Pro Underwater Photographer Review XDEEP Frameless Mask

[@elizabethmisner4636]

I also dive with a Hollis M1 with the same issue of the mask ring - I otherwise love my M1 but am looking for a new mask for this reason and have been looking at the XDeep. So your review was extra helpful for me!

[@MaximeCheminade]

I am really happy to hear you liked the review! I will try to do more in the very near future.

Been using the Xdeep mask for a while, absolutely love it

[@CopyRightJT]

Thank you very much for that review Maxime.

[@MaximeCheminade]

My pleasure!

After seen your review, I went and bought one 2 weeks ago. and yesterday after about 25 dives, I've found 2 tear spots on the skirt. I have no idea what could caused them. I have Tusa HD, Halcyon H-view, SP frameless, Gull, none of them had this problem. Just wanna ask how is yours doing after all these time. Do you have any quality issue with this mask? thanks

[@MaximeCheminade]

So far nothing. Mine has not seen anything like this. Maybe ask their customer service? I cant see this as normal

After I was introduced to XDeep's frameless mask a couple of years ago, my long-serving Scubapro frameless and Hollis M1 masks instantly became backup masks. The comfort, vision and perfect seal of XDeep's frameless mask are, in my humble opinion, supreme. Best mask I've ever had the pleasure to dive with. I have a wide face and this mask just delivers. Not a single drop of water has managed to get inside. Given it's sold at a midrange price I feel I get a lot of bang for my bucks. And no, I'm certainly not paid and/or instructed to promote XDeep's products. I'm just a regular recreational diver who has paid for every single item of my equipment. I just think that XDeep deserves praise as a great and very innovative dive equipment company...

I absolutely love mine, and that mask has become my (and most of my colleagues) go to.

Great review Max 👏🏼

[@MaximeCheminade]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Maxime! Does your xdeep mask still fog? Mine still fogs very much after 10 dives, despite prepping it (burn/toothpaste)

[@MaximeCheminade]

It doesnt anymore, but i always use some soap before going for a dive.

[@ekjellgren]

Ordered one, don't like it since my eyelashes touched the glass. What do I try next?

[@MaximeCheminade]

I'd say the Hollis M1 is still great. But they had a change in production, and the glass is different than the old “Saint Gobain crystal” and the new one isn't as good as the old. Beuchat also has a great mask (maxlux)

[@ekjellgren]

@@MaximeCheminade I've been suggested Apeks VX1, have you tried that?

[@MaximeCheminade]

@ekjellgren i haven't unfortunately.

[@LINKONE17]

@@ekjellgrenhi buddy :) I do own a vx1 and I’m actually looking for a replacement mask. I’ve done around 110 dives with it and it’s always mix feelings, either super good sealing on my face or super bad. I’ve had couple of fogging issues but burning it and prepping it with soap did the tricky perfectly, for my face/shape it just doesn’t seal and leaks water almost every other dive which is super annoying. I’ve tried it with long beard, trimmed beard but still doesn’t give me consistency. I will buy this xdeep and see if it fits me better and use the Apeks as a back up. On my opinion is not worth the price tag 🏷️ hope this help.
