Cressi Occhio Plus

[Ronnie]

Been trying out my new Cressi Occhio Plus mask in Greece and loved it. Comfortable, great visibility, never mists

However, I've been getting intermittent leak. Sometimes will work perfectly, other times will keep leaking even with what feels like precisely the same set up.

Possibly beard related. Any ideas anyone?

Sounds like the beard is the culprit. It's a common problem. You may want to see if the problems are more pronounced after you haven't shaved or trimmed your beard, as opposed to when you've groomed more recently.

Okay, will trim close for my next dive and see how it goes - thanks for the advice

 

[BatRay]

No problem. Do you have any additional feedback about the mask? I'm currently shopping for a new one.

I'm probably too much of a noob to give a balanced opinion, but I think it's great. Hardly needs any equalisation, and if you do it never mists. Comfortable to wear, no drag, great vis.

Only issue I have with it (other than the beard related leaking) is it magnifies, but that might be a common feature with twin lens masks - I wouldn't know because it's the first one I've owned.

Those are good qualities for a mask. Thanks for the input.

Magnification isn't something you can do away with, unless you have liquid goggles.
