Mares Star Elite SF Mask

The Mares Star Elite SF Mask is a super low volume mask made from the softest of soft silicone. The Liquidskin is a Mares design, made from 2 types of silicone instead of the one. With a firmer silicone to support structure and a softer for comfort, this makes it 45% softer than the average standard silicone. The Star comes in all black, aimed at Spear fishing, freedivers and photographers. This is due to the fact that black silicone tunnels your vision. When doing the above sports, you are concentrating on the single item, whether you are about to spear a fish or take that single photo of a small nudibranch, you do not need to be distracted with anything else. Scuba divers will often opt for black silicone also, however, clear silicone is better for letting more light in when diving and snorkeling. The Mares star has 2 small tempered mirror glass lenses which allow better vision and perception of distance. The side clips are super strong yet flexible so are durable. Being low volume means that there is less air inside the mask when being worn. When heading underwater, you need to equalize, this means you need to equalize the air inside your mask to prevent for mask squeeze. When on scuba diving, this is easier as we have spare air to use from our tanks, however when spear fishing, you are on breathe hold so you need less air in your mask so you don’t use up too much breathe equalizing.
