The Aropec Obsidian Frameless Mask – black/black is purpose-built for freediving and apnea diving, featuring an ultra-low-volume Ultra low design that minimises clearing effort at depth. The panoramic tempered-glass lens delivers sharp clarity even below 30 metres, while the anatomically shaped silicone skirt creates a watertight seal on repeated equalisation cycles. Ideal for breath-hold sessions at Sipadan’s 600 m drop-off walls, where minimal volume and maximum visibility are non-negotiable.

Suited for Malaysian Dive Sites
The Aropec Obsidian Frameless Mask – black/black performs reliably across Malaysia’s premier diving destinations. Whether you’re exploring Sipadan’s 600 m drop-off walls, or venturing to new reefs and wrecks, this mask delivers the clarity and comfort you need on every descent.
Care & Maintenance
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after each session – salt and chlorine degrade silicone over time.
- Store away from direct sunlight; UV exposure hardens and discolours silicone skirts.
- Apply a thin layer of mask defogger before each dive for optimal clarity.
- Inspect the skirt seal regularly for micro-tears – a small cut can cause persistent leaks at depth.
Final Verdict
For the dedicated freediver or spearfisher operating in Malaysian waters, the Aropec Obsidian Frameless Mask – black/black is a mask that earns its place in the kit bag. Its low-volume design and reliable seal mean you spend less energy clearing and more time focused on your dive objectives.

I found the tempered glass lens very durable and safe to use underwater. But I wish there were more color options available. The sleek black is great, but more colors would elevate the product!>

Generally, the frameless design provides a clear field of vision. However, I wish there were back-up or spare parts available in case of immediate need!
Nicole Lee –
The low-volume design has really improved my diving experience. It clears faster than my previous masks, and there’s a noticeable decrease in drag.

Can the compact dimensions actually fit medium to small faces? I’ve had some issues with other masks being too wide.
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Ethan, thank you for your question and for taking the time to review our Aropec Obsidian Frameless Mask. We understand your concern about the compact dimensions and their suitability for medium to small faces. The mask’s narrowest dimension is indeed 124mm, and it’s designed to fit a wide range of face shapes. However, we understand that individual faces may vary, and we recommend trying the mask on before purchasing to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. We’d be happy to provide a refund or exchange if you find that the mask doesn’t fit your face properly. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re always here to help!

One thing I wish was better is the adjustment process could be a bit smoother; however, the design overall is functional and comfy. Would recommend for beginners or small face sizes!
