Mask Level Up!

I have finally upgraded from my 5.5 year old problue mask to a better Apollo Bio-metal Duo Mask!

I got it at a super good rate of $100 from William king, whom i got to know 5+ years back when diving with orpheus. He sold it to me second hand. haha..

Why is this mask better?
-It has very soft silicon skirting which makes it really comfortable to wear
-The soft silicon conforms to the shape of your face making it really fitting
-fitting means no leaks
-extremely low volume => easier to clear mask
-also means lens are closer to your eyes giving a wider field of view
-looking good is a bonus too!

Bad points?
I heard from him that people commented that the mask strap is too long. Not a problem for me i think.. hahah..

Anyway, William was also really kind to share with me care tips on the mask!
Tip 1: Do not Share your mask with anyone! at least initially.
This is cuz the soft outer silicon skirting actually molds to your face! so if you lend it to someone else it might not mold nicely. At least for the first 20 dives!!
Tip 2: It might leak initially cuz the mask is still trying to mold to the shape of your face! so just need to tighten it slightly initially
Tip 3: Keep the mask in the box at ALL TIMES when not in use. This is cuz the mask skirting is really very very soft! got to protect it! hahah..

Now.. if i just can find a matching snorkel.. =p
