Mares Force-X Dive Mask
Low-volume design. Wide underwater vision. A secure, comfortable fit.
The Mares Force-X is a low-volume, dual-lens scuba mask built around a durable stainless-steel frame and soft silicone skirt. Its wide field of vision, adjustable Y-shaped buckle system and quick-release lens clips make it a versatile option for recreational divers.
It is also compatible with Mares visual aids, making it worth considering for divers who need corrective lenses underwater.

What Makes the Force-X Stand Out?
Low-Volume Dual Lens
The two-lens design keeps the mask profile compact, with less internal air space than many larger-volume mask designs.
Stainless-Steel Frame
An integrated stainless-steel frame gives the mask a durable structure while maintaining a streamlined profile.
Quick-Release Lens Clips
Metal clips make it easier to remove and replace lenses for cleaning, repair or compatible visual-aid options.
Wide Field of Vision
The bi-lens design is made to provide a broad view underwater, helping you stay aware of your surroundings and dive buddy.
Y-Shaped Buckle System
The buckle attachment helps distribute strap pressure and gives you room to adjust the mask for a more secure fit.
Soft Silicone Skirt
The silicone skirt forms the seal against your face. Its shape and softness are important, but the final fit will depend on your individual facial contours.
Mares Force-X vs. Force-X LS
The Force-X LS is the LiquidSkin version of this mask. Its bi-silicone skirt combines two types of silicone, offering a different approach to softness and facial sealing.
The standard Force-X uses a soft silicone skirt and shares the low-volume dual-lens concept, stainless-steel frame and quick-release lens system. The main distinction to consider is the skirt construction.
A Quick Mask-Fitting Tip
Before your first dive, check the fit with the mask against your face and the strap out of the way. Inhale gently through your nose. A mask that seals evenly should stay in place briefly without you needing to pull the strap tight.
This is only a preliminary fit check. Facial shape, facial hair and other factors can affect the seal, so take the time to make sure the mask is comfortable before diving.
Still Choosing a Dive Mask?
The right mask comes down to more than lens style. Learn how volume, frame design, lens layout and skirt shape can affect your choice.
