Advantages: Leak free, looks good Disadvantages: None!
First things first - the actual name of the product is:
MaresLirica 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 ...
Advantages: Adjustable lenses for short-sight, peripheral vision panels Disadvantages: Overpriced, cheaper alternatives available, awkward to adjust
♣♣♣ Introduction ♣♣♣
I know the waters around the U.K. aren't exactly conducive to diving for a lot of the year, being decidedly cool and murky, but there really are very few reviews on Ciao for diving-related products.

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 ...
