This is the mask that completely revolutionized the sector
because it introduced new and exclusive principles that
are likewise milestones. Cressi-Sub Big Eyes. For the first time in the world,
the lenses are not parallel to the face but are raked
and shaped like an “inverted drop”, with a very unusual
development, the geometry of which is covered by a
worldwide patent. The anatomically shaped frame is a
very slim line and is invisible when the mask is being
worn. It provides all-round visibility, particularly
downwards, reaching unheard of values – in excess of 30%
wider view over traditional masks, bringing dressing and
equipment check to levels that were impossible until the
arrival of Big Eyes. The raked lenses and the subsequent
conformation of the skirt drastically reduce the internal
volume of the mask.
The Cressi-Sub Big Eyes soft silicone skirt and the broad seal ring against
the face make the Big Eyes mask very comfortable to wear. Two
revolving buckles guarantee quick and precise mask strap
adjustment.

New reversible Cressi-Sub Delta 2 snorkel (it can be used on the right and left side), designed for snorkeling, free-diving and scuba diving.
The Delta 2 Semi-Dry snorkel incorporates all the features of the Delta 1, but utilizes a pre-bent lower silicone section making it ideal for snorkeling.
The purge snorkel 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 inner); this is curved so that the mouthpiece arrives at the diver's mouth with a gentle, natural bend.
The mask attachment is the rapid, height adjustable clip-on. Other comfort enhancing
features of the Cressi-Sub Delta 2 snorkel, even for the most demanding
professional divers are:
- Soft flexible non-corrugated tube is used eliminate water gathering in the tube
- A wave guard is utilized, minimizing water entry during surface use
- A large exhaust insures easy water clearing
The Rondine Pro Star full-foot fin is the latest innovation by Cressi
regarding fullfoot fins. It is derived directly from the
revolutionary manufacturing technology and materials that produced the Gara 2000 fins and subsequently Master Frog, Space Frog and Rondine Pro Light.
The Rondine Pro Star is made from a special high-tech polymer,
that is extremely lightweight but at the same time very
penetrating, which makes it indisputably superior to the
classical EVA copolymer, normally used to make fins.
Further, the blade of the Pro Star fins boasts an exceptional
innovation: a differentiated thickness. In fact, the
Pro Star fin blade is about 4mm thick in proximity to the foot and
becomes progressively thinner towards the edge of the
blade, where it becomes half as thick.
This revolutionary innovation makes for an even lighter,
flexible and penetrating blade at the end, while it
offers considerable resistance in the connecting area,
which must not bend at all during kicking.
Like all the Frog series, the Cressi-Sub Pro Star fin foot pocket, made from soft
elastomers, extends along the lower part of the blade,
so the blade itself remains undisturbed by the presence
of the foot pocket. The fin blade ends up with 20% more
useful surface, which in practice translates to more
efficient thrust.
The fin foot pocket has been redesigned, increasing the
width and changing the form. The Pro Star fin is therefore
extremely comfortable as well as being very easy to wear.
We would also like to point out the longer blade
structure that does not stop at the front section of the
foot, but continues right to the end of it, increasing
the longitudinal firmness of the blade itself and making
it possible for perfect transfer of the muscular work of
the leg to the Pro Star fin.
The extension of the side protection in black elastomers
is both useful and attractive; it also runs along the
front side of the blade and provides effective protective
action.
Who are the PRO STAR fins designed for:
All those divers who prefer closed, full-foot fins and who
expect top performance. Apart from the long blade Gara 2000s,
the Rondine Pro Stars are the most powerful dive fins Cressi
has ever produced, also suitable for use in scuba diving
and very satisfactory for every kind of activity:
skin-diving, snorkeling and for popular use.
Cressi-Sub Pro Star fins special features:
- Full-foot fin blade made from a special high-tech polymer with superior features
- Innovative differentiated thickness in the fin blade
- Single moulded fin blade that is extended right along the fin for optimum transmission of kicking efforts
- Foot pocket created in the lower area of the blade with opening for toes
- New redesigned and enlarged fin foot pocket
- Wide black elastomer inserts
- Anti-drift flaps on the end of the blade
- Protective elastomer border right around the edge of the fin blade
- Sizes: from 37/38 to 45/46 euro (4/5 thru 10/11 U.S.)
- Fin Colors: yellow/black, silver/black, blue/black, black/black
