From what I understand, free diving masks are just generally superior to normal masks, mainly in that the volume is less and equalizing is easier? So why do scuba divers not all use free diving masks?
Yes, freediving masks do have lower volumes - but you also lose some field of vision due to the mask sitting closer to your face. In freediving, especially competitively - you don't need too great of FOV as you are following markings in a pool for dyn or a line for depth. I find it also helps to focus more without having things off to the side distract me. You can absolutely use freediving masks for scuba - I've used the minima and sphera and others plenty - however scuba masks offer a bit more field of vision.
