Types of Masks
The most basic difference in masks lies in the number of lenses;
Single
lens masks were the first developed and remain a popular choice
because they provide a broad, uninterrupted view. Single lens designs
offer a clear un-obstructed view, but usually require that the lens is
positioned further from the divers face this tends to restrict the
horizontal and vertical vision as well as increasing internal
volume.
SCUBAPRO have solved this problem with two unique solutions in a single
lens design. Both the frameless and the Microframe minimise the bulk of
the frame by using high frequency welding technology to join the lens
and the skirt.
The end result is a single lens that sits closer to the divers face.
This provide the low volume and good peripheral vision of a two lens
design with the uninterrupted vision of a single lens design.
Twin lens masks are typically lower in internal volume than single lens masks and quicker to clear. By splitting the lens into two, it is possible to position the lenses closer to the divers face. This reduces internal volume and improves the field of vision. For these reasons, most sport divers use twin lens masks. SCUBAPRO's latest twin lens design optimise these advantages while positioning the lenses to prevent a blind spot in the centre.
