Darn, and Christmas is past. Looks pretty sweet, and is supposed to give you 180° more vision than a flat mask. Anyone want to buy a blue scuba pro mask?

Oh well...

Thanks;

The website says something about them being self-correcting for a wide range of near-sighted people. It kinda made me wonder if they work for normal sighted people? :)

Yeesh... I'd rather see what's there. Harbor seals like to follow around ab and spear fishermen here to try to steal your catch. I had a couple come up right along side me! :scram:

And if the sea monsters don't get you, the rough seas will... :barf:

I didn't know these were $200 though... :(

(will sell frags for swim gear)

200 bucks... wow, you could buy a full face mask, that you could add communictions to, for a few more bucks. I own about 12 masks, and I usually use the cheaper ones. The new "fad" masks, just havnt done it for me. I usually use my Tusa Visulator(excellent vision) or my Sherwood Magnum EX Panoramic Single Window Mask(very good vision and Excellent fit) I believe both of these masks can be had for around 50 bucks. Check www.leisurepro.com as they usually have excellent prices and service. I have bought several Sea vision masks (because they are supposed to be great) but they all collect dust in my garage.

Another thing I just noticed on their site, is if you want the mask to work properly, you have to wear contact lenses, to make yourself near sited. That is strange and bizarre, to wear contacts to make you in air vision worse, so you can see better under water!!!

I think I'll stick to my good oldfashioned mask as well and save the money to get my regulator, BC, wetsuit, and tanks instead! The mask I have is comfortable, doesn't leak and lets me see what I need to see at the moment!
