Some people report feeling claustrophobic or don’t like a lens that’s right on their eyeballs.
I use a low volume ScubaPro mask but it’s not as extreme as some of the low volume “tech” masks, such as from DGX. |

I use a Salvimar Noah for SCUBA. Yes the lens is close to your eyes, but this feature allows for the same field of view of a larger mask, further from your eyes. Lense can be considerably smaller when close to your peepers to get the same results.
Easy to clear.. I barely have to let out a puff to clear. Conversely, they fill pretty fast! All that being said, I'm sold. I dive just about every weekend, so heavily used equipment here. |

I don't see any disadvantage to a low volume mask.
Smaller volume, less mask squeeze; less water, easier to clear; newer masks have great visibility. If I had to go back to using old-school mid- and high-volume masks, I'd quit diving. |

FWIW I dive those super low volume tech mask that love them. It was a little weird at first but I like the feeling now. I use them to reduce dill usage clearing my mask on my rebreather. It’s actual effectiveness though is probably laughable. It makes me feel like I’m doing something though. Haha
