ScubaPro Full Face Mask

Quick answer: This is Scubapro's professional full face mask: a compact two-window design with separate nose and mouth compartments, an ultra-wide silicone skirt and a five-point spider strap. It's built for very cold water, wrecks, caves and contaminated water, and it's meant for divers trained to use a full face mask.

Why it's worth a look

Fit is the big question with any full face mask, and Scubapro gave this one an ultra-wide skirt designed to seal on a wide range of faces. The five-point strap spreads tension around the head instead of pulling on a single band, which is more comfortable over a long dive and helps on a larger head. Breathing inside the mask keeps your face warm in cold water and protects it from whatever is in the water, which is why public-safety and commercial divers use this style.

What you get

• Two-window lens with a wide field of view in all directions
• Separate upper and lower compartments for nose and mouth
• Ultra-wide, chemically resistant silicone skirt
• Five-point spider strap with stainless steel quick-adjust, positive-lock buckles
• Mineral anti-fog treated lenses
• One-way valve with an optional alternate air source adapter
• Direct inhalation with or without the internal mouthpiece

Before you buy

Full face masks need specific training, so take a full face mask course before your first dive with it. Check compatibility, too: Scubapro notes that its A700, G260 and R195 second stages can't connect to this mask because of their mouthpiece adapter size. Have a technician set up the mask and regulator together. Read How to Fit a Dive Mask. More options: Masks for Wider Faces & Better Fit.
