Dynamic Nord MC-15 Mask

The Dynamic Nord MC-15 mask is an apnea mask that stands out for its extremely low volume, innovative design, and high-quality materials. This low-volume mask was designed to meet the demands of freediving, where low volume and good visibility are essential. With its skin-friendly silicone body and ergonomic fit, the MC-15 sets new standards for comfortable and high-performance freediving equipment.

Low-Volume Mask

A key feature of the Dynamic Nord MC-15 is its very low volume. This compact design reduces the amount of air required to equalize the mask, making pressure equalization significantly easier. This feature is particularly advantageous for deep apnea diving.

Skin-Friendly Silicone

The body of the MC-15 mask is made of soft, skin-friendly silicone that fits comfortably to the face shape and ensures a tight seal. The silicone material minimizes pressure on the face and provides a stable and comfortable fit, even during prolonged dives. The soft silicone makes the mask pleasant to wear and prevents uncomfortable pressure points. These comfort features make the MC-15 ideal for freedivers who undertake long dives and appreciate maximum freedom of movement.

Two-Button Buckles

A distinctive feature of the Dynamic Nord MC-15 is its Tec two-button buckles. These innovative buckles allow for easy and quick adjustment of the mask strap, both before the dive and underwater. The two buttons of the Tec buckles ensure that the mask strap remains secure and tight, without loosening during the dive. This function is particularly helpful when the mask fit needs to be adjusted, for example, when changing suits or hoods.

Mirrored Lenses

For divers looking for a unique style, the Dynamic Nord MC-15 is also available with mirrored lenses. The Revo mirror effect version not only gives the mask a stylish look but also offers optimal light reflection, reducing glare for improved visibility. The mirrored effect enhances the visual experience underwater and makes the mask stand out aesthetically.

My opinion: As a freediving instructor, I teach my students to choose unmirrored masks or goggles, so the safety diver can always see the freediver's eyes. From this perspective, I would recommend against purchasing the mirrored lens version. It remains to be seen if the mirrored effect is useful in spearfishing (so fish cannot see the diver aiming at them). I’ll test it out.

Version with Action-Cam Mount

Another useful feature of the Dynamic Nord MC-15 is the optional camera mount. This feature allows freedivers to easily document their dives and capture exciting underwater footage. The mount is stable and securely holds action cameras, allowing freedivers to capture and share their experiences. With this option, the Dynamic Nord MC-15 mask becomes a versatile companion, offering not only comfort and functionality but also the opportunity to experience underwater adventures in a unique way.

My opinion: I once tried a mask with a GoPro mount and found that the water resistance with the GoPro mounted was so high that CWT was practically impossible. For a very slow Free Immersion dive, it might be possible to get reasonable footage.

In summary, the Dynamic Nord MC-15 mask is the perfect choice for freedivers and apnea divers looking for a compact, low-volume mask that is easy to adjust and offers maximum comfort. With its low volume, adjustable Tec buckles, optional camera mount, and Revo mirror lens option, the MC-15 is the ideal equipment for those looking to make the most of their underwater adventures.
