Hey guys,
I need to take my girlfriend mask shopping, she lives in the Hillsboro/portland area. I'm looking for a recomendation for a good shop in the area. preferably one with a good selection and helpful staff.

There's a shop in Aloha called Pacific Watersports. I haven't been there in a long time, but the folks were nice and I remember their selection to be decent.

I second Spatman's recommendation for the shop in the Hillsboro area.

I can third that; I've been there as a browser and was welcomed. They've got good reviews online. Let us know how it went!

Found her a good mask, the "tusa freedom one". Pacific water sports was welcoming, knowledgeable and pretty well stocked. we decided to keep shopping, went to 3 shops 2/3 were pretty good, we ended up with the first mask we liked of course. Didn't like Aquatic Sports in Portland that much. Went to Underwater Works in Tigard, the staff there were very nice, knowledgeable, and welcoming. they had a really good selection as well. I'd recommend either of the 2 shops.
