Description

The Kirby Morgan® BandMask® 18 is a top-tier commercial diving mask built for both mixed gas and shallow water air diving operations. It incorporates a hand-laid fiberglass frame (in yellow), ensuring excellent durability and strength while maintaining a lightweight profile.

Equipped with the 455 Balanced Regulator, the BandMask® 18 offers superior breathing performance, low inhalation resistance, and diver-adjustable control. The SuperFlow® adjustable demand regulator lets divers breathe easier and work harder, even in challenging environments.

This mask includes the Tri-Valve® Exhaust System, which has significantly reduced breathing resistance and ensures extremely dry operation. It also features BandKeepers® and a redesigned hood system, which enhance comfort and prevent separation of the hood and bands during operation.
