Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

I am an advanced diver and recommended this mask to my brother and purchased one for myself and one for my wife. My brother's and wife's masks leaked so bad they are useless. My mask is very good. I ended up giving my brother my good back-up mask until he can replace the Genesis mask with one that does not leak.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

Nice mask, I bought 2, fit my wife perfectly, was a little small for me, fogged very easily, I could easily have used a whole tube of toothpaste on the glass. I like the tri view, I could see my buddy without having to turn my head.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

Got to clean the lense real good just before entering the water or it will fog like any Mask, just a little thoothpaste will do the trick! If you are an experinced diver you know what I mean! Other than that, this is a STEAL!!!

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

Great mask! Took a little while to get used to the side views. There like side mirrors in a car. There great for keeping an eye on your dive buddy who is swimming next to you as you look forward. I bought one for me and one for my wife. Both masks fit out faces well. They did initially fog up but after using soft scrub and tooth paste they got better. I was told this is normal for new masks.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

This is my first mask, so I don't have anything to compare it to. The large lense provides excellent visibility, but I found the side view windows provided an awkward sense of peripheral vision, and seemed to mirror things that were behind me. The fit is a little to big for my face, but that's what I get for buying something online I never tried on. The mask does fog up a lot, but its my understanding that all new masks do this. If you clean off the manufacturing residues before first use and use a good anti-fog solution, it should be fine.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

I've been wanting to replace my mask for awhile now, as my old one leaks too easily. I had doubts about buying a mask without first trying it on, but Leisure Pro's great price and the reviews convinced me to try it. The masks (my husband bought one, too) arrived two days before our trip to Cozumel. My mask was very comfortable, and I only had to clear it a couple times during the dives. My husband has a mustache, and had a little trouble with leakage.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

I am an adult male who loves to snorkel for the fun of it. I have had several different masks in the past that have been OK but this is the best yet. I was concerned because it was available in only one size but it fit my average size face perfectly. Other reviews I saw before I bought mentioned how the bent lens took some getting used to because of the distortion it caused. I noticed none of this. My version had the clear body. Along with the wrap around lens it was as if nothing was in front of my face at all. I took an old mask as an extra to the Virgin Islands with me and never even took it to the beach. This mask was not the most expensive but I can't imagine what else it could possible offer. I am afraid my mask is a bit too wide for my wife's face and could be uncomfortable trying to get it to fit tight enough. For me, though, I love it.

Service & Delivery comments:

My order arrived in good condition and actually earlier than expected. This was my first purchase from LeisurePro but I intend to buy something for my wife from here again.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

Looks great, and feels great. I wasn't sure about getting this mask until a friend bought one. It was comfortable and fit much better than my other mask. It does not leak even with facial hair; I think it was the best purchase I have made so far.

Service & Delivery comments:

Leisurepro is the best place on the web to oder from. They have the best prices and return policies. Orders come quickly and I am pleased with there services.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

My wife has had, over the years, constant fit problems with all brands of masks. We got her this one just before our trip to our home in Akumal because her current mask was leaking water. She was thrilled on her first trip into the water...no fog, no water, comfortable skirt and NO leaking!!!
After spending upwards of fifty to sixty dollars per mask, here's inexpensive perfection...great mask, great price=great diving.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

I had problems with this mask. On my first order, the mask had a tiny chip in the corner where the 2 glass pieces are joined together and it was unused and when I sent it back for an exchange, after 1 snorkel trip on the new mask the same area got chipped and I didn't hit it against anything. The chip doesn't affect the visibility that much but could pose a problem with leakage down the road. Now I might have to send this one back. If you get one with no defects it is great but if you don't you won't be happy.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

I like the wide field of vision but the sides get magnified and things appear closer than they are. This takes awhile to get used to but well worth it for the almost wrap around vision!

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

This is a good mask! This is the forth mask I have purchased from Genesis since 2000. The window gives you good range especially your peripherial vision. The onnly down side I see is the nose part is smaller than older versions. I guess to make it have a smaller profile. I would buy this again!

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

GREAT mask! I paid a lot more than what LP charges for it, though. :) I don't have anything to compare this to as it is my first mask, but I have about 10 dives on it with absolutely no problems. Its comfortable and doesn't leak (which is why I bought it at the LDS) and has a great range of view.

I'm thinking of buying an extra one at LP's price.

Comments about Genesis Genesis SM5800 Tri-View Mask:

I have been diving in northwestern PA and southwestern NY for 3 years now and I bought this mask because I was going diving in Cozumel and wanted more vision. The mask was all I had hoped for and more vision wise. The side windows actually refract/reflect the light such that you see things that are directly to your side or even slightly behind you in them and the image is slightly magnified. It took two or three dives to get used to this but once I was used to it I came to like it. I dove through a lot of tight reefs and I was able to see if I was about to hit something to my sides which I wouldn't have been able to see with my old mask.

The only problem I had was the mask seemed to fog up more easily that my old mask but I only use my saliva to keep my masks from fogging. I'm also used to diving in 34-55F water not the 80F water in Cozumel so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

Overall I am very pleased with this mask.
