Without. Why? I prefer to not have anything block my view.

I am more concerned with the fit of the mask rather than if it has a centre divider. A centre divider/2 lens mask will allow you to get prescription lenses if needed.

i heard that for uw hunting the mask with divider is better because it makes you see action on the periphery better as the divider-less masks make you look straight. i don't know if it's true. i'd say divider-less would be better for photography. as many said, fit is the most important thing.

I need to look sexy underwater and as such, like to look like I have 2 eyes. The 2 lens masks help that look. Seriously, most single lens masks are a higher volume mask and I prefer low volume masks, so I stick with the post.

sorry for the silly question:
what do you mean "high volume"?
