Cressi Duke Full Face Mask - Integral Mask Great Vision Snorkeling with Dry Tube

I realy enjoy swimming with this mask

Excellent Full Face Mask,Highly recommended & Friendly delivery Team of Amazon People.

Unfortunately did not meet expectation. You can not equalise the mask so it ends up sucking onto your face and leaves a mark for many many hours. I bought the small as to the guidance of measuring from chin to eye line, so it fits perfect. Does not fog up as it says. Ok for short time of floating around the water and looking down. Not great for doing pool laps as the heavy breathing causes it to suck on fairly tight which is very very uncomfortable.

ماسك مائي قوي ومناسب جدا للطفو

The mask was delivered broken, ruined a birthday gift

There was a time that i could not breath at all while using the mask. Could have killed me if i did not remove the mask quickly

Water is entering in to the mask. Can't take breath

Very good quality

I enjoy my snorkeling (as well as some scuba) but thought I'd hang on until I had actually used this mask before giving it a review.It seems well made, has decent quality seals (plus some spares for the valves) and looks the part.Time will tell how well the plastics last, but I guess I need to be realistic.I bought the larger size and it's a good fit, with a harness that is comfortable and easy to adjust.The face seals are comfortable, soft and easily cope with my (short) beard and are very effective on the surface and in shallow dives.Visibility is excellent and there is very little fogging as the seal around the nose and mouth is good - though there is a slow build up of spit/snot which you can only really clear on the surface.Similarly, if you do get water in the face section, there's no way of clearing it without taking the mask off on the surface - though this is easy to do.So all in all - a good bit of kit for finning around on the surface looking down and enjoying the view.The technique is a little different from a standard mask and snorkel (it might feel a bit claustrophobic to some), but I liked it and can use it comfortably for much longer.However, once submerged it has its limitations. As pressure increases with depth, I found the mask "wobbles" on its seals. Whilst a bit distracting, these remained watertight down to a reasonable depth - but I shall be keeping my standard mask & snorkel for more serious stuff!

I’m an experienced scuba diver and snorkeller.The Cressi Duke full face mask works well as a snorkel mask.Take care with the sizing and the seal around the face works superbly.The breathing is not quite as direct as using a conventional snorkel, your breath is filling an air space rather than being drawn directly through a tube, but this is traded off against the fact that you can breathe either through your nose or your mouth, or both together.This does not effect the efficiency of breathing, it’s just a different feeling.The only thing that disappointed me was Cressi’s choice of material for the actual lens.It’s VERY soft.In fairness, the instruction booklet does day to avoid any type of rubbing of the lens, as this may cause surface scratching.After being used in saltwater, then rinsed clean with fresh water, the standard thing to do with any mask is to gently dry it, to avoid water residue marks. Something I’ve been doing for decades with other masks, without any issues.When I attempted to gently dry the lens of the Duke with a soft towel, it was immediately apparent that this was marking the inside of the lens.After being used just twice, my mask now has hundreds of tiny swirl marks on the lens, which don't really cause any vision issues at this stage, but are very annoying.This also leaves me very wary about having anything at all in contact with the lens. Like just putting it down for instance.Also worthy of mention, due to the relatively high volume of air in the mask, compared to a conventional diving mask, it presses onto the face much more readily with any pressure change.Therefore anything other than surface use is impossible. (Diving down a few metres to look closer at something is a definite no no).Again, in fairness, this is detailed in the instruction booklet.Overall a great product but let down slightly by using a VERY SOFT material for the front of the mask.

