Cheers,

Ben.

Hi Ben,

The mask will be available mid-summer, at which time all further details will be released. For more information on Hollis dealers in your area please contact Russell Kitt at rjk@oceanicaus.com.au.

Thanks!

Was this a joint venture with Kirby Morgan? Or did you build your mask off their design?

We have been able to integrate the heads up (Heads down as i like to call it) display into a similar flange, much like the M-48. This has been with the help of Kirby Morgan.

Thanks,

Well done. I was just making sure they were in the loop because they have been very aggressive in the past to protect their diving equipment designs. I like the M-48 and I think I might even be interested in your setup if I can afford it. I tend to do some low vis diving now and then and your HUD would be the bomb for dives where you can't see your regular gages.

Does the system incorporate the Oceanic dive computer (deco algorythem) as well?

Muddiver,

Same algorythem currently. For those types of dives especially, this mask would prove to be very useful.

Hope you get a chance to demo one. I will keep everyone informed as to the dates.

Thanks,

any chance you'll be redesigning the mask in the near future to be somewhat more low profile?

Hi Steve,

We are always looking for ways to improve. But currently we are focusing on bringing this new mask to market.

Thanks,

Available yet?

Hi Nick,

Do you have a ship date yet? I can't seem to get a clear answer from dealers, and the distributors in Australia said they have no plans to import it anyway. As an aside do any online dealers want to sell me one?

Cheers,

Ben.
