H.U.D mask

What do you think about it? I think its cool,although expensive but very cool. I would love to demo one.

I saw the mask at DEMA 2006. What a nice mask. They're going to incorporate that into their new rebreather I talked at length with them about.

I need gauge readers for my middle age eyes, yet I could see the numbers perfect with no blurring.

I saw it on the Internet for sale at some dive retailer for about $1200.

I dived Oceanic's HUD mask on New Year's Eve. I really liked it, but I didn't like it enough to shell out $1500.

I want one! Need to save my pennies

I think this one is another gimmick. Really I would rather spend 1/3 the money for a nice mask and nice computer. Or even a nice full face mask for that matter! You can get an Ocean Reef FFM for 1/2 the price of the HUD mask.

I bet in 5 years the HUD mask will have fallen through the cracks.

By the way, you can get them for a good amount less than the asking price, a few dive shops I know that has them would LOVE to get rid of them. They are not a big seller so if you are still set on getting one try to make a deal.

I think this one is another gimmick too....like We used to think of pressure guages, integrated BC...heck BC alone! I fear this is the look of the future. While I still take out my double hose Aqualung on my steel 72 with J valve from Sears, Most of the time I dive my more modern gear. Who knows 35 years from now (I was first certified 35 years ago) we may just look back fondly on the days when we used to dive with a HUD mask...remember when we thought they were a gimick now with the occular implants and gill franistaners how could we ever have used masks and Tanks!!!

The R&D on this mask was fully funded by the military, yet they said Oceanic was free to sell the product on the civilian market, otherwise, it would be a $5,000 mask. They are thinking of integrating the HUD to a CCR.

$5000?? they must be doing WAY too many drugs.

Research?? It is a stinking dive mask with a computer glued to it. Come on, they are not selling at $1200 let alone $5000.

Another typical waste of US tax dollars.

They had some tooling expense, it is nicely integrated into the mask, and I think they will sell when they come down to the price of a good computer and a mask! $800.00 +-???
