Best Scuba Diving Masks for 2025

When it comes to choosing a scuba diving mask, you’re spoilt for choice.

With endless brands all offering a range of masks which they deem to be the best, it can be hard to sort the good from the bad.

Thankfully, we’ve compiled a list of what we believe to be this year’s best offerings, including brands such as TUSA, SCUBAPRO, Cressi and Mares. Read on to find out more about each offering, including the different fits, lens types and technologies used by the brands.

Best scuba diving masks for 2025

TUSA Freedom Ceos Mask

The TUSA Freedom Ceos Mask is the natural successor to the brand’s entry-level Splendive mask, with a similar fit and design. It retains the classic look of the cheaper Splendive model, but has a more robust feel and more advanced features.

These features include:

• Double window teardrop design: The large lenses on the Ceos mask are designed to give you as much vision as possible when you’re underwater. The teardrop design gives you increased downward visibility, providing a greater field of view.
• Freedom Technology: TUSA Freedom Technology enhances the fit and feel of the mask, designed to feel as though you’re not even wearing one. It does so with its dimpled skirt surface, varied silicone thicknesses and stability ridges.
• 3D mask strap: TUSA’s 3D mask strap fits against the head’s natural curvature, providing comfort whatever your head shape. This is a vast improvement on many other mask straps, which are often flat and rigid.
• Quick-adjust buckle: Nobody wants to be dealing with a complicated buckle system before they set off for a dive. The Freedom Ceos mask’s quick-adjust buckle system makes it easy for you to adjust the mask’s tightness while on the go.

If your main priority when buying a mask is general comfort, the TUSA Freedom Ceos mask is worth your consideration. It’s highly adjustable and well-padded, meaning you’ll hardly feel it on your face when wearing it.

SCUBAPRO Synergy 2

The SCUBAPRO Synergy 2 mask’s greatest strength is its large dual-lens design, providing its users with a wide field of vision. In fact, the size and clarity of the lenses makes this mask an ideal option for underwater photographers, as well as recreational divers.

The lenses provide exceptional clarity, with no distortion and excellent depth perception, setting you up for truly immersive dives.

The SCUBAPRO brand has become synonymous with comfort, having implemented its trademark Trufit technology into the Synergy 2 mask. Here is what Trufit has to offer:

• Dual skirts: The Synergy 2 mask has two silicone skirts that create a tight, but not restrictive feel. The inner skirt is soft for comfort, while the outer skirt is firm to create added support for the mask.
• Ribbed texture: Trufit technology is easily identifiable due to its ribbed texture. This ribbing helps the silicone to be flexible, allowing for a more comfortable fit.
• Appropriate fit: Trufit technology makes the Synergy 2 mask very adaptable, providing an appropriate fit no matter the shape of your head. Such versatility adds to the universal appeal of the mask.

SCUBAPRO’s Synergy 2 mask may not be the cheapest option, but its versatility, size of lens and clarity of vision make it worth the investment.

Cressi Big Eyes Evolution

As its name suggests, the Cressi Big Eyes Evolution mask is made with the intention of giving you the largest underwater field of view possible. It does so with its Cressi patented dropped lenses which increase downward visibility by 30%.

While the lenses are large, the mask won’t feel cumbersome when it’s on your head. That’s because Cressi has implemented its High Seal technology, which is both lightweight and comfortable. High Seal silicone also keeps the mask feeling comfortable for longer, without leaving marks on your skin.

The softness of the silicone also means that the mask suits a range of sizes, appropriate for those who require a larger fit. This is a running theme among other Cressi offerings, making it a trusted company among the scuba community.

Because of Cressi’s lens design, the Big Eyes Evolution has become a popular choice among those who require prescription lenses in their scuba diving masks.

Mares X-VU Liquidskin

If you are pushed for cash but in need of a high-quality mask, the Mares X-VU Liquidskin is a strong choice.

It’s true to its name, providing a soft, skin-like texture to feel less like a scuba mask and more like a prosthetic attachment to your face. Mares’ Liquidskin technology is reminiscent of SCUBAPRO’s Trufit feature, utilising both a soft silicone and more rigid silicone for comfort and rigidity.

One problem repeatedly faced by divers is mask fogging, which Mares has counteracted by using an anti-fog coating on the lenses. If you want to get the best out of this feature, you will have to perform regular maintenance and careful cleaning after using the mask.

Now, as the mask falls on the cheaper end of the spectrum, you’d be rightly concerned about its durability. The mask is light, but it is surprisingly tough as well as being highly resistant to saltwater degradation. Flimsiness is an issue faced by many cheaper masks, but not the X-VU Liquidskin.

Overall, the Mares X-VU Liquidskin mask is an excellent option for those looking for a reliable but cheap scuba diving mask. It’s comfortable, damage resistant and will provide you with a clear, fog-free diving experience.
