The strongest and
most indestructible two-window mask ever
The Atomic Aquatics SubFrame Mask is so durable, it carries a Lifetime warranty
against frame breakage. The strength comes from the internal frame (subframe)
molded directly beneath the surface of the silicone rubber skirt (patent pending).
This subframe provides incredible strength and rigidity as well as eliminating
the bulky external plastic frame in other masks. A stainless steel retainer
locks the lenses in place and provides added strength to the nose bridge area
of the mask. A wide field of view and great fit completes the combination of
function, style and durability. (US Patent #7,181,778)
Anti-Reflective Coatings
ARC Lens
Technology Elevates UltraClear To A Higher Level
Atomic Aquatics developed ARC (Anti-Reflective Coating) technology to reduce
reflected light and actually increase the amount of available light transmitted
to a diver’s eyes. The result is a greatly improved transmission of
98% of available light, compared to a loss of more than 14% of light with
standard green "float" glass used on the majority of masks on the
market.
What is ARC
lens technology?
Anti-Reflective Coatings or “ARC” is
a multi-layer metal oxide coating process applied to both
sides of the UltraClear lenses. This allows more light
to enter the mask by reducing light reflections off the
inside and outside surface of the lens. The metal oxide
coating is only a few microns thick.
Why
do you need ARC technology lenses?
Between 4-14% of light can be reflected
back or “lost” by the standard “green
float glass” mask lenses used by our competition.
ARC technology lenses are especially important for SCUBA
divers underwater, where available light is quickly absorbed
by the surrounding water.
What
is the underwater benefit of ARC for divers?
• Clearer, crisper vision.
You will see more clearly underwater and objects in the
distance will become more defined and acute.
• Increased contrast and clarity.
• Reduces eyestrain, glare, and prevents ghost images on the viewing area
of the lens.
• An absolute must for night diving, limited visibility conditions, and
underwater photographers.
