Snorkel Mask Camera

I was surfing the web yesterday looking for new toys for our upcoming tropical trip and ran across this ingenious product.

Mask-Camera.(a)-O

Liquid Image 304 XSC Explorer Series 8.0 MP Underwater Video Camera – Yellow

Now, as I’ve mentioned before, I am unfortunately not a diver, but I LOVE to snorkel and I LOVE to take pictures. I even love to take pictures AS I snorkel.We’ve had great luck with our  Olympus Waterproof Camera and are definitely enjoying, although have not yet mastered our new GoPro HERO3+: Black Edition (note to self, before attempting to video a feat such as zipping down Mystic Mountain in Jamaica, make sure the battery is charged….sigh.) But, the thought of taking pictures and video while snorkeling without having to hold on to a camera is, well, appealing!


Another option.

Mask-Go-Pro.O

GoPro Hero 3+ Compatible Scuba Mask (Black) – for Diving with GoPro® Hero3 Black, Silver, and White Accessory. Since we already have a GoPro, this option would make sense as well. My only concern would be if I would have to tilt my head slighlty to get the same camera view as what I’m seeing.

What do you think? Have you had any experience with either of these products? If so, what are the pros and cons?
