Not sure if this is the best camera for underwater photography but does the job well.

What is the material used for the mask’s straps?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out to us about the Mares X-VU Mask. The strap on the X-VU Mask is made from X-shaped silicone, which provides flexibility and comfort for divers. This type of material is commonly used for mask straps due to its durability and resistance to abrasion. We appreciate your feedback and would be happy to answer any more questions you may have.

However, the silicone skirt could be more durable.
Caitlin Goh –
Overall, I’m extremely happy with it! The fit and adjustability are top-notch.
Emily Lim –
The Mares X-VU Mask has exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort and performance. I’ve used it for several dives and have experienced no issues. The small ribs around the nose provide excellent pressure relief. Highly recommend!
Jeremy Chew –
The Mares X-VU Mask has been my go-to diving mask for the past year. It’s incredibly comfortable and the X-shaped silicone strap provides a secure fit. However, I would have liked a slightly better field of view.

Can the Mares X-VU Mask be used for freediving, or is it more suited for recreational scuba diving? What are the benefits of using it for freediving?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out about using the Mares X-VU Mask for freediving. While this mask is versatile and suitable for both recreational scuba diving and freediving, its primary feature lies in the comfort and ventilation it provides during scuba diving. The small ribs around the nose relieve pressure, and the X-shaped silicone strap ensure a secure fit. However, for freediving, it’s essential to consider the flexibility and minimal-resistance design. The Mares X-VU Mask excels in this area, allowing for better sinus expansion and reduced resistance when equalizing. Nevertheless, some freedivers might prefer a more specialized mask that offers complete field of view (FOV) without the frame and nose bridge covering any of it. If you do decide to use the Mares X-VU Mask for freediving, you’ll still enjoy its comfort features, but keep in mind its limitations compared to dedicated freediving masks.

I’ve been using the Mares X-VU Mask for a few months now and I’m really impressed with its performance. The silicone skirt is flexible and comfortable around my eyes. The only minor issue I have is that the strap can sometimes become loose during intense swimming.
