The equipment
Mask
We own different models – adult and junior – of high quality equipment designed by Cressi Sub. The variety of models meets all the needs of size, age and face dimensions, especially the smaller faces of women and children. The models are differentiated by separate-glass or single-glass masks, both guaranteeing good visibility in every direction. The soft silicone face on all the masks (some models also in hypoallergenic silicone) offer a high level of comfort thanks to the wide internal support flange.
Snorkel
The variety of Cressi Sub snorkel models adapt to different facial features and mouth sizes. Some models are made of hypoallergenic silicone and have incorporated a shaped splash guard that reduce the entry of water from the upper end without obstructing breathing.
Fins
Fins are all designed by Cressi Sub and boast high quality Cressi patented construction systems. These systems guarantee high performance, lightness and ease of kicking, as well as extraordinary comfort. The great variety of models and sizes allows us to satisfy any fitting request, from kids to adults. Some models are adjustable easily adapting to three-four contiguous fits ensuring an wearability.
Wetsuit
Leader in diving, freediving and snorkeling equipment market, Cressi produces high quality wetsuits specific to every need. The back zipper is specifically designed to reduce water infiltration, just as the flat seams prevent abrasion on the skin. The suits we dispose of are both short and long from 2.5 mm up to 3.5 mm, in the various models for men / women / children.
