Cressi Air BCD

The new Air from Cressi-sub is a fully weight integrated back inflation BCD with an exclusive quick release weight system. Using heavy duty, 1000-denier Cordura, the Air utilizes two quick release weight pockets positioned over two extra large utility pockets.

As with all Cressi BC's, the Air is equipped with to over pressure/pull dump relief valves (one located on over the right shoulder and the other conveniently located in the lower right hand corner of the bladder).

The Air features Cressi-sub's exclusive airway inflator. This inflator is equipped with easy to operate manual pull dump and soft touch inflation. The inflator is compact, light weight, and easy to handle.

Additional features include a patented Freematic waist strap system that allows the BC to inflate away from the diver eliminating squeeze, adjustable lumbar support back pack, and expandable gusset bladder. Strategically placed stainless steel 'D'-rings, a rear carry handle and accessory clips round out the package.

The new Platina Hyperdry mask has introduced a unique purge valve that works from the bottom of the mask skirt, where water most often accumulates, and the easiest place for it to be forced out. The one-way valve is located on lower left cheek portion of the mask, strategically located to keep this mask "Hyperdry." This design makes the purge valve almost invisible from the outside.

The mask skirt is constructed of soft but firm crystal silicone with a double feather edge for a tight seal against the skin. The mask is low volume and hydrodynamically designed. The two window mask design has the narrowest center joints which eliminates the vision field split. The dual lenses can be exchanged for vision correction lenses available in diopters from -1.5 through -8.0 in 0.5 increments. One touch buckles make for easy adjustment of the mask strap.

The Platina comes in seven different colors; ask for it at a local TUSA dealer. For more information, contact Tabata USA, Dept. CDN, 2380 Mira Mar Ave., Long Beach, CA 90815, (562) 498-3708.

Many divers prefer a full-foot pocket or closed-heel design for better fin control and a more direct connection to the fin blade. This type of fin is preferred by many free-divers and snorkelers but is also ideal for scuba divers.

Cressi-sub's new Rondine Light fin refines the full-foot pocket design to a high degree. The fin is built around the same successful design features as Cressi-sub's Gara, Master Frog and Space Frog fins. The blade of this fin is made from an extremely light, yet rigid material that offers exceptional "snap" allowing increased thrust with minimal effort. The foot pocket design is extremely soft and comfortable yet durable. A pull tab on the back of the foot pocket makes putting on the fins easy.

These new ultra light weight fins come in four colors including yellow, blue, black and green.

The Cressi-sub Rondine Light fin is available at most Cressi-sub dealers. Visit the Cressi-sub website at www.cressi-sub.it.
