Mares Lirica Mask

Advantages: Leak free, looks good
Disadvantages: None!

...First things first - the actual name of the product is: Mares Lirica Tech Black! Not that I'm trying to be difficult - but I thought I'd be accurate! I was looking for a mask which fitted me well without the need to perform a power inhale just to get it to fit my face: this mask fits the bill perfectly. I actually discovered the Lirica range whilst flicking through the Mares catalogue and thought that it looked like a stylish bit of kit to own... oh like so many divers, don't I base my decisions on the most important aspects! Anyway, having gained an interest in it, I obviously wanted to try it for fit - so, a couple of days later - at the NEC dive show, I tried on a foul looking yellow version and asked the people at the stall if they had the tech black... to which I was replied "sorry mate, they don't make it in black" - hmmm, having...

Unlike other masks, this one also comes with additional vision panels which give... Read review

...The Mask is a comedy made in 1994 and was part of the trifecta (the others being "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and "Dumb & Dumber") that propelled Jim Carrey from unknown to superstar. It also made a star of another unknown actor, this time being Cameron Diaz. Jim Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss, a bank clerk and a really nice guy. But, he is a bit of a pushover and never really stand up for himself. After a particularly bad day, he stumbles upon a mask, that he finds out depicts Loki, the Norse god of mischief. When he puts on the mask, he turns into a green faced, wacky, snappy dresser! He's confident, romantic and not afraid to fight for what he believes in, so you could say he just brought out what Stanley is really like inside himself. So, together with his dog, Milo, they go out and paint Edge City red! Well, green really. This... Read review
