Mantis FFM - Advice Please.

Hi all, has anyone used this mask;

Scuba Center - Mantis Full Face Mask

Does anyone see any reasons it would not work or any disadvantages?

Thanks

Fairly common design, like a smaller version of the Scubapro FFM.
If it fits your face it should work.

Is it possible to add a mouthpiece or is it a non issue?

For Bailout to get of the loop can you simply inhale through your nose with this mask or do you have to shut the loop, purge with an optional mounted OC regulator, or wear BOV?

The price and size is attractive but if it works best with a BOV compared to some of the other FFM with just a regulator then the price and size difference is negligible.

thanks,
Russ
