Cressi Mens Playa Wetsuit, Big Eyes Evo Mask and Delta 1 Premium

Wetsuit:

Hoodless one-piece, with short pants and sleeves, made from 2.5 mm thick double lined neoprene.

It zips up at the front to make it easier to put on and take off.

Arms and legs have a very elastic Ultraspan neoprene braided seal to minimise water infiltration.

 

Who it's for

Playa is perfect for snorkelling, for diving in tropical water, for swimming, sailing and all water sports in general.

It is light and easy to put on and take off, leaving the wearer free to move.

Mask:

This revolutionary mask is made from High Seal, a new material that offers extraordinary and unprecedented comfort.

Not only has this new High Seal silicone been chosen, with its exceptional softness and comfort, but the entire design of the skirt has followed new rules which allow a point of contact between the mask and the face that has a very open angle.

The mask rests on the face with unprecedented comfort and does not leave any marks on the skin, even after extended use.

Naturally, to obtain such a result the entire structure of the skirt is differentiated, with internal ribs that stiffen the parts of the mask that are most stressed.

The raked lenses, with their inverted drop shape (Cressi patent), are quite small and are brought as close to the pupils as possible, so that the already extraordinary visibility of the Matrix is increased by 25%.

The headband uses the exclusive patented Cressi system of double injection of an elastomer on a rigid element and allows the buckles of the strap to be mounted not on the skirt structure, as done by our competitors, but on an indestructible elastic element that tilts on a vertical plane and can be completely bent sideways on a 180° curve.

The thickness of the headband has been reduced to such an extent as to make it practically invisible when the mask is being worn.

Big Eyes Evo has been created to take prescription lenses: a small screwdriver and a few seconds are all it takes to replace the standard lenses with prescription lenses.

The Big Eyes Evo packaging can be completely recycled and the lower black part has been made from recycled material: Cressi also cares for the environment!

Snorkel:

New reversible snorkel (it can be used on the right and left side), designed for snorkeling, free-diving and scuba diving.

The bore is made from variable section flexible material to assist swimming, and the top part is slightly bent to follow the profile of the diver's head.

The shape of the coloured splash-top has been designed to prevent water from splashing in.

The purge system has an elliptical valve and is contained in a special water collection well.

The mouthpiece is identical to the ones mounted on Cressi regulators and can be swapped as the need may be.

Purge system and bore are connected by a corrugated section on the outer side only (smooth inside) that make it possible for the mouthpiece and the drainage well to drop down into a handy vertical rest position, perfect for scuba diving.

The mask attachment is the rapid, height adjustable clip-on.

Cressi-sub is the oldest underwater diving company presently existing: officially, it dates back to 1946, when brothers Egidio and Nanni Cressi founded it, but already 3 years before that, in 1943, they had begun small-scale manual production. So, the history of underwater diving itself is identified with the history of Cressi-sub and many, many Cressi products have marked the evolution of this sport over the past sixty years, with a series of inventions and insights that were then followed by all the manufacturers. Egidio and Nanni Cressi, two brothers with a passion for the sea, founded Cressi-Sub in 1946. Their enthusiasm contributed to the evolution and transformation of the world of diving into that fantastic sport that we know and practice today. At first the structure was small and the products were all but handcrafted, entrusted to the hands and skill of the two brothers. One after another, all the products that have gone through constant improvements and evolvements to become part of modern history were created there. Egidio Cressi personally tried out and tested all the equipment and he then made sure that the changes suggested by the "field" tests were carried out. The sea trials, the value of experience, are still now unqualified principles of the company, applied to the simplest piece of equipment as well as the most complex ones. Any new product, even though it is now computer designed and manufactured using machinery of futuristic technology, must pass the tests of long use in the sea before it receives the go-ahead for production. This is the philosophy of Antonio Cressi, who has been part of the company since he was a boy and who continues the tradition and passion of his father and uncle. With the same love for each product that is created and with the same capacity for self-criticism in the strict tests that he personally carries out in the sea. Today, Cressi-sub is a company with 16,000 square metres of undercover space, state-of-the-art moulding machinery and robotised production systems. It has highly specialised technical offices, where all the new products are computer designed, with constant research into new materials and the proverbial strictness in the extremely severe tests and inspections. It has branches in America, Spain and France and is distributed in a hundred or so countries all over the world, but it is a fully Italian-owned company - the only one of its size, at the moment. Naturally, this is a typically Cressi tradition.
