Apeks VX1 Scuba Diving Mask

I love this mask. It does not push up on the bottom of my nose when I’m doing deep dives. It also keeps the water out without squeezing my face.

It’s a scuba mask through and through and it will serve you well for probably years to come on all of your diving adventures if you take care of it. Every mask fits every face different so I’ll say this, I’m 6’2″, 210 lbs and have a defined jaw and a bigger than average…nose, but this fits like a dream. Really, it’s like wearing one of those face treatments your wife(partner) uses at night that you should not have been too scared to start using 7 years ago. You know what I’m talking about. Enough about that, what you really want to know:Pros:1. Great seal, frameless design wraps that silicone around your face so you are assured to get that lovely (I just went diving ring) around your face by the time you’re done and on the beach telling everyone what they missed.2. You get a nice semi-hard case, 2 straps (1 silicone, 1 Velcro headband), you really don’t need anything else unless you just really like gadgets around your face.3. Single lens provides exceptional visibility with no tint (not a fan of tinted lenses).Cons: (Why you get an honest 4 stars and not 5)1. There are a lot of reviews saying how much this fogs…I must say, everyone knows your 3 options to prep your mask (before you get in the water) right? 1. Toothpaste, 2. Lighter, 3. Sponge and soap, well I’m telling you Apeks decided they really wanted to protect this lens because I found the ONLY way to prep this properly was to use…FIRE! There was way too much silicone spray (or whatever chemical dejour) on the inside of this lens. You absolutely must prep this mask to love it and enjoy a fog-free dive!That’s it, I love this mask and you should too, but you gotta put in the time to prep this bad boy before getting under the waves…especially if you’re going out for the day and actually want to see clearly. I can see why this mask gets such great reviews and I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase again!Happy diving!

Once again a product from Apeks exceeds industry standard. The mask skirt is comfortable, the glass is perfect, the case is exceptional, and the UV coating is a great asset both on and below the surface. Without a doubt, I recommend this mask. Constructive criticism can only be applied to the optional neoprene strap, the Velcro attachment point is a bit scratchy on the face and it should be provided in white when accompanying the white mask.

This mask is great quality, it’s probably the nicest mask I’ve ever used. Unfortunately it’s on the smaller side, which I was surprised about. I expected it to be larger. I think Apeks should offer a larger version of the mask for people with bigger faces/heads.

This mask is awesome ?. I have a difficulty finding masks that fits my face, but this one is something else.
