SNORKELING MASKS

NEW REVOLUTIONARY ANTI-FOG SYSTEM

The major innovation with the Quantum mask is that as well as offering enhanced downwards vision it avoids the fogging phenomenon through the internal thermoregulation of the warm, damp air exiting the nose. This air is channelled by a system of membranes set in the moulding around the eyes and nose and deviating the flow towards the rubber skirt rather than the lenses.

The external part of the skirt features a cooling system composed of two small heat exchangers that act as radiators. The effect is that the temperature inside mask drops, coming closer to the external temperature and the droplets of humidity are trapped before the air reaches the lenses, preventing them from fogging up. Despite the presence of the small internal membranes deviating the air flow and the external heat exchangers, the body of the Quantum mask is nonetheless compact and represents the most advanced design offered on the underwater vision market.

The lenses are not treated chemically and it should be remembered that when the mask is new, as is the case with all masks, we advise you to clean the lenses carefully with toothpaste or dishwashing detergent, or simply use Cressi Antifog to clean away all volatile materials and dust that may have collected on the glass. It is also always useful to use saliva as a surfactant before every dive.

INNER MEMBRANES + HEAT EXCHANGER

Inner Membranes

A patented membrane surrounding the inner nose pocket (1) and both the inner eyes pockets (2) which acts as a barrier and traps any moisture escaping from the diver’s nose involuntarily when breathing through the mouth. The result is that not only is the moisture channeled away from the lenses, thus avoiding the fogging up of them, but it also reduces the need to compensate for pressure.

To further improve the anti-fog effect, Cressi suggests, the first times that the dive mask is used, to spray some anti-fog solution or to apply some saliva on the inside of the lenses and then to rinse them with water.

Traditional Mask Fogging Effect

Heat Exchanger

The external part of the skirt features a cooling system composed of two small heat exchangers that act as radiators (3). Thanks to this system, the temperature inside mask drops, coming closer to the external temperature and the droplets of humidity are trapped before the air reaches the lenses, preventing them from fogging up.

Fog Stop System

Zeus is the perfect mask for diving. This mask has a particular tapered structure deriving directly from the highly popular Nano-mask patent. The same IDF-INTEGRATED DUAL FRAME TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM allows you to join the silicone skirt to the lens frame without major interruptions of the curvature continuity. The result is a mask with an extremely hydrodynamic shape and, visibility being equal, a significantly smaller size. The field of view obtained is particularly wide, laterally and in the lower zone. Thanks to its matte coating the mask’s components all match, enhancing the underwater experience since it prevents reflections in the water that may disturb marine life. The new micrometric adjustable buckles with a larger button allow a more easily regulation also wearing dive gloves. The new strap is made of two different silicone colors.

Unprecedented Total Vision

The Penta+ is the restyling of the popular Penta mask. It has four lenses and also introduces to this sector all the exceptional characteristics of the Matrix and the Lince. The Cressi patented system of raked lenses with an “inverted drop” shape offers incredible downward visibility, ideal for having under control the scuba diving equipment. The clear side windows are made of scratch-resistant material, more strong than glass or polycarbonate. Thanks to them, the mask offers unprecedented lateral visibility and great luminosity for total vision with no compromises. The skirt and the strap are made of hypoallergenic silicone, a very soft material compared to the low-quality PVC, that ensures a perfect seal and comfort. The buckles are embedded in the frame to offer instant adjustment of the strap length, even with one hand. It offers a very low internal volume, a record weight of only 175 g (6.2 oz).

Technical Features

Type: four lens mask

Front lenses: inverted teardrop design to ensure maximum visibility, made of tempered glass Strap buckles: pressure, with instant adjustment

• Very low internal volume
