Oceanic Shadow Single Window Mask image
 
(based on 35 ratings)
Brand: Oceanic
Located in: Essential Equipment, Masks
It's a mere Shadow of a mask; lightweight and low volume, with a soft, comfortable, hypoallergenic black silicone skirt. Because there is no frame, theShadow's single lens sits close to the face, offering an unusually wide field of view. Also because there is no frame, the mask folds into a neat package small enough to slip into a BC pocket, making it an easy to carry as a back-up.
The black silicone skirt eliminates light coming in from the sides, which means the Shadow is an excellent mask for hunters and photographers who need to see, well, in the shadows.
The Shadow mask has buckles that swivel and are easy to adjust, allowing a custom fit. It is available in two sizes suitable for a wide range of faces.

Now includes a Neoprene Comfort Strap

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Shadow Single Window Mask:

This is a great mask to use for tech diving. I have two with the black skirt. I never get the glare that happens with the clear skirt masks, and its small enough to keep as a backup in your thigh pocket. I have used it in water as cold as 35 degrees and it's never fogged up. The mask strap is neoprene, but I do recommend replacing it with one that has velco adjustments.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Shadow Single Window Mask:

WOW is all I can say. I've been diving/free diving for 22 years and never have I enjoyed a mask so much. The lens is so crystal clear plus the wide range of view... it's like watching a national geographic show every time I dive. Phenomenal fit without any leakage, super comfortable strap, and I love the swivel attachment. Does not fog if you spit in it before it touches the water! Seriously, it stays clear the whole dive.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Shadow Single Window Mask:

Although I have not taken the mask diving yet it is already my favorite. I used to used a Sphera from aqua sphere until I found out it was only tested to 30 ft., so I decided that since I had just enough money [$] I would go buy one at a dive shop called N-Depth Scuba, there the mask was only [$]!!! When I tried on face in the shop it and the mini both fit amazingly, but I went with the bigger. WhenI took it in our pool I was in awe because the vision was sooooo much better than my sphera.P.S: for the snorkler who said it fogged too much. That is probably because you constantly stuck your head in and out of the water which messes with the air temp. that has been sealed in the mask compared to the outsided water temp.

As an instructor, I highly recommend this mask. The liquid filled silicone skirt is the key to making this mask probably one of the best masks on the market. Approximately 90% of all my students have had success with this mask whether a basic diver or advance. This is the mask to choose !

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Shadow Single Window Mask:

It's probably a knock off, or simply was 'treated' wrong in production, but this mask I bought from Leisure Pro fogs like crazy. I've been advised to clean it a few more times (have done it 7 times with toothpaste, sand and vinegar)and make sure that the entire mask face seal is soaked/washed in hot water to remove any left over production residue.

Service & Delivery comments:

Leisure Pro is competent and fast. I did not return the mask to Leisure Pro as it's useful to demo Oceanic's lack of quality assurance to other divers.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Shadow Single Window Mask:

this goggle fit well and had an excellent view range to the sides. it did fog up quite a bit while snorkeling around hawaii ( i cleaned numerous times and used anti fog gunk) i admit i am new to this so there may be someway to get it to not fog that i have not tried.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Shadow Single Window Mask:

Soft skirt seals great and is comfortable, low volume reduces mask squeeze, frameless lens being closer to eyes gives very good field of vision.
When new, lens tends to fog easily even after several cleanings with toothpaste, but gets better with usage.

In 21 years of diving I've dived a lot of masks. The Shadow is the *best* mask I've ever dived. The one piece lens and flexible frame make for an awesome low volume mask. Fit and quality are excellent. And, it comes with a neoprene comfort strap. I like it so well I'm going to buy another one. This mask is like Scubapro jet fins -- can't be beat! [...]

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Shadow Single Window Mask:

This is a great mask, once you get it to stop fogging up. You have to SCRUB it with toothpaste several times (5-6) before it will stay clear. All the same, it's worth the effort. This mask is a breeze to clear because it has such low volume. It's small enough to go inside a fin pocket, which is where I pack it when I travel!

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Shadow Single Window Mask:

I have logged 72 dives with them since purchasing 2 of these masks. My face is somewhat narrow, and this model fits well, and is reasonably leak free with very little strap tension. Its comfort makes it very unobtrusive. The only mask I've owned with a comparable downward field of vision is the Mares ESA, which has significantly greater volume and a larger profile. The upward vision (for those who dive in a heads down attitude) is the best I've ever used. Lateral vision is also excellent. The neoprene headstrap included from the factory is a nice bonus. The frameless design has done well in a pocket as a backup mask with no perceptible deformation of the skirt. Fogging depends entirely on water conditions and what you do to your mask predive.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Shadow Single Window Mask:

I bought the clear skirted mask and wish it had been black instead. Otherwise it works great. No leaks. Comfortable. Adjustments easily and adjustments stay put. I have not had many masks to compare with it (4-5 perhaps), as I have only owned a few masks in my life. Still this one is by far the best, with a nice wide view. My only con is that it fogs slightly like every other mask I have owned (but I can still see OK even when it fogs). [$]

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Shadow Single Window Mask:

For some reason this mask is not right for my face. Very soft skirt and I love the look and feel of the mask. The mask leaks though. It must not be right for my face. I have an oval face and it does not fit right "unfortunately". I do not recommend this mask for wide or oval faces.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Shadow Single Window Mask:

I bought this mask when I first started diving. It fit my face like a glove and I rarely have to deal with it leaking. I barely have the strap cinched down and it still stays on my face. Because it has such a low volume, it is easy to clear. I bought a second one just to have a back up. The first strap finally gave way after 250-300 uses.
