Help bring the revolutionary AAK 180 Diving Mask to market (watch video)
The AAK 180 Diving Mask is the first single lens peripheral vision mask that frees your eyes to an immense under water world.
The AAK 180 Diving Mask is designed to give greater vision. Common masks have a limited range of vision; to appreciate the whole environment, you need to turn your head from side to side. With that in mind, the designers behind the AAK 180 knew they had to create a mask with peripheral vision, allowing lateral view – something that other masks don´t have. With the 180, there is greater freedom of movement and vision, which gives you a much better diving experience.
But it has not been easy. The AAK 180 Diving Mask is made of a single curved lens, which has required three years of studies, material analysis and testing to get it where it is today. A unique mask, not only in terms of vision underwater, but also in design, materials and comfort.

THE STRAP
Another new element of the 180 is the strap, designed for better comfort before, during and after diving.
- Its design helps to adjust the mask to the face, so it will not move
- The two-piece system helps to release it quickly and, with one movement, it falls on the chest, keeping your hands free and without danger of losing the mask
- Easy to put the mask on and off
- Made of nylon 3/4 ” (1.9cm ). With UV protection
- Convenient and easy to use
THE BAG
The AAK 180 Diving Mask comes with an ultra light and soft neoprene bag, designed to protect your mask and give you a comfortable way to carry it wherever you dive.
