Bob, thank you for this review! I just received my Cressi a1, just tested and indeed NO FOG!!! fit is very nice for my medium narrow face, i hope to try it soon in the blue. Best regards👌🤓
The Cressi no-fog system works pretty well. If the A 1 doesn‘t fit your face or you want a smaller volume mask there is also the Cressi Calibro with the same system.
I sold one of the Cressi ZEUS today to a gentleman, I told him "It Works" he laughed and said, "oh really, I thought it was just a gimmick" ... I liked the fit, I'm a free diver.
Just recieved the Tusa mask for free :O with my purchase of other scuba gear so had to look it up and I'm pleased to hear your reivew! Looking forward to try it out this summer. :D
I have the Cressi A1 mask as well, and can vouch for Cressi’s no-fog claim. My only beef is the smudge marks on the inside (treated side) of the glass, which build up over time. Does anyone (Cressi perhaps) have a recommendation for removing these marks without affecting the anti-fog treatment? I am tempted to try a hair dryer to apply a bit of heat to the treatment, but wanted to wait and see if someone had a better idea!
Tim, I don't have too strong a prescription but some , again some of the mask out there half Optic choices.. Plus there are a few companies out there that do full on bonded prescription applications.
Does the Scubapro D-Mask need extensive preparation to remove the silicone from the glass when you first buy it to prevent fogging? How did you clean it and not damage the tint in the glass please?
Thanks great question, of these masks you need to be especially careful with the D-Mask and A-1. I just use warm water, not HOT, and a mild dish washing liquid and wash the mask at least twice. You may see these vids on burning a mask lens, CAREFUL I seen so many masks ruined doing that.. Thanks Bob C
@@DiversSupplyYT I have 2 passios, scuba diving and horology. I love y'alls gear reviews; my wife used your women's bcd videos to choose her BC. It's Diver Supply reviews and what watch will Bob wear today. 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for all the great content.I have a Tusa freedom hd and I would like to know if the fitment of the outer and inner skirt of the Cressi A1 is similar?
Any idea why the A1 doesn't show up on the Cressi site? Is this a new mask or an older one? I'm confused. They talk a lot about their new masks with improved air circulation to limit fogging, but not the coated lens that this one has. Also worried this lens coating won't last long?
Hi Brian, It's interesting that some MFG"s have different rules for what shows up where. Some products are stores only and others are internet ok'd. Not sure exactly why and how they do that...
@@DiversSupplyYT Yes, very strange! How would you rate the A1 vs a ScubaPro Spectra? Different masks for sure. (My LDS doesn't carry either brand, so i'm curious of your opinion). Thanks! (I currently dive a Cressi Big Eyes Evo.. and i have a mustache/stuble). ;) Always looking for a better fit...
The A1 looks like a great mask for my daughter. She loves to snorkel but fogging is always an issue for her. As she learns skills in SCUBA class it won’t matter but until then it looks like a great option for both of us. Also will the Tusa Intega be added to your site soon? It also looks like a great option.
I contacted our Website folks and advised the Intega is not showing up. I did check stock and the ATL (Marietta) store 770-419-1976 has the largest selection and Jacksonville 904-646-3828 has the 2nd widest color choice.

Excellent Leo, dove mine again this morning.. Regards Bob C
Thank you very much for the video, I have been looking for a video that talks about the Cressi A1 for some time... Excellent
Glad it was helpful Sergio ! Regards Bob C
Totally recommend the D-mask for fully bearded divers. I’m impressed.

Thanks for info. I just purchased the A1 while in the Florida keys. Noticed the lack of fog while using them before I found out it was a feature.
Thanks for sharing, Nice feature right... Regards Bob C
Bob, what do you use for vision correction? Contacts? Are there options to add an adjustment to a diver's favorite mask?
Thanks,
Tim

Why does the cressi mask lens looks like it’s fading or starting to dull
The Cressi A1 in this video is one of the yellow tinted A1's. There is also a Clear version.
I nhave had no luck at all with mask, full face etc, so the cressi is really good
Hi Kevin, I too am super picky about my masks. SEAAC just asked me to review their newest mask the ICON. Thanks for your thoughts ! Bob C
So it's ok to use dawn soap to clean the lens on the cressi A1?
#1 don't scrub, don't burn and don't use Mr clean Magic Eraser or toothpaste. I gently hand wash clean my A1 with Dawn about once a month...
Excelent!!
Thank You !
A1 no fog? Take my money
What Color ??? LOL
@@DiversSupplyYT Wrong continent ;-)
I love your PC set-up
