    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?

    come on a white mask. You'll look as "cool" as any guy that has white framed glasses. Not like Mr smiley face sporting the black glasses.

    well, the diving in israel is pretty good, got quite a few wrecks in the medeteranian sea deep and shallow. new and old.

    In the Red SEa we have lots to see regarding u/w life, a few wrecks also, the corals and marine life are wonderful here. though has been a decline in past few years.... from Eilat, northern Gulf of Aqaba, one can go dive in Jordan, Egypt, Sinai and even Saudi if one has the right connections.
    the Red SEa is wonderful. both under the cover of night aswell.
    Diving conditions are very very good, reletavely quiet sea in the gulf, ELiat or Aqaba, god vis, great life, night life is good. lots to see also.

    thats it basically.

    i highly recommend

    Well, one Japanese company manufactures traditional full-foot fins in a wide range of colours, among them white:

    And, on the mask front, the choice doesn't have to be black or white. Blue-skirted masks are available too nowadays:

    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...
