Advantages: Keeps Face Warm Disadvantages: Poor Product - no customer support
...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.

Advantages: Adjustable lenses for short-sight, peripheral vision panels Disadvantages: Overpriced, cheaper alternatives available, awkward to adjust

Advantages: Leak free, looks good Disadvantages: None!
...name of the product is:
Mares Lirica Tech Black! Not that I'm trying to be difficult - but I thought I'd be accurate!

(bottom rule... customer knows best!)
The mask is great - it fits and even after an hour underwater it's still perfectly comfortable, and of course... the biggest issue, it looks pretty sexy too - nicely matching the array of black and silver kit I've been collecting! I've been using it solidly ...
Light weight, Good user interface, Low maintenance. (*)
