Looking to buy a gauge reader mask such as a Dive Rite ES125 Gauge Reader or equivalent. Please PM me if you have one that you want to sell.
I searched for awhile with negative results. Edd at Cave Adventurers made me a deal I couldn't refuse on a new one, so I bought two!
Pulled the trigger and just ordered one from Edd.Quote:

Actually had a full prescription mask with bifocals for years when I was nearsighted. Had cataracts replaced earlier this year so now I see great at a distance but cannot read (or see gauges) without readers/magnifiers.Quote:

Got to where I had to look good to determine if I was seeing a 3 or a 2 on the gauge and I didn't want to be in a cave thinking I had 3000 psi when I only had 2000. That 1000 delta might be important:) so once I was sure I had the mask I liked, I popped for the lenses, glad I did too, it has helped lots.Quote:

Where'd you get them?Quote:

If you have any questions, call them, they are very helpful
FWIW, I did several rounds with the stick on and the glue in prescription lenses. Eventually there would be build up and algae growth between the mask and the lens.
I finally got a SeaVision mask and it has been working great for years now. Especially since I learned how to properly defog my mask after 30 years of diving :) Apparently my spit ain't worth $h1+
Thanks! I'll be checking them out.Quote:

Duh!Quote:

I would only caution that over time the bond will break down and you will see algae get between the added lens and the face mask glass. It's happened to me with several different masks.Quote:

I am not a paid spokesperson, I did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night… Just work well for me.
I have given up on getting the numbers on my gauges in focus. I just know which direction I want the needle to be pointing.Quote:
