I got my Samurai Mask from Barter Maisons and I’m truly amazed by its performance! The anti-reflective finish makes it perfect for swimming laps in the pool without a single reflection in sight. However, I wish the strap was a bit longer so it can fit more heads.

I recently purchased the Samurai 100%, waterproof diving mask from Barter Maisons. I was a bit skeptical about the product at first, but after trying it out for a while, I am totally impressed! The lens to eye distance has been reduced, making it super comfortable to wear for extended periods. The frame is lightweight, which is ideal for swimmers like me. The matte finish is also a nice touch as it doesn’t produce any glare while underwater. Overall, a great product! I highly recommend it.

I was looking for a diving mask with anti-fog technology and found the Samurai 100%. But is it true that it provides better visibility than other comparable products?

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Mares Samurai Mask. We’re glad to hear that you have a 5-star experience with the product. To answer your question, the Mares Samurai Mask is designed for scuba diving and has been tested for use with helmets, including diving helmets. The mask features a new frame design that provides an improved fit under a helmet and reduces pressure points. However, we recommend trying it on before taking it on a diving trip to ensure a proper and comfortable fit. Would you like to provide more feedback or ask more questions?

Can anyone tell me what’s the primary difference between Samurai 100% waterproof and non-waterproof diving masks?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out, Christina! The primary difference between the Samurai 100% waterproof and non-waterproof diving masks is the coating that provides the waterproofing feature. The 100% waterproof version has this special coating which prevents water from seeping into the mask.

How does the matte finish of Samurai Mask reduce glare while underwater?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Khairil. The matte finish on the Mares Samurai Mask helps reduce glare by minimizing the amount of light that is reflected off the surface of the mask. This is particularly useful when diving in bright underwater conditions, as it can help you see more clearly and comfortably. The anti-reflective coating also reduces the appearance of your own dive light reflecting off the mask, making it easier to enjoy your dive without any distractions.
