Brand: Atomic
Located in: Essential Equipment, Masks
The Subframe mask from Atomic Aquatics offers a high degree of strength, incredible durability, and two-frame design to give you the optimal mask on the market. The Subframe's strength is due to an ingenious internal frame that is molded directly below the silicone skirt. This design eliminates the cumbersome frame found in other dive masks, and it ensures that this mask can take whatever knocks you throw at it. In addition to the subframe, this mask has a corrosion-resistant metal frame that locks the lens in place, adding yet another layer of strength to this mask.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Subframe Mask:

Most comfortable mask I have used. I bought it because of the good reviews it received for the quality of the lens - this is true, but I was really surprised at how comfortable this lightweight soft silicone mask is. I guess it's the fit and low volume, but no mask squeeze down below 100'. I did need to scrub the lenses a few times before it completely stopped fogging up - but now it's all good. The last few dives, I didn't adjust it once, or even give it a thought under water. That's unusual!

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Subframe Mask:

i bought this after the frameless i bought prior didn't fit. that is made for some narrow faces. the first subframe i got had a tear in the skirt, so i exchanged that. the next was perfect. fit great, looks great. seems to fog up pretty quick, but i haven't used it much yet, so the film is still probably on the lens. the clarity and fov is awesome too.

Service & Delivery comments:

leisurepro has much faster shipping than i expected. everything i've ordered has arrived in only a couple days.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Subframe Mask:

This is my second Atomic Sub Frame. My first mask is still working like the day I bought it but it never hurts to have a spare. I recommend this mask to everyone, my whole family dives with this mask and to this day we have had no problems. Though this mask is relatively pricy it is worth every penny. I have a large face and my sister has a smaller face and this mask fits both perfect. I have used many other masks that have ruined dives, not this one!

Best mask I've used so far. It fits great, no leaks. The skirt is very soft - and durable. It took a couple of cleanings to keep it from fogging, but no problems now.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Subframe Mask:

I'm very pleased with the Atomic mask. Just bought it before a diving trip in carabean.
The first 3 dives it was fogging easely like other says.I Was prepare with anti-fogging cream, the rest of my week was excellent.

Nothing to compare with the Mares Liquid skin that i bougth 2 mounth ago.

For me it's like day and night, Atomic knows how to delivery excellent quality product with a profesionnel finish.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Subframe Mask:

This mask is pretty good. At first I was getting leaks but I figured I had it too tight. Once I loosen the straps a little the problem went away. Lenses are very clear and range of vision is very good. With some defog gel the lenses stayed cleared.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Subframe Mask:

This mask fits very well and is very comfortable in the water. I love it. The only problem I had was it fogged up quite a bit for the first couple of dives even after cleaning it thoroughly with toothpaste, etc. The divemaster at the shop in Roatan finally used matches to burn away the excess coating on the inner glass to stop the fogging. After that, I had no more issues with the mask and it worked perfectly.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Subframe Mask:

I swim in both freshwater and salt water. Have only tested thus far in fresh water river. Mask glass was clear and sharp, visibly much better than my previous mares x-vision mask I had. This is the first mask I've owned that has not leaked! You can tell the difference in the glass and how clear and sharp it is. Mask is pricey but was worth every penny and then some. Extremely comfortable. Mask did fog after a while, but I had forgot to pre-treat it with anti-fog in the first place!

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Subframe Mask:

I love this mask. I have a mustache and this mask seals better than the other masks I've owned.
The glass is, however, not tempered. You must use caution when cleaning it because the glass will develop micro scratches. Do not use soft scrub or any other cleaner like it. Use liquid soap only. If your dive operator offers mask cleaning as a perk, make sure that they understand that the glass is not tempered.
Atomics will, however, replace the lens if scratches do appear.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Subframe Mask:

I have a small face and owned the X-Vision Mid and X-Vision Liquidskin and both leaked on me, the leaking wasn't major and I thought all masks leak one way or the other until I try the Subframe. It fitted snugly and its construction is so solid no wonder Atomics give them lifetime warranty on it. It's one good looking mask too!

Both my wife and I dive with the Atomics mask. Just like their regs, the mask are first class. I will say the best mask is the one that fits your face best, not a brand or good looking mask.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Subframe Mask:

Very nice looking mask. The problem is the fact that the mask collapses painfully at around 10 ft. I'm not sure if this was a defective mask or if it's a design flaw. But the fit was very nice and for short, shallow dives I may keep it around.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Subframe Mask:

I love this mask! I already have 2. They are a little expensive, but worth much more! You have have to clean it a couple of extra times before wearing for the first time. I own multiple other masks, but I will never use any other again. Atomic is A++++ on their products as always!

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Subframe Mask:

This mask seems to do exactly what I need it to do. It seals better than any mask I've owned. It looks pretty cool too! Just because the mask looks good and is made by Atomics, does not mean the mask will fit everyone perfectly. This isn't "Sisterhood of the Traveling Mask". Make sure that it fits your face correctly. I have at least 30 dives logged with this mask and I have had zero complaints.

Comments about Atomic Atomic Aquatics Subframe Mask:

The mask seemed well made but after approx 15 dives the rubber started separating from the lens frame in front of the strap attachments on both sides. This lead to a massive leak. I do not recommend this mask for anyone. What a disappointment from Atomic.
