    Default WTB: Gauge Reader Mask like DR ES125

    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!

    I did the full blown Prescription thing, took awhile getting used to, actually made me a little nauseous, but you will get over that if it happens to you.

    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.

    Are your lenses bifocal or gauge reader as well as prescription? I have prescription lenses, but they are the same correction from top to bottom, and I'm getting to where I'd like some help with the close-up focus.

    Presbyopia has kicked in, I see great from 3 to 20 ft, but not shorter or further, so they are bifocal, one of the tricks is deciding where you want that line to be. I think place it low as you don't want to be trying to look at anything but your gauges with the close up lens. As far as I know, progressives are not an option. 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.
    Edd wears one close up contact and one far contact, first I don't want to put anything in my eyes, and thinking about having one eye focused opposite the other, gives me a headache, but I suppose that's an option too.

    Where'd you get them?
