Did you ever wonder why all the good spear fishermen wear only dark rubber masks? Clear silicone can create reflections on the inside of the lens from surface light distracting the hunters focus on the prey. Real hunters wear black. Small internal volume maskspecifically designed for spear fishing. The buckles are positioned directly on the skirt, greatly reducing the total weight of the mask and allowing greater hydrodynamics. Optical lenses can be purchased separately. The mask is available in the classic black silicone, black body version and also in the models Med Mimetic, Ocean Mimetic and the new Brown Mimetic.

Comments about Omersub OmerSub "Alien" Spearfishing & Diving Mask.:

#1 - this is not a SCUBA mask - it is specifically designed as a low-volume free-diving mask, with spearfishing in mind (where the ability to focus on a target is more important than wide field of view in many cases).

#2 - The seal on this mask is very flexible and works wonderfully. I have a narrow face, and have had trouble in the past with getting masks to fit well. Not so with the Alien!

#3 - Two things to keep in mind:

1) If you have a larger than average nose (mine is long, not broad) you may get some nose cramping in this mask - the pocket for the nose is not generous.

2) When you take it out of the box, SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB the inside with toothpaste until it won't fog any more. If you don't do this, it will fog badly because of manufacturing residue left on the glass. The procedure: wet the inside of the glass, use finger to scrub in a circular motion, concentrating on a particular area. Rinse. Breathe into mask and look for fogging. Repeat scrubbing in areas that are still fogging. Repeat until no more fogging. If you do this, you will only need a quick spit in each lens before diving and you will be good to go.

Comments about Omersub OmerSub "Alien" Spearfishing & Diving Mask.:

this mask is the best mask i have ever owned but let you be warned, if you see a 10 foot shark. 20 feet away in a normal mask it will look look like 10 feet
but with the excellent magnification on the omer mask it will look about 20 feet long which will give you a scare.

Comments about Omersub OmerSub "Alien" Spearfishing & Diving Mask.:

by far the most comfortable mask i have used; and I have used many for almost 2 decades of diving and over a thousand hours UW. The silicone (i bought the plain black) is the softest and the fit is excellent (i have an average shaped face). Good field of view despite super low volume; far better than my classic superocchio free-diving mask.

Comments about Omersub OmerSub "Alien" Spearfishing & Diving Mask.:

Give the lenses a once-over with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (inside and out) and no more fogging! A good spit in the mask is all that's needed at that point. Don't try the eraser with a poly-carbonate lens (only glass!) as it will scratch it up pretty bad.

Bottom Line:

Comments about Omersub OmerSub "Alien" Spearfishing & Diving Mask.:

I'm not experienced in any sense of the word but sent the mask back. The field of vision is very poor and it just seemed very small. I would feel pretty nervous in the water with so many blind spots. I've heard people say that it's a wonderful mask. Again, I'm no expert, just my initial opinion.

Comments about Omersub OmerSub "Alien" Spearfishing & Diving Mask.:

I have used this mask twice while freediving in a local quarry. Easy to clear, great field of vision, snug fit. Also, I am overly attached to my facial hair. I was able to get a good seal even with my moustache. Two thumbs up!

Comments about Omersub OmerSub "Alien" Spearfishing & Diving Mask.:

I am mainly a freediver, have had good experience with it so far. The side strap holder snapped but it was due to a student over tightening it and a piece of mono has worked in its place for 6 months just fine.

Comments about Omersub OmerSub "Alien" Spearfishing & Diving Mask.:

So comfortable and yet so close to your face which makes your visibility excellent. Also the shape and angle of the lens is a lot like the cressi big eyes which gives you a super wide range of view. The opaque skirt also helps block out backligt making it easier to focus on your subject. Lightweight, low profile, and basically frameless. The memitic is also great for spearing.

Comments about Omersub OmerSub "Alien" Spearfishing & Diving Mask.:

When I pulled these things out of the box, I was floored. I haven't used a mask (nor been in open water) in years so I was used to masks back in the mid 90's. This mask is EXTREMELY lightweight. I think that 90% of the weight comes from the lens. The skirt is super thin which is a good thing as it gives it excellent flexibility. The skirt material is really soft which makes it fit really well. I bought the mask for some snorkeling in the Keys and I was not dissappointed, neither will you ;-)
