The mask fits my face well and doesn’t leak at all, even after an hour in the water. Really impressed with how clear the lenses are—makes spotting fish much easier during my dives.

The build quality is solid and the mask is comfortable even during longer dives. Slight fogging occurs sometimes but clearing it is easy.

Thank you, Suresh, for your honest review. If you continue to experience fogging, we recommend applying a defog solution before each dive for even clearer vision.
