FAQs
Is this set suitable for beginners?
Yes, the comfort of the mask and the functionality of the dry snorkel make this set suitable for beginners and recreational users.
Can I use this mask for scuba diving?
Yes, the Big Eyes Evolution mask is suitable for recreational scuba diving due to its comfortable fit and wide field of vision.
How do I clean the dry snorkel valve?

What is the primary advantage of the Big Eyes Evolution mask?
The primary advantage is its significantly increased field of vision compared to traditional masks, thanks to its unique lens shape.
How should I store my mask and snorkel?
Store the gear clean and dry in a cool, shaded place, ideally in a protective case or bag to prevent scratches and sun damage.
Can the snorkel be detached from the mask?
Yes, the snorkel typically attaches to the mask strap via a clip, allowing for easy detachment for cleaning or storage.
What makes the Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkel effective?
The Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkel features a specialized valve at the top that automatically seals shut when submerged, preventing water from entering the tube.
Troubleshooting
Mask leaks water
Ensure the silicone skirt is properly seated against the skin, free from hair or debris. Adjust the strap for a snugger fit. Try a different mask fitting technique (e.g., inhaling gently through the nose to create suction).
Snorkel fills with water
Verify that the dry top valve on the snorkel is functioning correctly and is not obstructed. Ensure the snorkel is fully submerged to activate the valve. Rinse the valve mechanism with fresh water to clear any debris.
Foggy mask lenses
Before use, apply a mask defogger solution or a small amount of diluted baby shampoo to the inside of the lenses and rinse lightly. Ensure the mask is clean and free from oils. Proper pre-dive preparation is key.
Stiff or difficult strap adjustment
Check the buckles for sand or salt buildup. Rinse them thoroughly with fresh water and ensure they move freely. If persistent, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the buckle mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Mask Fitting: Place the mask on your face, ensuring the silicone skirt lies flat against your skin without any hair trapped underneath. Inhale gently through your nose; the mask should create a light seal and stay in place without needing to hold it.
- Strap Adjustment: Adjust the mask strap using the buckles for a snug but comfortable fit. It should not feel excessively tight, as this can cause discomfort and leaks. The strap should rest on the back of your head, not too high or too low.
- Snorkel Attachment: The snorkel typically clips easily onto the mask strap. Ensure it is securely attached and positioned comfortably for breathing.
Compatibility:
- This combo set includes the Cressi Big Eyes Evolution Mask and the Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkel, designed to work together seamlessly.
- The mask is compatible with most standard mask defogging solutions.
- The snorkel attachment point is designed for Cressi mask straps but may fit other standard mask strap widths.
Care:
- Rinsing: After each use, rinse the mask and snorkel thoroughly with fresh, cold water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
- Cleaning: Gently wash the silicone skirt and lenses with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the gear to air dry completely in a shaded area before storing. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can degrade silicone and plastic.
- Storage: Store the mask and snorkel in a cool, dry place, preferably in a protective case or bag to prevent scratches on the lenses and damage to the silicone.
