This is a review of the new Cressi Nano mask. Price is $79 at www.FreediveStore.com - Cressi Nano Mask. The very low internal volume and the frame/skirt integrated construction, put the Nano in the modern Micromask category along with Aualung Technisub Micromask, Speardiver Micromask, OMER Zero, and Sporasub Piranha. But unlike those masks, the Nano's skirt is nice and soft providing a better coverage and seal, with no leak under the nose even when contorting one's face. I feel the Cressi Nano will fit a much wider variety of faces than the other micromasks. I already had a few divers try it on and it fit everybody.
The Nano mask has very nice styling. The frame combines old school smooth curves, with a modern twist, allowing a very nice field of vision. It may be just my personal taste but I prefer this very much against the hard angular style which omer went with for its Zero and Piranha masks. They look alien to me, whereas I find the appearance of the Cressi Nano comforting, taking me back to my diving beginnings. The mask is available with two accent styles; gold and green. For myself I like the gold.
Disadvantages if any, there's no room on the frame of this mask to mount a GoPro camera. The relief in the area over the nose/middle of the mask will not allow even Xan's method of epoxying a mount. The mask strap is robust and looks durable, but is a tad less stretchy that what I'd consider ideal. If this is any real concern for someone, it's easily rectified by switching it out with a compatible softer mask strap.
