Product Information
Full details
This Cressi Big Eyes Evolution & Alpha Ultra Dry combo set in black is designed for snorkelers and divers seeking a comfortable, high-vision experience underwater. Its key benefit is the wide field of view provided by the Big Eyes Evolution mask coupled with the reliable dry functionality of the Alpha Ultra Dry snorkel. A potential consideration is that, like any mask, a proper seal may require some adjustment for individual facial structures.

FAQs
How do I prevent my mask from fogging?
Rinse the inside of the mask lenses with fresh water before use. Apply a commercial anti-fog solution or the traditional "spit and rinse" method. Ensure lenses are clean of any oils or residue.
What is the main advantage of the Big Eyes Evolution mask?
The primary advantage is its unique lens shape, which provides an exceptionally wide, panoramic field of vision, greatly enhancing your view underwater.
How does the Alpha Ultra Dry snorkel prevent water entry?
It features a special float mechanism at the top that seals the tube shut when submerged, preventing water from entering. It also has a purge valve at the bottom to expel any water that might enter.
Is this set suitable for beginners?
Yes, the comfortable design and reliable dry snorkel make it a good choice for beginners who want a hassle-free snorkeling experience.
Can I use this set for scuba diving as well as snorkeling?
Yes, this set is suitable for both snorkeling and recreational scuba diving due to its comfortable fit and wide vision.
What material is the mask skirt made of?
The mask skirt is made of high-quality silicone, which provides a soft, flexible, and watertight seal against the face.
How should I clean and store my gear?
Rinse both the mask and snorkel with fresh water after each use. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong their lifespan. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Mask leaking
Ensure the silicone skirt is clean and free of debris. Adjust the mask strap for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure facial hair is not interfering with the seal. Try the "hair float" method by lightly wetting eyebrows.
Snorkel flooding unexpectedly
Check that the dry top mechanism is functioning correctly and not obstructed. Ensure the purge valve at the bottom is clear of debris. If diving deeper, the dry top may not seal perfectly against pressure; clear the snorkel using the purge valve.
Lenses fogging up
Apply a quality anti-fog solution before each use. Rinse lenses with fresh water before entering the water. Ensure the inside of the lenses is clean.
Discomfort from mask strap
Adjust the strap to a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the strap is not twisted. For extended wear, consider a mask with a wider or silicone-split strap design if this model proves uncomfortable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The mask and snorkel are typically pre-assembled or require simple attachment of the snorkel to the mask strap. Ensure the snorkel retainer clip is securely fastened to the mask strap. Before first use, it's recommended to wash the mask lenses with mild soap and water to remove any manufacturing residue. Apply an anti-fog solution or use the "spit method" on the inside of the lenses to prevent fogging during use.
Compatibility: This set is designed for snorkeling and recreational diving. The snorkel is compatible with most Cressi masks and generally with other masks that have a standard snorkel keeper slot.
Care: After each use, rinse the mask and snorkel thoroughly with fresh, clean water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Store the set in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a mask box or a protective bag to prevent scratches on the lenses and damage to the silicone skirt.
