Cressi Big Eyes

£31.00 RRP £38.00  save 18%

The mask that completely revolutionised the sector because it introduced new and exclusive principles that are likewise milestones. 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 that is similar to skin-diving models.
The soft silicone skirt and the broad seal ring against the face make the mask very comfortable to wear. Two revolving buckles guarantee quick and precise strap adjustment. An excellent mask for snorkeling and scuba diving.

Comfortable fitting mask I

Comfortable fitting mask I'm using as a spare. Good field of vision and the quality you'd expect from Cressi. Wore it on a few dives in the Red Sea recently.

Great downward vision but not so great to the sides

Great downward vision but not so great to the sides. As with a few others, I had no problem clearing the mask but it did tend to have a little puddle/film of water in the bottom just around my nostrils. Not really a problem for me but I imagine some people may strongly dislike it (this could be down to my clearing technique though). Overall a good mask and good quality but don't expect anything super special.

Good visibility and pretty comfortable to wear

Good visibility and pretty comfortable to wear. Easy to clear and equalise, but I've beard and found it let in water past my moustache sometimes - Easy enough to clear, but a little annoying - although it may be as much of a problem with any mask. Overall, very pleased with my choice.

An excellent mask that has the qualities of both comfort and exceptional vision. New masks can sometimes have the problem of "misting" but I had no such problem with the Big Eyes, very good value and a pleasure to use.

A very good mask which came with the corrective lenses installed. It is quite a large mask so will not suit people with small faces. Gives a great field of view.

Normally i find it really hard to get mask to fit without some sort of leakage but this mask does the job perfectly. I have found with both big eyes ive owned that they are easily steamed up but this is easily fixed with toothpaste.

Very nice mask

Very nice mask. Had no problems clearing it. I actually flooded it deliberately early in the first dive I used it to see if I would have problems and it was as easy as my old Tusa to clear. The vision is greatly improved compared to the tusa.

In 15 years of diving I have used a lot of different masks, but none have been as good as the 'BIG EYES' for vision & comfort. Vision is excellent, I hardly have to move my head to look at my gauges or clip things on or off my B.C.D. Clearing is easy should you need to, not that mine ever floods, unless I do it deliberately, & I don't know I've got it on, it really is that comfortable. An fantastic mask, I wouldn't use any other now.

All round great mask excellent vertical visibility average horizontal visibility

All round great mask excellent vertical visibility average horizontal visibility. Very comfortable on my face. Good seal. This is the 2nd one I have owned. With the first one I had, the plastic that holds the coloured trim ring started to break. The mask no longer sealed - not a good thing. I didn't drop; step or other wise abuse the mask.

A great mask for clarity

A great mask for clarity & vision, however virtually impossible to clear properly due to the deep inverted tear drop shaped lenses. This became a real problem.
