What makes our New UltraClear Schott Superwite™ glass so special?
Atomic Aquatics revolutionized the dive industry with “UltraClear” lenses. Before UltraClear, all dive mask lenses were made from low-quality float glass with a visible green tint caused by iron particles remaining in the glass after processing. These green iron particles significantly block light transmission through the lens.
All Atomic Aquatics masks utilize a higher quality optical glass that significantly improves underwater vision allowing up to 96% of light transmission-UltraClear glass.
Our NEWEST UltraClear lens in the VENOM dive mask is made by the Schott Glass Company in Germany. The VENOM gives you the highest purity grade UltraClear glass available. That means you get incredible clarity and high light transmission that isn’t available in other masks-even those who claim to be ultra-clear.

2013 ScubaLab Masks: Tester’s Choice
Atomic Aquatics Venom
This high-concept mask performs as good as it looks. Built a bit larger than others in this test – with its reinforced internal frame and double-layer, dual-color silicone skirt – the Venom is really comfortable on the face. But what’s immediately noticeable is the excellent horizontal view it provides, by far the best in this group. This is due to a large lens that flares out on its outside edges, made from a high-quality glass imported from Germany called Schott Superwite, which allows more light in to brighten the underwater view. The squeeze-button buckles are soft mounted to the mask skirt, providing flexibility in strap positioning, plus they can be folded flat for packing. It’s a winning design that earned the Testers’ Choice in the single-lens category. The Venom is also available with an antireflective coating (ARC).

The only antidote is salt water, and lots of it!THE SPANKING-NEW mask that arrived at the SGR shop came with a note from Atomic Aquatics; it said this was the very first unit they were able to pry from the protective paws of their engineers. Very cool, we thought. We love being the first in line to try out new stuff.
Atomic Aquatics is calling this mask the Venom, and from what we can tell, it’s a blending of their SubFrame and Frameless masks. It has a reinforcing internal frame that’s molded directly beneath the surface of the silicone rubber skirt, like the Subframe, yet it offers the relatively low profile of the Frameless. Also, its faceplate is single window like the Frameless, but it has a high bridge and tear-drop shape similar to the SubFrame’s dual-window design.
The Venom comes across as a high-concept, stylish-looking piece of gear when it’s being held in your hand, and it’s really comfortable when mounted on your face. Its easy-to-use squeeze-to-adjust buckles are soft-mounted to the mask skirt, which allows a little bit of flexibility in strap positioning, plus they can be folded flat for packing.
Where the Venom differs from its SubFrame and Frameless cousins is in its faceplate construction. While the SubFrame and Frameless lenses use Ultraclear glass, which has quite a rep for optical quality in its own right, on the Venom mask Atomic uses an even higher-quality glass imported from Germany. Called Schott Superwite glass, it apparently allows more light to penetrate than even Ultraclear glass.
In the water, we find a testament to a good mask is that you don’t notice it on your face. The Venom does a good job of getting there. Like its cousins, it offers an above-average field of view, and the soft skirt and watertight seal combined to make the Venom feel like a part of our face. And while we didn’t actually put any measuring devices to the faceplate glass, cruising along at 30 feet on a sunny day with pretty good viz, we found looking at the sights through this bright distortion-free Superwite glass was like looking through no glass at all.
The Venom should be in dive stores this summer. Watch for it, and prepare yourselves to get bit.
Price: $199 Warranty: Lifetime on the frame, 1 year on buckles and skirt.
