Where are all the oval and round masks these days?

The only aquatic topic I ever think about when James Bond is mentioned is Ursula Andress emerging in her cozzie...

You are hardcore I can just picture oval mask, double hose reg, and speedos fighting off soviet agents

Happy New Year~!

-J.-

cause you probably do not have any camoflauge speedos.

...they're on eBay fetching between $600 - $800!

Holy cow! I know somebody that still dives with one of these. I've always teased him about his old freediving gear. Between that mask and his old Voit Viking fins D LOL) his gear is probably worth more than all my freeding gear put together.

I keep my oval mask on my forehead like Mike Nelson.

Suggest you may want to make your own oval or round mask.

Check out "The Mask" ;Legends of diving @ Scuba Diving and Recreation Center in Northwest Ohio - Portage Quarry.

That mask is over 60 years old and still going strong and very diveable-and homemade

There are only three remaining in the world~~Wonder what it would bring on E bay???

What a great anecdote about the half-century-old custom mask! The Zale Parry copy made very interesting reading too.

I regularly snorkel in the North Sea with a blue Britmarine rubber oval mask, sadly no longer sold new. Oval masks with skirts in colours other than black are still being manufactured, however. Here are a couple of blue models, Ixtapa and Chico, from the Mexican diving gear manufacturer Escualo Sports:



I'd love to try out these masks and a matching pair of their fins, but the company doesn't respond to my emails, even when I write in Spanish!

I think I'd rather have the Oceanic DataMask!

There are companies out there that still make them and they do not cost several hundred dollars. I can get you one for less than $80.00 give me a call. you to KGdiver.
