Liquid Image Underwater Digital Camera Snorkel Mask
This Video Snorkel/swim Mask is the first of its kind! The first 5 MP Underwater camera that functions as a snorkel/dive mask for up to 15 feet.
The mask has the lens built in the center of the eyebrows with the shutter button on the right. The genius of wearing the camera and always having it in “ready” position for photos/filming makes me almost wants to wear the mask at sporting events. It also frees up the divers hands for swimming.
The tempered glass lenses have cross hairs to aid in lining up the lens field of view. Aiming takes a little practice due the the cross hairs being located lower than the lens itself. After a few photos, I was able to line up horizontally like a pro!
We recently used the Video Swim Mask on a family adventure – Swimming with Manatees in Crystal River, Florida. This little adventure requires that you are out in the water during twilight hours (7:00 AM). We were impressed with the video camera’s responsiveness to adjust to the changing light condition as I lifted my head in and out of the water. The still photos are as comparable in quality to any 5 MP camera on the market today. Below is a still photo taken with this camera.
Kings Bay, Crytal River, FL
I have better luck with the video when I was under water. The constant motion of swimming and the water moving made it difficult to capture a clear crisp photo. The video was excellent and responded to the lower light conditions than the camera.

We were also impressed with the mask. The mask is well made with a silicone skirt for a comfortable and waterproof seal. I did not have any water leaks after removing several times. It also has a watertight storage space on the side to hide extra batteries, etc.
It comes with internal memory capable of holding up to 30 high resolution photos. There is also an SD card that allows up to 2 GB more that will hold 3000+ photos or 100 minutes of video.
The Liquid Image Video Swim mask will provide good video/photos at a Great price!
