CRESSI Pacifico Freediving Mask - Oval Tempered Glass, Natural Rubber Skirt, Retro Metal Ring

The CRESSI Pacifico is a retro-styled single-lens freediving mask with an oval tempered-glass lens and a natural rubber skirt for a wide view and reliable seal.

Inspired by a popular 1950s shape and updated with modern materials, the Pacifico blends vintage aesthetics with contemporary performance. Designed in Italy and manufactured in Taiwan, this mask pairs a large oval tempered glass lens with a rust-resistant metal mounting ring and a soft natural rubber skirt to deliver clear vision, comfortable fit, and user-friendly adjustability for freediving, snorkeling, and scuba diving.

What makes the Pacifico lens and frame different from other single-lens masks?

The Pacifico uses a single, oval tempered glass lens to maximize the field of view with a clean, uninterrupted sightline. Tempered glass resists scratches and impacts better than regular glass, while the metal oval ring provides rigid support and a vintage look without sacrificing durability.

• Large oval tempered-glass lens for expansive peripheral vision.
• Metal oval mounting ring that resists corrosion and keeps lens secure.
• Classic single-lens layout favored by photographers and traditionalists.

How does the skirt and strap design affect comfort and fit?

The skirt is molded from natural rubber to create a soft, flexible seal that conforms to most face shapes. Natural rubber grips the skin and delivers a comfortable seal for longer surface swims, freedives, or recreational scuba sessions, while the strap is integrated to minimize pressure points behind the head.

• Natural rubber skirt for a secure, adaptable seal on many faces.
• Banda-style rubber strap that distributes tension evenly.
• Design helps reduce leak-prone areas common to split-lens masks.

Are adjustments and maintenance straightforward for casual divers?

Yes—the Pacifico includes easily adjustable buckles so you can fine-tune strap tension quickly on the boat or shore. The simple construction and durable materials make routine care simple: rinse with fresh water after use, avoid prolonged sun exposure, and store away from direct heat to preserve the natural rubber.

• User-friendly quick-adjust buckles for fast strap changes.
• Durable tempered glass and rust-resistant metal reduce maintenance needs.
• Recommended care: fresh-water rinse, dry in shade, store cool.

How does the Pacifico perform for underwater photography and freediving?

Its unobstructed single-lens design gives photographers and freedivers a broad visual canvas and easier face positioning for long dives. The mask’s low internal volume and secure rubber skirt also help with equalization and streamline in the water compared with bulkier multi-lens designs.

• Single-lens view aids framing for underwater photography and videography.
• Low internal volume supports freediving equalization and comfort.
• Stable skirt seal helps prevent distracting leaks during extended breath-hold sessions.

Who is this for: The CRESSI Pacifico suits divers who appreciate a vintage look combined with modern materials—freedivers, underwater photographers, snorkeling enthusiasts, and scuba divers who prefer a simple single-lens mask. It’s ideal for users seeking a comfortable natural rubber skirt, wide optics, and a reliable, easy-to-adjust mask backed by CRESSI’s heritage in dive equipment. The mask comes with a 2-year limited warranty and reflects decades of design refinements in a classic package.
