Subject: Re: Low volume masks
Sherwood makes a fine low volume mask. I t was called the genesis, but
with the company break-up I don't know who makes it now. Scubamax makes a
nearly identical mask, only it has plastic pins instead of steel in the
buckles. The sherwood cost me 40 bucks 5 years ago; my backup scubamax
version was 30 last year.

Zeagle has a fine mask also...it has a very wide skirt...but is a little
pricey. If it fits the best though...it's worth it.
