Good Morning :)

XS SCUBA Fusion 2

The Fusion 2 was best of all the side-window designs in its view through the front window alone, both to the sides and up and down. It was only "fair" in the low-volume category, a result of having side windows. These side windows are flat, clear and beveled where they meet for no corner-post effect. Testers were divided over whether the no-post corner found here and on the other masks is a good thing. One camp said no post means more glass, more image. The other felt a post acts like a DMZ between the warring front and side images. Meanwhile, the Fusion 2 gives a good all-around view through the front window alone. Also available are a version with purge and one for smaller faces.

What kind of masks is for you?

DEEP SEE Spectra

The Spectra earned a top score for its wide view to the sides. Tall, squarish windows give good vision in the corners too--no surprise, as TV and movie screens are also rectangular. The picture through its big front window felt natural, comfortable and even bigger than the numbers suggest (hey, what can we tell you, it's a square world). The downward view is excellent, too, rating 9 out of a possible 10. The strap adjustment is fairly easy.

Good Morning Sunday,

We have another review of mask for diver!

AQUA LUNG Tyke

The Aqua Lung Tyke is also hot out of the mold and nearly as small as the Mythos. This mask got excellent scores for low volume and horizontal view, and "very good" (8 out of 10) in the up/down direction. The slightly lower score in the vertical dimension may be due to the front windows, which have a more squarish shape for better view through the corners. The Tyke has the same thin straps and the same open-work frame as the Mythos for a little view out the sides if you choose a clear skirt.

Mask Review

AQUA LUNG Mythos

It may look tiny, but the view it offers is huge. This brand-new mask from Aqua Lung scored a perfect "10" both for low volume and wide horizontal vision through the front two windows. Vision is excellent in the up/down direction, too, partly because the lens shape is pointed at the bottom to improve downward vision. Though there are no side windows per se, large cutouts in the "open-design" frame allow you to see a little through the clear skirt. The Mythos is one of the lowest-volume masks we've ever tested.

Good Morning Friday,

Enjoy to snorkel and dive around Three Rocks.

Planning a Deep Dive

Formal dive planning is more important when the stresses are higher and the margin for error is smaller. The planning process is also a time to gauge your buddy's anxiety level—and your own. The elements:

Objective and route.

Time, depth, air limits. Especially important when no-decompression bottom time may be only a few minutes. And decide on a time or air pressure for starting your ascent.

Conditions. Are you both comfortable with the planned depth, the vis, the current, the cold?

Equipment. Where is your buddy's BC inflator, alternate air, weight release, etc.? Are you both rigged correctly?

Communications. Have you agreed on the same hand signals?

Lost buddy procedure. What will you do if you are separated?

Emergency skills. Review what to do in the event of low air, entanglement, etc.
