60:Second ScubaLab - Seasoft Visionmaster Super Mask and Seaguard Snorkel

Seasoft’s frameless Visionmaster Super Mask features lenses made of H-G-G glass with Crystal ARC anti-reflective coatings that virtually eliminate glare. HGG glass and Crystal ARC coatings are found on the optics of leading riflescopes and camera lenses and allow up to 20% more light to reach your eyes. The flaring, full liquid-crystal silicone skirt also delivers a comfortable, watertight fit against the skin. Seasoft’s Seagard semi-dry snorkel has an internal baffle system that’s designed to prevent water from entering the elliptically shaped barrel.

60:Second ScubaLab - Cressi Piuma Evolution Crystal Mask

Cressi’s popular raked-glass single-window Piuma mask is now available with Cressi’s exclusive crystal-clear silicone. This silicone creates a mask skirt that is so close to total transparency, it simply has to be seen to be believed. Even better, this super-clear silicone is hypo-allergenic, and it’s able to resist aging and yellowing better than traditional silicones. It’s also soft, so it can comfortably conform to the face for a leak-free fit.
