Help choosing a mask with maximum UP visibility

[htatton]

Hi Everyone,

I'm 72 years old and have arthritis in my neck that limits my ability to look up. I find this is a pain (literally) on my dives. To see forward I need to tilt my whole body up to about 35 degrees.

Does anyone know of a mask that allows good vision UP. I need to maximize the amount I see out of the top of my mask so I can see forward while being streamlined in the water.

Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks, Hyrum

very low volume masks, preferably frameless will give you the best chance.
SCUBA Diving Equipment for Technical, Sidemount, Rebreather, Wreck and Cave Diving: Dive Rite, Inc - Product Catalog - ES155 Mask that type will work. Unfortunately you have to try a bunch on to see what works

I have one of those and like it a lot. I also like my Atomic Frameless for the UP vision. The Frameless 2 looks like it "should" have more up vision. I tried one on and thought it did, but it's a little big for my taste.

Give this mask a try. You will love it or I will accept a return. It is a low volume mask, which means that the faceplate is very close to your eyes. The closer the glass is to your eyes, the less restriction in visibility.
