Scubapro Frameless Gorilla Scuba Diving Mask

Scubapro Frameless Gorilla Mask: Single-Lens Frameless Mask for Working Divers

The Scubapro Frameless Gorilla Mask is a single-lens, frameless dive mask built around a simple idea: remove everything that does not need to be there.

No rigid frame sits between the lens and the silicone skirt. The two bond directly together, which trims internal volume, reduces bulk, and pulls the glass closer to your face. If you are a dive professional or an experienced recreational diver who wants a mask that disappears once it is on, the Gorilla is worth a serious look.

Who This Mask Is Built For

Scubapro positions the Gorilla as a professional-grade mask, and the design backs that up.

It suits divemasters, instructors, and experienced recreational divers who get in the water often and want gear that is straightforward, durable, and genuinely comfortable across long days. If you are newer to diving and still figuring out what fits your face, a mask with more adjustability options might serve you better while you dial in your preferences.

The Frameless Construction

Most masks use a hard plastic frame to hold the lens in place and anchor the skirt around it. The Gorilla skips that frame entirely.

The lens and silicone skirt assemble directly as a single unit. The result is lower internal volume, meaning less air space between your eyes and the glass. That matters in two practical ways: the mask sits closer to your face for a more natural field of view, and you use less air to equalize it when pressure changes with depth.

The slightly larger and wider lens, finished in matte rather than polished glass, gives you a broad single-window view without the visual interruption a frame normally creates at the edges of your sightline.

Skirt and Seal

The skirt is silicone rubber with a double feathered edge, meaning the rim that contacts your face tapers to a very thin, flexible lip rather than ending in a blunt edge.

That thin edge conforms closely to facial contours and creates a reliable seal with less clamping pressure. Over a long dive or a full day of back-to-back dives, that translates to noticeably less fatigue around the face.

The wide split strap distributes tension evenly across the back of your head rather than concentrating it in a narrow band. Combined with the feathered skirt, the Gorilla is designed to stay sealed without needing to be cranked down tight.

Buckles and Adjustability

The buckles sit on the exterior of the mask body rather than being recessed into the skirt. This placement keeps them accessible and easy to operate, and Scubapro designs the system for one-handed adjustment.

For dive professionals who are helping students manage their own gear while simultaneously adjusting their mask, that matters. Gloves are not a problem here.

Nose Pocket

Equalizing your ears while diving requires pinching your nose and gently pressurizing (a technique called the Valsalva maneuver). The Gorilla has a large nose pocket designed to be easy to reach even with thick gloves on.

This is a small detail that becomes a real convenience in cold water or when wearing drysuit gloves.

Lens and Safety

The lens is tempered safety glass. Tempered glass is treated to be significantly harder and more resistant to impact than standard glass, and if it does break, it shatters into small blunt fragments rather than sharp shards. For a mask worn in professional environments, that is the right material.

A Few Honest Considerations

The Gorilla is a single-lens mask, so it does not offer corrective lens inserts the way some twin-lens designs do. If you dive with prescription lenses, check whether your prescription can be accommodated in a frameless single-lens format before committing.

Frameless masks also tend to fit a wider range of face shapes than framed masks, but fit is always personal. If you can try it against your face before buying, do.

This is a robust, no-frills mask from a brand with a long track record in professional diving. It is not loaded with features. What it does, it does cleanly and reliably, which is exactly what most working divers actually want.
