If you’re in the market for a reasonably priced mask for diving or snorkelling then the Beuchat X-Contact 2 is a great choice, as we found out on a recent trip to Antigua.

The design offers a wide field of vision in a compact and comfortable style. It’s super-soft hypoallergenic silicone helps with equalisation and is very durable, making the mask feel more high quality than the price may suggest.

A great addition to the mask is the Beuchat Airflex Hyperdry Snorkel. It’s super flexible and comfortable with a valve that closes during immersion and an innovative design that helps to prevent any influx of water.

You can get your hands on both for less than £60 which is a great deal for any snorkeller or diver who just wants a good quality option without breaking the bank!
