ULTRACLEAR LENSES
Both the Atomic Frameless and SubFrame models offer a new standard feature never seen or "seen through" before in a diving mask. We call them UltraClear lenses.
What makes UltraClear special? Did you ever notice that normal dive mask lenses have a greent tint to the glass? To see this tint, put your existing mask up to a piece of white paper and see for yourself. The green tint you see is the result of iron impurities left over in lower quality "float" or window type glass. That green tint distorts true colors and blocks out some of the light that reaches the eye.
UltraClear is a new and exciting optical quality glass with exceptional clarity and high light transmission, with no color distortion. The exceptionally high light transmittance and lack of distortion in the UltraClear lens maximizes the light available for improved visual acuity, especially underwater in low light conditions.
ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING
ARC Lens Technology Elevates UltraClear to a higher level
Atomic Aquatics developed ARC (Anti-Reflective Coating) technology to reduce reflected light and actually increase the amount of available light transmitted to a diver's eyes. The result is a greatly improved transmission of 98% of available light, compared to a loss of more than 14% of light with standard green "float" glass used on the majority of masks on the market.
What is ARC lens technology?
Anti-Reflective Coating or "ARC" is a multi-layer oxide coating process applied to both sides of the UltraClear lenses. This allows more light to enter the mask by reducing light reflections off the inside and outside surface of the lens. The metal oxide coating is only a few microns thick.
Why do you need ARC technology lenses?
Between 4-14% of light can be reflected back or "lost" by the standard "green float glass" mask lenses used by our competition. ARC technology lenses are especially important for scuba divers underwater, where available light is quickly absorbed by the surrounding water.
What is the underwater benefit of ARC for divers?
-
Clearer, crisper vision. You will see more clearly underwater and objects in the distance will become more defined and acute.
-
Increased contrast and clarity.
-
Reduces eyestrain, glare, and prevents ghost images on the viewing area of the lens.
-
An absolute must for night diving, limited visibility conditions, and underwater photographers.
CORRECTIVE LENSES
Optional for the SubFrame. Precision ground optical glass lenses are available in diopters between -1.0 to -8.0 in 0.5 diopter increments. Lenses must be factory assembled.
SIZES
The Atomic SubFrame masks are available in standard and medium fit. The medium fit mask has a skirt designed for narrow faces. The medium fit mask is identical to the standard model in every other detail.
Both versions of the patented Atomic SubFrame mask come with the optical quality UltraClear lens.
The SubFrame has the strongest and most indestructible frame made and is warranted for a lifetime from breakage.
COMPACT TRAVEL CASES
Both SubFrame and Frameless models are designed to fold flat to fit in a pocket or a compact travel case. Travel cases can also be purchased separately.
