Mares X-Vision
I have had my X-Vision's for a couple of months now and I will never look back... excuse the pun. But these masks have eXceptional vision, and the skirt is super comfortable.
When I bought the X-Vision's I was worried about the volume, but I also have a pair of Cressi Super Occio's and there is little difference. I actually find the soft skirt of X-Vision's take away any discomfort of compression. I can recommend this mask with no hesitation. - Chris Coates

Broken Handle:
Today I dived at Umdloti and Andrew Henwood was my witness. Upon loading my gun, the handle snapped, the barrel connected my collar bone and shot past my head. My spear snapped in the process and gouged me in my hand. Had this connected with my head or jaw I would never again repeat this story verbally. I will say that the handle was a picasso handle which i did buy from Free divers. I went to Shane who gladly replaced my entire gun as I bought the handle from him originally. This is customer service at its best!!!

All I can say is that

1: Never load a gun on dry land because if i had done this my collar bone would have snapped or my jaw would have been reconnected to the back of my head.

2: If you have these picasso handles, just beware! Mine was 3 years old and maybe it was just a dud. It was NOT subjected to much use as i was overseas for 2 of those years.
4: Chatting with shane, there have been a few incidents of these handles breaking and I dive with a 1.3 rail gun with a pap 20 mm rubber

Happy diving - Michael Cook
