Hello Everyone. I am going diving in a couple weeks in Florida for the first time. I have gone to a local store in person to try on masks and while I did find some masks that worked well, I was blown away by the cost of getting a mask with lenses for nearsighted eyes.

As someone who is planning to scuba probably just this weekend and never again, I really don't want to spend that much money. I have been looking around online and saw that Dive Gear Express seems to have much cheaper masks with corrective lenses and I was curious if people have tried them. I am specifically looking at the "DGX Gears Rio Mask" because I am avoiding narrow masks. Are they good quality? Should I reconsider the masks I have tried in person (I was leaning towards the TUSA Freedom Elite for context). Would this mask give me a comparable Quality?

BTW, very nervous about the whole thing, I am only going because my friends/fiance are interested in diving.

Hello, here is the context to the what is happening in the campaign I am running and the problem I might be running into.

My Players are going through the Kingmaker Adventure Path Right now and we are currently exploring Linzi's companion quest. There are five players in the group + Linzi the NPC so the encounters have to be slightly scaled up. That has been fine so far because the encounters mainly have just been scaled by adding more lackeys.

The players made their way into the ruins where they were attacked by a group of Lurkers in the Light and because of the previous encounter with a group of Inveigled Orges, they believe that the creatures are similarly controlled. Seeing a bunch of cute fey summoning unicorns and assuming compulsion, the players are a bit weary to attack them, and despite the obvious signed of a HAG COVEN, a couple of the players had the bright idea to go downstairs in the middle of combat.

Now as part of scaling the encounter, and because they took a while to get to the encounter, and just generally giving a darker vibe to my campaign the plan was that the players were to arrive just towards the end of the ritual where Eobold has been sacrifice and the Hags have summoned a nabasu. Would have been a fun fight. But now the rogue has gone there all by his self spending all of his actions to do so and is bring both a hag coven and a nabasu into a fight that was already going to take a while.

That being said, I do have faith in my players as they are all well seasoned players and have dealt with extremely difficult encounters before, but I am worried for the rogue. My plan is to have the Nabasu be commanded to deal with the rest upstairs, having him use is free teleports to go and cut off the party at the entrance, while the Hags corner the rogue and once he is dead head up stairs. I switched the original Hags with this Coven of Iron Hags, because I want to use updated stats and such, but Iron hags are very scary at being able to chain multiple bonds of iron into an impaling spike.

I am currently brainstorming ways to give my players a little bit more edge in the encounter, things like the Nabasu scaring off the lurkers in the light so the players only have to deal with the summons + the Nabasu, but overall pray for my players dealing with this very extreme encounter they have made for themselves.
