Rather than having to dive with a bulky digital camera encased in an underwater housing, this new dive mask has a digital camera built right into it. The Liquid Image Digital Underwater Camera Mask records underwater photos and videos hands free by encasing the camera into the dive mask itself.

The mask comes in two different varieties, an adult version – which carries a 5 megapixel CMOS censor, as well as an adult and teen version with a smaller 3.1 megapixel camera.

The mask has cross hair reticule which divers must alight before pressing the shutter button on the top of the mask. Also built into the mask are an array of super bright LED lights, eliminating the need for additional illumination. Storage comes the form of onboard micros SD slots and divers can then upload pictures and video from the camera via the onboard USB port. Also on board is an LCD Status Display which is powered by two 1.5V AAA Alkaline Batteries.

Divers, however, won’t be able to get too deep as the maximum operating depth of the Liquid Image Digital Underwater Camera Mask is about 30 meters.

The mask comes with USB Cable, User Manual, and ArcSoft Photo and Video Impression Software and will sell this Spring starting at around $100.
