Info on the Atomic Sub Frame ARC Lens

Atomic Aquatics introduces "ARC lens technology" in the Ultra-Clear mask line. All Atomic Aquatics masks come standard with our special Ultra-Clear optical quality glass with exceptional clarity, light transmission, and no color distortion. ARC technology coatings further improve this already incredible lens material by reducing reflections and by allowing more light in the diving mask. We introduced Ultra-Clear to the diving industry and have never used low cost, poor quality green float glass like the other 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 Ultra-Clear 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 lens technology lenses?
Between 4-12% 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 will ARC technology lenses do for you?

• 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.
