Cressi Diving Gear

Cressi is a diving company with a history of product development and innovation. The Italian company Cressi, which is entirely family owned and operated, was the first to manufacture products like the diving mask with dedicated nose pocket and the adjustable open heel fins.

Egidio and Nanni Cressi, two Italian brothers who shared a love of the ocean and a talent for technical design and development, founded Cressi diving, a family-owned business, in 1939. They started by making Cressi spearguns and masks to help them hunt more effectively, and by 1946 their creations were so well-liked that they decided to found Cressi. The Cressi family still owns the business today, and they remain dedicated to creating high quality goods for people who love the water such as Cressi snorkels and Cressi Dive suits.
