Product Information
Full details
The Cressi F-Dual & Supernova Dry combo is an ideal choice for recreational snorkellers seeking a reliable, high-visibility setup that prioritizes comfort and water prevention. It provides a seamless, frameless mask design for expansive underwater views and a specialized dry-top snorkel that keeps breathing tubes clear of water during submersion; however, users with specific facial geometries may find the fixed strap buckles require extra adjustment to achieve a watertight seal.

FAQs
Is the F-Dual mask suitable for scuba diving?
While designed primarily for snorkelling, the low volume makes it a functional backup mask for scuba, though dedicated dive masks often feature tempered glass with specific safety ratings.
How do I clear the snorkel if water gets inside?
Perform a firm, sharp exhale into the mouthpiece. The design of the Supernova allows most water to exit through the bottom purge valve.
Can I replace the strap if it breaks?
Yes, Cressi provides compatible replacement straps that can be threaded through the integrated buckle housing.
Is the silicone hypoallergenic?
Yes, Cressi uses high-grade, hypoallergenic silicone that is gentle on the skin for long-term wear.
What is the best way to store the set?
Store in a protective mask box to prevent the frameless lens from being scratched and keep it out of direct UV light.
Troubleshooting
Mask is fogging up during use
Apply an anti-fog solution or dilute baby shampoo to the inner lens surface and rinse lightly before putting on the mask.
Water leaking into the mask
Check that hair is not caught under the silicone skirt and ensure the strap is positioned correctly at the widest point of your head.
Snorkel valve feels stuck
Rinse the snorkel thoroughly with fresh water to remove dried salt or sand that may be obstructing the floating valve mechanism.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Wide, clear field of view thanks to the frameless lens

- Compact and lightweight for easy transport

Cons

- Single lens design requires careful storage to avoid scratches
- Dry-top valve may restrict airflow if submerged rapidly for long periods
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, ensure the mask lens is treated with a defogger or a light application of non-gel toothpaste to remove factory residue. To set the fit, place the mask on your face without the strap to check for a natural seal. Adjust the buckles so the strap sits comfortably at the crown of your head, ensuring it is not overtightened, which can cause leaks. After each session, rinse both the mask and snorkel with fresh, lukewarm water to remove salt and debris. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature aging of the silicone skirt.
