I dive a Hollis M1 Low volume, Black, silicone skirt frame-less great fit. I have in my collection a Scubapro, Mares Liquid Skin, Hollis M2 and last but not least, a Sherwood. The soft nose allows for one handed equalization. I have never tried a colored lens. So no comment there. No purge on mine I’ve never needed that feature or felt that it was worth the extra bucks. I can clear and equalize quite nicely with the Hollis. Cost for one from Scubatoys is about $80.00 or so. Hope that is of some help

Had a mask issue once and the boat handed me one with rose colored lens rather than dig my back-up out of the bag. I didn’t see a difference. It would love to see someone make a mask with Transition lens that would darken on the surface :) I don’t like purge valves. Photographers and hunters seem to like black skirts but I prefer clear so I can see whats going on around me. The only mask I really hated was that 6 window Mares, besides leaks it had so much volume that when swimming on your side looking under things you could feel it trying to float up.

I have a SeaVision 2000 Rx corrective/bifocal with purge and rose tint I wouldn’t trade for anything. To purge with 1 hand use thumb and index finger to purge with 3rd or 4th finger under the purge just to give it some support. Before I learned this i popped the purge out 10 minutes into a 70’ dive. I just kept my head horizontal to gravity and purged every minute or two, finished the dive, taking pictures, and my buddies didn’t even know I had a mask problem.

Below is a link to the mask I bought over the wintere from Dive Gear Express. I love this mask. Great field of view, fits really nicely, very comfortable, and the lens just doens’t fog up. The mask the DGE sell can be fitted with a purge valve and I believe can have coloured lenses added, and have an anti-fog build into them. I just really like this one nad would recommend it to others. http://www.divegearexpress.com/essentials/doubleframeless.shtml

Thanks for the input. I was also told that the color correction lenses do not work well beyond 40’. So, I ended up buying the Mares i3 with a black skirt (which I love!) I didn’t get the purge, which is taking some getting used to. I dove off Pompano Beach this weekend and the mask was great. However, I think that before long I am going to accumulate many different masks and other redundant gear. ....Thanks

I have a Seavision with a magenta lens.
I love the mask and the magenta lens.
I get a pretty good ribbing from my friends because of the "pink" lens.

Without a doubt I love the SeaVision, have several different models and they fit just about any face with the high quality silicone.

Oh, and I’ve got a clear SeaVision and red correcting SeaVision and down here in Florida much prefer the red correcting.
