IST Hunter Freediving Mask - MP203

Quick answer: The IST Hunter MP203 is an extremely low-volume freediving and spearfishing mask with tempered glass, swivel buckles and a soft, high-grade silicone skirt. It folds to fit easily in a BCD pocket, which makes it a great backup mask too.

Why bigger divers look at it

IST uses its highest grade of silicone for a soft, comfortable seal, and the swivel buckles let the strap find its natural angle on the back of your head. IST doesn't publish a face-size rating, and very low-volume masks sit close to the face, so do the fit test below before you count on it.

What it does well

Low volume means less air to clear and less to equalize, which matters on a breath-hold dive. The compact shape and all-black finish suit hunters and photographers. Because it folds flat, you can stash it in a BCD pocket as a spare in case your primary mask strap breaks or the mask floods badly.

What you get

• Extremely low-volume design
• Tempered glass lenses for safety and durability
• Soft, high-grade silicone skirt
• Swivel buckles
• Folds to fit in a BCD pocket

Options

Before you buy

Hold it to your face without the strap and breathe in gently through your nose. It should stay put without pressure at your temples or nose pocket. Read How to Fit a Dive Mask. More options: Wide-Fit Scuba Masks for Larger Faces.
