Atomic SubFrame ARC Mask

Atomic SubFrame ARC Mask reduces reflected light and actually increases the amount of available light transmitted to a diver’s eyes.

The Atomic SubFrame ARC Mask is so durable it carries a Lifetime warranty against frame breakage. The strength comes from the internal frame (subframe) moulded directly beneath the surface of the silicone rubber skirt. A wide field of view and great fit combines function, style and durability.

This subframe provides incredible strength and rigidity and eliminates the bulky external plastic frame in other masks. A stainless steel retainer locks the lenses in place and strengthens the mask’s nose bridge area.

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 Coatings, or “ARC”, is a multi-layer metal 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.

What is the underwater benefit of Atomic SubFrame ARC Mask 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.
