The Oceanic DataMask

[Capt.Chase]

Aloha Gear Trippers I just recently aquierd the Oceanic DataMask and i love it.Its going to take some time to get used to it. The only down fall is the first few times you use it you want to stare at the LCD screen and it kind of throw you off. and there is a side window that acts as a side and rear view mirror of sorts, kind of disorienting If your not use to it but easy to overcome. It is a wireless, air innagrated built in to the mask computer. Looks a little bulky but balanced perfactly. Here are some other spects any other questions you may have let me know and I'll Help you out.




In-mask Digital Optic System provides a clear, highly magnified image of the LCD, which is viewable regardless of environmental conditions and may be seen clearly by the vast majority of people, regardless of vision
Allows “Hands-Free Diving” for greater convenience, enjoyment and safety during the dive



Wireless Air Integrated Technology with patented Air Time Remaining Algorithm
Audible Alarms with User Acknowledgment
Adjustable backlight intensity may be set on the surface or underwater, allowing the user to fine-tune display so that it is easily readable, yet not distracting
Advanced User Settings & Options
Diver Replaceable Batteries

Looks bitchin. How's the mask for clearing and how hydro-dynamic is it in surge? You said it was balanced well but does it feel heavy at all in the water if you're used to a low-profile mask?

[Capt.Chase]

In the water no it dose not feel heavy. And a am used to a low profile mask too but i had no prob with it. Like anything it takes time to get use to. in surge it handles fine . And the seal on the face is th best i have ever felt. And clearing is no prob two fingers to the top of the mask, tilt head at 45 degree angle and blow.
