Linda,
Your advice in selecting the right lens combination for my prescription mask was perfect, and the craftsmanship was terrific. It has been over a year and the lenses are still clear and flawless.
I'll be back to you.
Thank you,

Hi,

I just wanted to thank you for changing out my leaky mask again. You are so prompt and courteous and I even got the black framed mask I asked for. And you wouldn't even take my check for shipping! Thanks for your great service and I always mention your company when anyone asked where I got my prescription mask. I'm sure I'll be doing more business with you.

Hi,

You did a great job on my mask, and did it quickly and at a fair price. You've certainly fulfilled your commitment --and extended the life of my mask to keep up with my eyes.

Hi Lisa:

The masks and snorkels arrived today. They are gorgeous and the prescriptions are perfect - what a thrill to look through a top flight snorkel mask and be able to see what you're looking at! Thanks so much for taking care of us. My wife thinks they are really neat as well - you can imagine how much we are looking forward to this trip. This morning, it was 20 degrees below (and I'm not talking wind chill).

So, thanks again (also for the goodies - the first time anyone ever sent us lollipops). We'll put your stickers on the mask cases - hopefully we'll send you some business from the British West Indies.

I just wanted to thank you for the great work that you do. Got the second mask that I've done this year back from you and it is just great. You are truly able to fit a lens in every mask and do fast work. Thanks - it is so nice to see clearer in the water especially when I surface looking for where my exit is on the shore. So glad I found you on the Web.

Linda:

Thanks so much for the great service!!! My UPS man just showed up with our masks... and they're prefect! We will leave Wednesday morning for our dive trip and can't wait to "see" our gauges.

We look forward to seeing you both at Beneath The Sea next year.

Again our sincere appreciate for the fast turnaround.

TO LISA LADD:

I have had MS for 24 years now.

Bicycling used to be my sport of choice. But as my body took a nose dive into a wheelchair, I took a dive into snorkeling. Lisa has been my angel for many years now, introducing me to your superb products.
But more importantly, she has become a long distance friend, epitomizing what is right with the world! Thank you Prescription Dive Masks & Lisa for your outstanding customer service!

I just wanted to thank you for the special "Executive Gauge Readers" you put on my 2 dive masks. I was impressed you did a "mini-consulation" and asked what my optical needs were and then advised me on what has worked well for other underwater imagers. Every other gauge readers I have previously used were too small and could only be looked at through using one eye at a time.
With your readers, now, for the first time in years I can use both eyes when looking slightly down from a horizontal sightline and see my external HD video monitors. I no longer have to turn my head to the side and use just one eye through a tiny reader looking for macro critter subjects or at my monitor.
The benefits of being able to use both eyes simultaneously and see through your unique style of readers designed specifically for underwater imagers cannot be overstated. Now when HD videotaping subjects like tiny bobtail squid or skeleton shrimp, both of which are about the size of this text, I can see them and videotape them using both eyes seeing clearly.
You guys are awesome!

QUESTION:

I have been diving and snorkeling with my perscription glasses wired to the outside of my mask for as long as I can remember. I lost that setup on Bonaire this January. I would like to get really large (about 2.75" w X 1.75" h or larger) +3 diopter stick on lenses.

Anyone know where I can get these?
REPLY:
I have not heard anything good about stick on lenses.....they are usually too small and don't stay in place, fall off and get lost/damaged or don't have a strong enough diopter.
Many of us pro photographers and filmmakers use custom made magnification diopters that are permanently optically bonded to the lower inside half of the mask by a company called Prescription Dive Masks.


We use "executive gauge readers" style magnification diopters which are great not only for us with middle aged eyes, but are of benefit to anyone looking for macro critters.
You either tell them what mask you want and they supply it with the gauge readers bonded in place on the inside, or you supply the mask, pick the shape and size of the magnification diopter you want, and most importantly, use masking tape on a horizontal line to tell them how high up you want the horizontal plane top of the reader to go, and they will do all the rest. What pro photogs/filmmakers prefer is the gauge reader to go up JUST under the pupil centerline. That way as you are swimming/looking around, you look out through the normal part, the second you look as something closer, you look ever so slightly downwards moving your eyes.
I always take 2 rigged masks on each expedition as I can't see my gauges or housing controls worth beans without them and I have had masks get lost and broken, so on an International adventure is the wrong time to scrimp on having a backup masks.Keep in mind +3 is fairly thick, so be careful with the new style of some ultra low volume masks where the glass is REALLY close to your eyes as I have had a mask where the gauge readers at +2.5 tickled my eyelashes and that is really annoying.

Hey Chris!
We got back from our trip late on Wednesday night ... Just wanted to let you know our masks worked perfectly! It's amazing to SEE what we've been missing! Several people on the trip asked us where we got them done, so you may hear from some of them soon!
Again, thank you for working with us on getting these done!
I hope the show went well!
Take care!

     Chris,

I'm addressing this to you because you were the one I dealt with. I received
my prescription mask this past Thursday(as promised) and I am absolutely
thrilled! The attention to detail was impressive to say the least. As a
professional diver of 35 plus years, I have never seen better craftsmanship. I
was thrilled with the service and the workmanship before I ever dove the mask.
Well........I dove it today and I have to say, I'm even more satisfied.

     The mask performs flawlessly. I have to say that my dive mask is now
better than my prescription eyeglasses! I was even thinking about wearing it to
watch television, but my wife thought I was crazy! The lenses are exceptional! I
don't brag about things without good reason and your product is the most
exceptional that I have seen in years. I will be recommending your company to my
many colleagues and friends in the diving industry and to  my students as
well(PADI IDCS 80104, IANTD IT 124)

     I almost forgot to mention that it is very rare these days to have
someone do exactly what they say they are going to do, and you accomplished that
as well! The mask arrived when it was promised. I am obviously very impressed
and just wanted to thank you very much for an awesome product. If you would like
me to write a testimonial for your company, I would consider it an honor .

Thanks again so much,

Keith Simmons

Dear Prescription Dive Masks,
I wanted to thank you for the great job you did on my mask, and within my
very tight timeline. I love diving with my new lens. It works perfectly,
and because I am used to my lasik monovision, I had absolutely no problem
adjusting to just one prescription lens. I am so happy and could not have
asked for more. You are the best.
Sincerely,
Teri Scarpino

Subject: Thanks!!!! After a 27yr layoff from being in the water I can now enter it with confidence. Recently my wife and I grew an interest in snorkeling. After finding a local dive shop we liked we inquired about a r/x mask. They knew just who to send my mask to "Prescription Dive Mask" .
The first day out I was amazed at the clarity that I now had underwater. After a 3hr trip we called it a day. We both had such a good time sharing the underwater world together that we have several more trips planned in the coming months. I most offer up my greatest THANK YOU to Presription Dive Mask. I will recommend you to everyone I know.
Yours Truly Jeff Rector

HI Chris
Just wanted to let you know that the mask arrived safely today to great
excitement! It fits perfectly and we went and tried it in the swimming pool
straight away. Henry loves it and all 3 kids loved the lollies you sent in
the box too. I'm sure our holiday will be a great success now he is able to
come snorkelling too.
Thanks so much. A great service.
Kind regards
Helena Wallace
