Fourth Element Scout Mask – Black

The Fourth Element’s new Scout Mask in Black is the latest addition to your favourite diving hardware. The Fourth Element is known for proactively researching and developing new diving ideas, focusing on improving your underwater experience. The Fourth Element Scout mask in black is highly suitable for scuba divers and snorkellers and will be a fantastic addition to your core diving equipment set.

Diving conditions worldwide are incredibly different – from tropical to temperate and cold waters and from blue water diving and snorkelling to overhead environments like wreck and cave diving. When environments are very different, the Fourth Element comes forward, introducing different lenses for different dive conditions. The Fourth Element Scout Mask is available in two primary frame colours – black and white. Both frames have exceptionally soft silicone aiding proper fit and seal. The Scout Mask comes in four different lenses for the different types of underwater environments:  

Shield lens

It is inspired by the gold visors of NASA astronauts. The SHIELD lens provides UV protection and reduces glare, making it ideally suited to tropical and warmer water environments. Perfect for shallower diving and snorkelling in bright conditions. UVA and UVB radiation is reflected by the lens, reducing the exposure of the eye to potentially harmful rays.

Clarity lens

The CLARITY lens is manufactured with the highest level of purity to deliver maximum visual acuity during a dive. The clear lens is ideal for night divers and photographers, maximising the amount of transmitted light without any tint from impurities in the glass. This ultra-clear lens is also perfect for teaching – allowing students and instructors to see each other’s eyes.

Contrast lens

This contrast lens provides full UVA and UVB protection from harmful ultraviolet. The contrasting lens has a green appearance, filtering out some of the mid-range wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum. Particularly when diving in temperate (green) waters, images seen through the lens increase contrast, accentuating brighter and darker areas, increasing the perception of visual acuity.

Enhance lens

This lens is designed to protect the eye and enhance the visual experience. It filters Ultraviolet and HEV (High Energy Visible) radiation. It is well known that UV has a damaging effect on the eye, but it has also been shown that HEV light can interfere with the lutein proteins in the eye and alter them, so filtering out this High Energy radiation can help to preserve optical health. 

Dedicated Scout Mask Straps

To offer maximum personalisation, the Fourth Element Scout Mask Straps are offered with the mask and you can now choose from four colour patterns – Aqua, White, Grey and Black -all with lovely fourth element branding. The Fourth Element’s mask straps are made of recycled rubber and nylon with a universal plastic buckle made out of recycled automotive plastic waste!

Dedicated Scout Mask Box

Low profile and protective, this case will protect the lens thanks to its cushioned half shell without creating bulk, meaning it can fit in the foot pocket of many fins for convenient transport. It is supplied as standard with every fourth element mask. They are designed to replace the bulky, disposable plastic boxes supplied with many masks.
