The Legendary GULL Mask Trusted by Divers Around the World
The GULL Vader is one of GULL's most iconic dive masks, combining a sleek single-lens design with premium Japanese craftsmanship, exceptional comfort, and advanced UV420 AR lens technology. Its low-volume construction and wide, unobstructed field of view make it a favorite among recreational divers, freedivers, underwater photographers, and dive professionals alike.
Designed and manufactured in Japan, the Vader delivers outstanding visibility, effortless equalization, and a secure, comfortable seal that performs dive after dive. Whether you're exploring California kelp forests or tropical coral reefs, it's a mask built for divers who demand both comfort and performance.
Why We Love It
The Vader has earned its reputation for a reason. Its single-lens design provides a remarkably open, natural view underwater while maintaining a compact, low-volume profile that's easy to clear and equalize.
One of the reasons we've continued recommending this mask for years is its outstanding comfort. The premium silicone skirt, Curled Lip design, and Soft Damper technology work together to create a secure seal without excessive pressure on your face.
Our shop owner, Harry, has been diving with his own Vader mask for over 20 years, and it remains one of his favorite pieces of equipment. When a mask performs that reliably for decades, it's easy to understand why it has become one of GULL's most recognized designs.

UV420 AR Amber Lens Technology
The Vader features GULL's premium UV420 AR Amber Lens, designed to improve both visibility and eye protection underwater.
The UV420 coating filters harmful ultraviolet and high-energy visible (HEV) light that can contribute to long-term eye fatigue.
The amber lens tint enhances contrast, making marine life, reef structure, and underwater details easier to distinguish—especially in kelp forests, reefs, and lower-light conditions.
A single-sided anti-reflective (AR) coating increases light transmission while reducing glare, creating a brighter and more natural underwater view while making it easier to maintain eye contact with your dive buddy.
No Center Frame Design
Unlike traditional dual-lens masks, the Vader's uninterrupted single-lens design eliminates the center frame between your eyes, creating a brighter and more expansive field of view.
The low-volume construction further enhances visibility while making mask clearing and equalization quick and effortless. Whether you're navigating kelp forests, photographing marine life, or simply enjoying the scenery, the Vader provides a natural, unrestricted viewing experience.
