Cressi in South Africa
Cressi was officially founded in Genoa, Italy, in 1946, after the Cressi brothers had spent several years handcrafting masks and spearguns. In the shop it covers scuba, snorkelling, freediving, spearfishing and swimming, which makes it a practical single label for a family kitting out together. Lines marked Special Order are ordered in after purchase.
Scuba
The AC2 is an unbalanced piston first stage with external intermediate pressure adjustment, built for busy recreational use, and the MC9 SC, MC11 SC and T10-SC step up from it. The Leonardo 2.0 is a single-button entry computer with a user-changeable battery, with the Donatello, Cartesio and Da Vinci above it. BCDs include the Aquawing and Solid. See scuba regulators.
Masks, fins and spearfishing
Masks run from the F1 and Calibro to the Big Eyes Evolution, which takes prescription lenses; browse every model in masks. Gara Modular and Pro Light fins, Apache and Cherokee spearguns, and Fast and Diver wetsuits fill out the rest. A matched mask, snorkel, fin and suit set can be put together in the Cressi soft gear builder, or see scuba fins.
