Moʻolelo — Maintenance

For years I've used the Hammerhead Speargun MV3 GoPro mask with blue tint. I absolutely loved that mask, it fit my face really well. It's a low volume mask that felt comfortable on deeper drops and on those deeper drops when the air in your mask compresses, on the way back up to the surface the air expands giving you just a little taste of air that you can breathe on the way back up. I was able to do that each time without wasting any air or water entering my mask. Of course through heavy use, wear and tear,...

He noticed the smooth and flat surfaces on the front and the back where he could install a large sticker. Immediately I said let's put the Ono pattern with my logo in the middle & it came...
