Scubapro FFM - Anyone used one?

Mdemon · 25th January 2006, 09:37

I didn't get on with mine at all. I didn't like the fit and the vision compared with my usual mask. I hope you have better luck!

OK.

Just looking at the Cressi compared to the Scubapro, i'm not even going to try the Cressi. But yesterday i had the oppertunity to try the scubapro, and allthough my expierience with FFM is limmited, i was pleasantly surprised. I found the straps very comfortable around my haed, and not too difficult to get on and off under water. (I was trying it OC) I allso found the field of vision to be reasanable. The plastic strap conectors to the mask are my only 'moan' as my freind who has an AGA pointed out to me that they can twist off under water and or break at this point. (demonstrated underwater, allthough the mask did stay on my face, 'just' even without the straps). Anyway, Gabrielesub, want's me to try his AGA before i buy a Scubapro, but i'm affraid i might like it better than the Scubapro, and have to fork out an extra 300 euro's.

It's a battle against time, i have to get sorted before i try any of his expensive moddified gear which makes me go ga-ga!

So, does anyone know whare i can buy a Scubapro? If you could post me a link or something i'd be much obliged.

Thanks.

Ebay? Spares are easy to get hold of.

I have an AGA - are you modding to make it CCR or just OC?

I have an AGA too.

AGA requires some custom parts to hook up to the DSV. My ScubaPro doesn't for my Meg. AGA uses a nose plug to jam on your nose to clear. ScubaPro you can still pinch your nose. AGA does have a better field of view. ScubaPro fits my face a little better. AGA needs a size for Large faces...

For ScubaPro online...

For AGA Ebay...

I love the mask, but i can get it 'way' cheaper than than here in italy!

If anyone has something in 'excelent condition' and want's to get rid, let me know!!

With the scubapro i could plumb in a second stage on the side and save on £'s the BOV, any thaughts?

You might have to use a shut off on your second stage. Then, you'd have to shut your DSV. Then Open your second stage. Or the other way around. If you get a hit. You'll be luck to do one of these.

I use a meg. I just hit my ADV and let it push dil throught the loop and bubble out the bottom of the mask... Or, bailout.

Nick uk. · 26th January 2006, 21:44

OK. so i just bought a scubapro FFM.
I was wanting to give it whirl OC, but can't get my Apecks to squeeze onto the mouthpiece holder fingy' (i think thats what they call em), and i haven't got a scubapro reg to do a comparison but have looked at my assortment and have noticed that an Apecks from a dreager, from an oceanic ALL have different mouthpiece sizes!

Is the Scubapro mask made specificaly for scubapro reg's?
As anyone mounted one to a BI?

Heeeeeelp.

I put liquid soap on mine. Both the rubber piece and the plastic. To put the Meg dsv on it. Also had to have it mounted to the mask. To get a firm grip. And the little plastic washer that fits on it. I had to take it off.

When i get home tonight I'll check them out.... See if ScubaPro is any different then the Apeks.... Mine are TX50's. What are yours?

I never had it mounted to my apeks. I did use it on my ScubaPro reg. It is a pain to get on the mouthpiece.
