Recreational or Dive mask?

So I got this mask for free at our SCUBA club dinner last year during our raffle. I've dove with it 4 times now down to 30 feet with no problems with it, it's a Blue Reef. What I'm worried about now that I've looked at other Blue Reef masks, is it really a dive mask or is it a recreational mask. I'm afraid it will blow up or something on me when I go down to 90 feet.

I once had a Blue Reef and used it on 100 foot plus dives a number of times. It cost me all of $15 and sealed as well as any other mask I have had until I switched to frameless ones.

when I have it on right, it has a really great seal, it does have tempered glass lenses, I guess I shouldn't be too worried about it then?

Don't worry about the brand. If it seals well for you, it is good. No difference if you are at 10 feet or 100 feet.

Since your mask is pressure equalized, as long as it's tempered glass, you should have no problem. As others have said, if it seals well and works fine, it's a keeper.

i wouldn't worry about it.... a lot of different manufacturers all get their masks at the same place but have their brand names put on after the fact.
