Cressi F One Frameless Scuba Diving and Snorkeling Mask

Cressi, an Italian brand pioneering in scuba diving, snorkeling, and swimming equipment since 1946, has a legacy of innovation that began in 1939 with two brothers who shared a passion for the sea. Egidio and Nanni Cressi started by crafting masks and spearguns that would allow them to move and hunt more efficiently in the waters near their home. By 1946, their designs and products had become so popular that they founded the Cressi company in Genoa, Italy, which has since maintained a 60-year history of groundbreaking product development.

Among Cressi's notable innovations are the Pinnochio mask, a dive mask with a dedicated nose pocket for easier equalization, and the Rondine freediving fin, featuring an innovative long blade for maximum efficiency. Frameless masks, loved by many divers for their low-profile and ability to fold flat for easy carrying, even in a BC pocket, are another Cressi specialty. The company's frameless design bonds a high-grade silicone skirt directly to a single lens for the ultimate in simplicity.

The lens of Cressi's frameless masks is made of tempered glass and certified by the CE (Communauté Européenne). 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. These masks also represent an unbeatable value, with a cost roughly half that of similar masks.

The F1, one of Cressi's most popular frameless mask models, is designed in Italy and manufactured in Taiwan. As an Italian brand with a rich history, Cressi has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation in the field of scuba diving, snorkeling, and swimming equipment, making it a trusted name among enthusiasts and professionals alike.
