This Cressi Big Eyes Evolution & Alpha Ultra Dry Snorkelling Combo in black is designed for recreational snorkelers and divers seeking a comfortable and wide-viewing experience. Its key benefit is the combined mask and snorkel's ability to offer excellent visibility and keep water out. A potential caveat is that the specialized lens shape might require a brief adjustment period for some users. This high-quality set features a mask with down-angled lenses for an expanded field of vision and a comfortable, tight seal, paired with a dry snorkel that minimizes water entry.

Yes, the dry snorkel makes it very beginner-friendly by reducing the likelihood of inhaling water. The wide vision of the mask also enhances confidence.
Rinse thoroughly with clean, fresh water after every use. Avoid using soap or chemicals, as they can degrade the silicone and damage lens coatings. Allow to air dry completely before storing.
Yes, the mask is suitable for scuba diving due to its excellent field of vision and comfortable fit. The dry snorkel can also be used, though some divers prefer a simpler snorkel design for deeper dives.
Cressi typically offers a limited warranty on their products. Please refer to the product packaging or Cressi's official website for specific warranty details, usually covering manufacturing defects.
The Alpha Ultra Dry snorkel has a valve at the top that closes when submerged or hit by a wave, preventing water from entering the tube. It opens again when you surface or begin to breathe.
While straps are generally durable, if a replacement is needed, it's best to contact Cressi customer support or a reputable dive shop. Many Cressi masks allow for strap replacement.
Spare parts like replacement skirts or strap buckles might be available through authorized Cressi dealers or their customer service. The snorkel's dry valve components may also be replaceable.
Ensure hair is not trapped between the skirt and your skin. Adjust the strap for a more secure fit, but avoid overtightening. Ensure the mask is the correct size and shape for your face.
The 'dry' feature is most effective against splashes and surface water. If fully submerged, some water may enter. Ensure the top valve is clear and unobstructed. Perform a purge breath to clear any residual water.
Apply a small amount of anti-fog solution or defogging drops to the inside of the dry lenses before use. A thorough rinse with fresh water after storage can also help. Avoid touching the inside of the lenses.
Check that the snorkel tube is not blocked by seaweed or debris. Ensure the dry valve at the top is functioning correctly and not stuck. Confirm the mask is creating a good seal, as a poor seal can sometimes affect perceived airflow.
Setup: The mask and snorkel typically come pre-assembled. Ensure the snorkel is securely attached to the mask strap using the provided clip. Adjust the mask strap for a snug but comfortable fit; it should not feel excessively tight. Test the seal by placing the mask on your face without the strap and inhaling gently – a slight suction should hold it in place.
Compatibility: This set is designed for adult users. The mask is generally compatible with most face shapes due to its flexible skirt, but individual fit should always be tested. The snorkel attaches to standard mask straps.
Care: After each use, rinse both the mask and snorkel thoroughly with fresh, cool 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, ideally in a mask box or protective bag to prevent scratches on the lenses and damage to the skirt.
