CRESSI Eyes Evolution Crystal Two Lens Mask.

Not only has this new CRESSI Crystal 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(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.

• Skirt in CRESSI Crystal Silicone.
• Special structure of the skirt has differentiated rigidity.
• Very narrow headband in three materials, invisible when the mask is worn.

CRESSI Frog Plus Open Heel Fins.

CRESSI’s latest addition to its extensive line of world renowned fins is the Frog Plus open heel scuba diving fin. The Frog Plus features many of the great characteristics of a traditional paddle fin along with introducing a revolutionary new blade material that is both extremely durable and nearly indestructible.
The Frog Plus utilizes Cressi’s patented three material injection molding process. The three materials consist of a nice comfortable rubber on the foot pocket that extends up the side rails of the blade. The second material is the revolutionary new dual density techno polymer, which forms the blade, and in conjunction with the third silicone based material creates a channeling effect.
The channeling effect is the characteristic of the fin that enables a high level of energy to be transferred in both up and down strokes of the kick pattern.
The Frog Plus also incorporates Cressi’s patented positioning of the foot pocket below the blade. This design increases the working surface area of the blade by 20%.
The combination of the channeling effect and the foot pocket mounted beneath the blade creates a very powerful and efficient fin with minimal leg strain. Because of these characteristics, the Frog Plus fin is an ideal choice for the entry level to advanced diver.
The material is so durable and Flexible you can Bend the Fin over onto itself without fear of Cracking or Breaking the Fin Blade. This makes this Fin the most durable of its Kind.
The Frog Plus comes equipped with Impact Resistant Non-Corrosive Squeeze-Style Quick-Release Buckles and Adjustable Straps. The Straps have a Large Grip Tab for Ease of Donning and Doffing even with Gloved Hands.

It’s a Preferred first stage by diving centers as it is consider it to be a very effective for rental because of its low cost, hardwork and almost inexistent need of maintenance, as well as a surprising level of performance.
Conical filter with high filtering capacity, essential to avoid the entrance of particles from bottles. This feature is especially important for regulators in dive schools and rental.
Flow of air supplied 2100 l/min with an intermediate pressure drop in intensive breathing (150 bar) 0.5-0.8 bar (measurements made in a LP output with the second stage connected and a pressure of 150 bar in the Tank).
Exterior LP regulation by Allen Key, which make revision management and technical services maintenance very easy and efficient.
One 7/16” high pressure port (HP) and four 3/8” low pressure ports (LP).

CRESSI Compact Second Stage Regulator.

New Extremely simple and less complicated single shell second stage made from ABS and elastomer, compact small size (6 cm in diameter), Very light weight (145 g). Its mechanism and development are perfectly planned to obtain the minimum number of components and very strong.
It is a smart buy due to its combination of performance, reliability, price and cost of maintenance.
It is perfect for uses requiring maximum reliability and ideal as a travel regulator, given its lightness combined with the first stage MC5.
CE Standardization Annex B EN250/2014_A>10°C
It is also perfect for rental in diving centers, as a work regulator with AC2, and as an addition to the high range MC9.
The specific calibration of the inhalation mechanism slightly changes the air delivery as compared to the Ellipse series; the feel and sensitivity of these models is exquisite, with an abundant flow without needing to exploit the Venturi effect.
This feature provides a limited tendency to free flow on the surface and when positioning the equipment in the water, ideal for schools and rentals, octopus and double regulator.
However, the results of the features place it beyond regulators of highest range.
Asymmetrical perforation in the front cap. The water flow starts to push the diaphragm anti-clockwise so that its retraction is perfectly flat and the cam progressively descends perpendicularly, independent of conditions (currents, brisk movements, facial position, etc.).
Exhalation effort particularly reduced without the need to minimize the thickness of the diaphragm. The design of the membrane retention system directs the 100% channeled flow towards the nozzles of the bow, taking advantage of a strong Venturi effect.
Also, it works to direct the bubbles away from the diver’s field of vision.
Embedded membrane to avoid water infiltration in case of brisk turns or jumps to enter the water.

CRESSI Gara Modular Long Freediving Full Foot Fins.

CRESSI was the first manufacturer to use the thermoplastic rubber-blade foot pocket and also the first one to thermofuse in a single element three different materials to improve the effort transmission. An interchangeable blade which is very lightweight and reactive and also well-adapted for the most demanding of free-diving use. The need to dispose of a removable version to install blades made of carbon or other different materials, leads us to the new Gara Modular, which allows the CRESSI experience with a several materials composition and many features.
The volume of the shoe has been resized after extensive anatomical studies, so that the volumes are proportional to the effect of enlargement that cause the socks depending on the size of the foot, does not follow a fixed proportion size to size as proportionally a small foot “fattens” much more than a large one when you put on the socks.
The new foot pocket combines two materials, a thermoplastic rubber with high hardness (shore 90), flexible but inelastic and really resistant according to the nerves, to the whole foot pocket’s sole and to the exclusive strap over the instep aimed to make the effort transmission to be immediate without dissipate in rubbery compositions.
The instep incorporates on the middle a self-adjusting 2 cm wide strap, which allows a slight expansion (from 2 to 4 mm depending on the size) to fit in people who have high instep or also in case of using thick foot pockets. The expansion has been thoroughly balanced to avoid damaging the energy transmission.
The other foot pocket’s part (grey area) has a flexible composition shore 50º to obtain the maximum comfort. This material extends in the area of the heel to perform a non-slip function when walking on a boat or on rocks.
The original blade is made of high-modulus propylene (2500 Mpa). It has lifelong warranty and highly elastic return. It incorporates two little antiskid spoilers on the final area. The decreasing thickness section (from 4mm to 2mm) causes the highly progressive tonnage eliminating the skid tendency, because the first half of the set is more rigid and the final half is more flexible.

The low-internal volume allows for effortless clearing and quick-adjust strap buckles are molded directly into the skirt for a flexible fit and reduced drag.
It also represents an unbeatable value, with a cost roughly half that of similar masks.
The lens is made of tempered glass and certified by the CE (Communauté Européenne).
