Atomic SubFrame ARC
The strongest and
most indestructible two-window mask ever
The Atomic Aquatics SubFrame Mask is so durable, it carries a Lifetime warranty
against frame breakage. The strength comes from the internal frame (subframe)
molded directly beneath the surface of the silicone rubber skirt (patent
pending). This subframe provides incredible strength and rigidity as well as
eliminating the bulky external plastic frame in other masks. A stainless steel
retainer locks the lenses in place and provides added strength to the nose
bridge area of the mask. A wide field of view and great fit completes the
combination of function, style and durability. (US Patent #7,181,778)
Anti-Reflective
Coatings
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.
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.
