FAQs
What makes this mask 'frameless'?
The 'frameless' design means the mask does not have a rigid plastic frame around the lenses. Instead, the lenses are directly attached to the silicone skirt, reducing weight and bulk.
How much does the field of view increase?
The inclined lenses provide an increased field of view of approximately +25% compared to standard masks.
Is this mask suitable for travel?
Yes, its frameless design allows it to fold flat, making it very easy to pack and carry, ideal for divers who travel frequently.
What is the best way to prevent fogging?
Before each dive, clean the inside of the lenses with an anti-fog solution or a small amount of saliva, then give them a light rinse. Proper mask sealing also helps.
Can I replace the strap if it breaks?
Yes, the strap is replaceable and compatible with most standard mask strap replacement systems. However, the high-quality materials used by Cressi aim for long-term durability.
What is the material of the skirt?
The mask features a high-quality silicone skirt, designed for comfort and a secure, watertight seal.
Is this mask suitable for prescription lenses?
The Cressi F1 Frameless Mask is not designed to accommodate prescription lenses. For prescription needs, please consider Cressi's range of prescription-ready masks.
Troubleshooting
Mask leaks around the skirt.
Ensure the silicone skirt is completely flat against the skin, with no hair or debris trapped. Adjust the strap for a snug fit, but avoid overtightening. Re-apply anti-fog solution or clean lenses.
Lenses fog up during use.
Properly clean the lenses with anti-fog solution or toothpaste (a non-abrasive type) and rinse thoroughly. Ensure the mask is properly sealed.
Difficult to clear water from the mask.
Ensure the mask is ultra-low volume and the strap is adjusted correctly. Practice clearing techniques with shallow water.
Strap is uncomfortable.
Adjust the strap to a snug but not excessively tight fit. The frameless design should provide a good seal with minimal strap tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Before first use, wash the mask with mild soap and water to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Apply anti-fog solution to the inside of the lenses and rinse lightly, or use saliva, to prevent fogging during the dive.
- Place the mask on your face, ensuring the silicone skirt is flat against your skin, not trapped by hair.
- Gently pull the strap over the back of your head. Adjust for a snug, but not overly tight, fit. A proper seal should be achieved without significant strap tension.
Compatibility:
This mask is designed for scuba diving and snorkeling. It is compatible with most standard diving masks straps and accessories. It is available in various colors, including Blue, White, Yellow, Pink, and Black.
Care:
- Rinse the mask thoroughly with fresh water after every use to remove salt and chlorine.
- Store the mask in its protective case (if provided) or in a place where the lenses will not be scratched.
- Avoid exposing the silicone skirt to excessive heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can degrade the material.
- Clean the lenses and skirt periodically with mild soap and water.
