FAQs
Is this set suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Cressi Horizon & Scilla set is an excellent choice for beginners due to its ease of use, comfortable fit, and wide field of vision, which enhances confidence underwater.
Can the mask lenses be replaced?
The Horizon mask features tempered glass lenses. While designed for durability, they are not typically user-replaceable. For significant damage, replacement of the mask may be necessary.
How do I clean the purge valve on the snorkel?
After rinsing the snorkel, you can gently press the purge valve to ensure any debris is dislodged. If it appears blocked, you may need to carefully remove it for cleaning, following manufacturer guidelines if available.
What is the difference between the Horizon mask and other Cressi masks?
The Horizon mask is specifically designed with a panoramic four-lens system to offer an exceptionally wide field of vision, distinguishing it from single-lens or dual-lens Cressi masks.
Is the silicone used in this set safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, the set uses high-quality, hypoallergenic silicone, which is designed to be soft, comfortable, and gentle on the skin, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions.
Can this snorkel be used for scuba diving?
While primarily designed for snorkeling, the Scilla snorkel can be used during surface intervals of scuba diving. However, for underwater breathing during scuba, a dedicated scuba regulator is required.
Troubleshooting
Mask leaks during use.
Ensure the silicone skirt is clean and free of hair or debris. Adjust the mask strap for a snugger fit, but avoid over-tightening. Ensure the mask is positioned correctly on your face before tightening.
Snorkel fills with water unexpectedly.
Confirm the top valve is functioning correctly and is not obstructed. Ensure the snorkel is positioned vertically in the water. If water enters, use the purge valve to clear it.
Fogging inside the mask.
For new masks, apply a small amount of anti-fog solution or saliva to the inside of the lenses and rinse briefly before use. Ensure the mask is properly sealed. In the field, a quick rinse with fresh water can help temporarily.
Discomfort from the snorkel mouthpiece.
Adjust the position of the mouthpiece in your mouth. Ensure the strap holding the snorkel to the mask is not positioned in a way that causes pressure on your jaw.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides an exceptionally wide field of vision for enhanced underwater observation.
- Comfortable fit due to high-quality, hypoallergenic silicone components.
- Effective water prevention with the snorkel's top valve and easy clearing with the purge valve.
- Durable construction designed for comfort and longevity.
- Lightweight and convenient for travel and active use.
Cons
- The four-lens mask design might require slightly more effort for cleaning compared to single-lens masks.
- While internal volume is reasonable, it is not considered ultra-low profile.
- May not be the best choice for advanced freediving requiring minimal internal volume.
- The specific fit of the mask depends on individual facial structure.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Cressi Horizon & Scilla set typically comes pre-assembled. Ensure the mask strap is adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit – it should not feel too tight. The snorkel can be easily attached to the mask strap using its built-in clip.
Compatibility: This set is designed for adults and is suitable for snorkeling, skin diving, and general underwater exploration. It is compatible with most standard mask strap adjustments.
Care: After each use, rinse both the mask and snorkel thoroughly with fresh, clean water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. 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.
