I just purchased a brand new Poseidon Full Face Mask and am very disappointed. I'm an experienced scientific diver and have been in the industry for many years. My father went through one of the first LA County Dive Instructor Courses.
My brand new Poseidon Atmosphere Full Face Mask came with a bent servo right out of the box. Poseidon charged me $60 in labor to repair a brand new almost $1000 piece of equipment that was faulty.
The Poseidon Atmosphere's mask straps are plastic and very fragile.
Also, while Poseidon tries to imply that the Positive Pressure regulator is based on their old proven Jetstream: this is FALSE. While it may look like a Jetstream it is a completely different regulator.
DO NOT BUY A POSEIDON ATMOSPHERE! In over thirty years in the business I've never been treated worse by a SCUBA manufacturer.
They have such a loyal reg following I'm surprised at the shoddy workmanship, I can see the benefits however after witnessing two friends throw up in their full face masks I was put off for life however if you need comms then they are a must have.
As one of those readers that have never heard of or experienced this mask you need to explain all its good points and also its bad to produce a balanced review. Fionaxx