Mein Fazit nach 14 Tagen Mittelmeer (ca. 20-30 Stunden): die beste Lösung, die ich kenne.Pro:Weniger Wasser geschluckt.Bessere Sicht.Natürliches AtmenCon:Tauchen ist schwieriger.Gelegentlich Erstickungsgefühl nach Auftauchen.Vorneweg: Ich habe zuvor im Urlaub immer nur einfache Auge-Nasen-Masken mit simplen Schnorchel benutzt. Es konnte also nur besser werden. Ich habe mit dieser Maske, trotz teilweise 50 cm Wellen, weniger Wasser geschluckt, als sonst in 1-2 Stunden mit offenem Schnorchel. Wenn man ruhig atmet, kann man den Wellengang praktisch ignorieren.Das Sichtfeld ist spürbar besser als bei einer normalen Maske. Die Maske beschlägt auch sehr wenig, weil immer Frischluft am Sichtbereich vorbei geleitet wird. Die feuchtere Atemluft wird auf einem anderen Kanal abgeleitet. Wenn das Wasser kühler ist, kann es trotzdem zu leichten "Nebel" kommen. Weil es aber in den meisten Tagen gar keinen Beschlag gab, habe ich nicht in die Maske gespuckt. Das hätte vermutlich auch geholfen.Tauchen ist gut möglich, die Maske schließt zuverlässig. Allerdings hat man durch die Maske relativ viel zusätzlichen Auftrieb. Deshalb habe ich oft komplett ausgeatmet, um gut abtauchen zu können. Das wurde mir 2-3 Mal sehr unangenehm, wenn die Maske nach dem auftauchen dicht bleibt (Unterdruck in der Maske). Während man beim Schnorchel einfach das Mundstück ausspuckt, bekommt man mit dieser Maske erstmal keine Luft. Entweder man hebt die Maske an, oder atmet so kräftig ein, das man Luft (mit einem furzenden Geräusch) an der Maske vorbei zieht. Man sollte also nur so Tauchen, das man nach dem Auftauchen noch etwas Luft zum ausatmen hat, oder 1-2 Sekunden für Workarounds. Am Ende seines Sauerstoff-Vorrats hat man wirklich keine Lust auf solche Logik-Rätsel.Die Maske sitzt bei mir gut, aber das dürfte sehr individuell sein. Ich habe eine größere Nase, und die scheuert je nach Position an den etwas unsauberen Schweißpunkten für die Nasenbrücke. Nachdem ich den Grat weggepult hatte, war das Problem weg. Die Befestigung für die Bänder ist auch etwas scharfkantig. Das merkte ich aber nur, wenn eine Weile seitlich auf die Maske klatschte. Zuhause werde ich auch diesen Grat mit etwas Schmirgelpapier entfernen.

Questo proverbio si sposa perfettamente nel caso di questa maschera…vi racconto la mia esperienza.: “quest’estate insieme ad una coppia di amici abbiamo comprato 2 maschere facciali e le abbiamo portate con noi in vacanza!! E’ stata una piacevole scoperta, perché questa maschera ti permette di respirare normalmente con la bocca e con il naso come se non stessi in acqua. Detto questo, e passata la novità del momento….la maschera, è risultata si molto carina, ma questo e nient’altro…in pratica quando vai ad esaminare in dettaglio…è risultata poco funzionale perché dopo pochi giorni di utilizzo iniziavano a cedere le guarnizioni e la maschera era quasi sempre appannata risultando ben poco adatta allo scopo per cui è stata acquistata!!! 20 euro buttati!!!”La modalità di immersione però mi è piaciuta, quindi, avendo in programma una settimana di ferie al mare, ho pensato di acquistare questa CRESSI, nonostante costasse 2 volte e mezza quella che avevo comprato in estate, con la speranza che non fosse solo nome!Aspettative assolutamente ripagate!!! La maschera viene consegnata in un sacchetto comodissimo per portarla in giro. L’aspetto estetico del prodotto è uno dei suoi punti forti ma non è il principale, infatti, quello che fa di questa maschera CRESSI uno dei TOP nel settore, è, sia la sua visibilità, che risulta nettamente più ampia rispetto alle altre grazie alla sua forma schiacciata, che le sue valvole anti-appannamento che non hanno mai dato segno di cedimento tutto il tempo di utilizzo. Per finire…quasi dimenticavo…è dotata di valvola che ottura il buco se vai sott’acqua, e giusto per non essere banali…guarnizioni di riserva in omaggio!! Brava CRESSI!!!!

Really nice quality and works great. I bought for my wife and measured for sizing as per the instructions. She was on the cusp for the larger size, so we oredered the bigger one. However, she struggled withi it as it was slightly too large so water was entering the mask. That said, it worked great when I used for myself. So lesson here is if you are not sure of sizing, probably safer to go with the smaller size.
