venom Ultra Clear Dive Mask Atomic uses an even higher quality glass imported from Germany, the lens is called Schott Superwite glass, it allows more light to penetrate than even Ultra clear glass.

The Atomic Aquatics Venom Ultra Clear Dive Mask offers an above average field of view, and the soft skirt and watertight seal combined to make the Atomic Aquatics Venom Ultra Clear Dive Mask feel like a part of your face.

Hank, sorry I didn't acknowledge your loss, so yes you did fail miserably Your story's good because it felt like I lived that moment. For me the ones that got away make for the most poignant memories. It's always unfortunate though to lose a fish when you know it's not going to make it.

Good story about the cobe. I had a 45lb one continue fighting like that without gills.

No, I boiled it and it fell apart. Too much work to piece back together. I would try again with the maggot method.

Bryan/Nsearch is here lets see what he can tell us about this machine.

Speardiver has a high quality carbon fiber polespear for $110. Carbon is a great material for a polespear because it's light like a hollow aluminum polespear which makes it very fast, and has strength/durability like a fiberglass polespear. I haven't posted pics yet as I'm waiting to get a full assortment of tips.

Does it look anything like this?

:holyshipshit: awesome pic Don. I'd never use it but what an interesting contraption.

RIP

Chiseling out the pocket is not difficult, just time consuming. If you do it slowly it always works out. Pinning the mech at the right height however is a PITA. Good work getting it done right in the first try and not having to fill holes and drill again.

Welcome Allan.

It doesn't have to be white. Yellowish/stained looks more authentic to me.

Fantastic skull.

Cool. I didn't know it was already illegal back then.

Looks delicious Very nice fish.

Good post Mike. I have a similar issue with my boat and decided to raise the seat.

Beautiful grain.

Congratz.

Your concerns are valid. With longer fins you have to plan your dive better and maintain good form. They're not as maneuverable as the C90. C100 are not the fins I'd be using for lobstering.
