Atomic Aquatics Venom Maske

Best Frameless Mask 2020

As a class, frameless masks tend to be lighter, offer a very small profile and therefore are lower in volume. They also offer a wider field of vision.

Throw away the thick plastic frame and attach the buckles directly to the mask skirt. As a result, the lens sits closer to your eyes, offering a broader field of vision in all directions, and with less volume, the mask is easier to clear.

They also fold flat for packing and make great backup masks, slipping flat into a BCD pocket. For all these reasons, frameless masks have become more popular than ever and companies are responding by offering a growing number of models.

Many Freedivers due to the low volume do use a frameless mask. But these masks are not only for freedivers, Snorkelers and Scuba Divers using them too.

Mask Clearing underwater

A simple and effective method for clearing a diving mask while underwater is to look down, place a finger on the top of the frame at either side, and slowly look up while exhaling through the nose. The trick is not to blow out air through your mouth, but rather to exhale everything through your nose. The increased pressure created in the mask pushes the water outwards.
