HydroOptix
Price: £165.00
Traditional flat masks provide tunnel vision and block out up to 75% of normal field of view and whilst you can scan your eyes side to side in a flat mask with the illusion of a wide view it usually is less than 70 degrees . Along with this, the water refraction makes objects appear 34% bigger and 25% closer.
This revolutionary mask has been designed to deliver panoramic views (170 degrees x 90 degrees) that are true distance and true size giving you superior eye-hand co-ordination.
Although often described as ‘insect like’ the curved double-dome mask puts your eyes at the centre of a dome enabling razor-sharp vision throughout your entire view unlike the traditional flat mask where your vision is distorted.
HydroOptix features tough, scratch resistant, polycarbonate dome lenses that approximate a -4.5 diopter correction when in water making it an ideal mask for nearsighted divers (approx -3.75 to -5.25) as vision will be perfect underwater.However, with such phenomenal results underwater, many divers with near perfect vision are opting to make themselves ‘artificially’ nearsighted with the use of disposable contact lenses*. Whilst this may sound crazy, with your time underwater being valuable it deserves a razor-sharp view and almost 5x greater vision than anything that you will have used before this dramatic difference makes this a small sacrifice.
Each mask is supplied in a hard custom case with a neoprene lens protector, anti-fog gel and a monocle for above-water vision and when snorkelling.
