Floss and regular picking, but still no joy!

Seriously though, tried that prior to using it the first time and 2nd, 3rd, 4th (1 time past slinging it) then stowed it away and reverted to the cressi.

you must have pretty big pockets! &nbsp;

Seac Sub do one called the X Wide - very similar to a Visualator but only 35 or so quid.

Maybe worth a try if you can track one down.

How are people still finding these?

I want a new mask and having a huge head and fat face, these seem to fit superbly, but then that all do in the warm dry lds

Might pick one up at the dive show, but would like to know if they are OK or fall apart once they get wet a few times.

Mine coped with about four years of abuse. I've now relegated it to pool use only, it's a bit leaky after an incident involving sitting on it while wearing a twinset

I've switched to an oceanic shadow ice for both my main and backup masks - they actually give just as good a field of vision as the visualator, but are much much neater.

I picked one up at LIDS08 and managed a couple of dives in it last weekend and never had a leak.

It gave a lovely wide and deep field of view and is so big it covered even more of my face keeping cold water away from it.

Because the lense comes so low, It was a bit harder to get my fingers in my lobster mitts to the nose pocket to equalise, but I managed OK. That seems to be the only downside so far.

So it sertianly seem suitable for people with big heads
