Mask Advice!

[lottie]

I've used both....black is easier to prevent browning, as you dont' see it, but I prefer the clear silicone masks.

Guys are into the all black thing, this stems from their historical preoccupation with being "The Black Knight", who always defeats his foes.

Isn't the black knight supposed to be the "bad man", while the white knight is on the side of good and be the hero to save the fair maiden????

Well, it is not like guys would wear white fins, white exposure suits, white masks......a guy like that would not be interested in any fair maiden only other knights.

As to Browning, silicone masks can discolor.

For that matter, I don't know anyone that would wear a white mask, white fins, and a white exposure suit.

Does anyone even make a white exposure suit. I know Whites makes dry suits, but that is only the name and not the color.

Only in West Hollywood!

Thanks lottie, it shows how easy it is to go off on a tangent away from diving. Apart from if you were an albino I think you would have to be extremely secure in your masculinity to get decked out in all white clobber. To I divechick never having the pleasure of going to west hollywood I'll take yor word on that one.

Clear silicone masks are uncomfortable for me when teaching in the shallows or in the pool.
i prefer the low volume black silicone masks.

Thanks for your input Daniel, what is the diving like in Israel? Is it famous for anything?

OK, well I like the one for a woman, but definately not for a man! It does not look too good in my opinion. BUT I still think white is not the best choice, I can't imagine it staying white for long on a dirty dive boat or in the murky silt of a quarry or whatever. Maybe for a celeb. who is going to wear it once and never again, ok.

I heard that once you go black, they don't let you go back...
