See the Ocean Like Never Before — MaskOptix Featured in PADI®

A Shared Mission for Clearer, Safer Diving

MaskOptix® is proud to be featured in a special PADI® promotional spotlight—a collaboration that highlights our shared commitment to helping divers see the underwater world with unmatched clarity and confidence.

This feature recognizes MaskOptix as an innovator in prescription diving eyewear, bridging the gap between safety, comfort, and performance for both recreational and professional divers.

Disclosure: This feature was part of a sponsored promotional collaboration with PADI®, the world’s leading scuba diving organization.

Why Clear Vision Matters Underwater

Every dive depends on what you can see. Whether you’re a new diver exploring coral reefs, a rescue diver conducting precision searches, or a commercial professional performing underwater inspections, visual clarity directly impacts performance and safety.

That’s why MaskOptix developed a groundbreaking solution: prescription eyeglasses you can wear inside your dive mask or helmet—without breaking the seal.

The Innovation Behind MaskOptix

Our patented eyewear design allows divers to use their exact prescription, including astigmatism and multifocal corrections, directly underwater. No more contact lenses, glued inserts, or visibility compromises.

Key Features:

• Vacuum-deposited anti-fog coating for clear, fog-free dives

• Secure over-the-ear hooks to keep frames in place under any condition

• Lightweight, low-profile design that fits comfortably under full-face masks and helmets

• Optional polarized lenses to reduce glare and enhance underwater contrast

With MaskOptix Diving Prescription Eyeglasses, you’ll experience seamless visual transition from land to sea—perfect for both everyday wear and professional dive applications.

Trusted by Professionals Worldwide

Originally designed for U.S. Navy submariners and commercial divers, MaskOptix eyewear has proven itself in the world’s toughest underwater environments.

Our EAB-17 frame model, considered standard issue for over a decade, maintains perfect mask seal integrity while providing sharp near and distance vision for reading gauges, performing welds, and completing detailed inspections.

“The design is lightweight, sleek, and exceptionally comfortable both underwater and at the surface,” says Dr. Larry Tarrant, optometrist and Open Water Scuba Instructor. “Even during mask removal drills, I experienced zero leakage and no fogging—truly remarkable performance.”

PADI’s Promotional Spotlight: Innovation Meets Exploration

Being part of a PADI® promotional feature means more than visibility—it reflects a shared mission to empower divers through education, safety, and cutting-edge gear.

Through this collaboration, PADI and MaskOptix aim to raise awareness of vision solutions that enhance diver confidence, performance, and safety across every dive environment.

See More, Dive Better

Unlike traditional inserts that sit far from the eyes, MaskOptix frames position lenses closer to your pupils—offering a wider field of view and more natural visual alignment.

That means fewer visual distortions, reduced eye strain, and a more immersive experience beneath the surface.

Whether you’re exploring deep wrecks, welding underwater structures, or documenting coral health, MaskOptix ensures your vision stays crystal clear.
