Cressi A1 No Fog Diving Mask

Cressi A1 No Fog Diving Mask

The No Fog Diving Mask That Actually Works

There’s nothing worse in diving than a foggy mask, well maybe running out of air, triggerfish, getting stung, putting on a cold wet wetsuit, DCS etc. After all we go diving to look at and explore the incredibly beautiful underwater world. Not many masks come out of the box completely fog free but the Cressi A1 does. You don’t have to treat the mask at all. If you do, you may well damage the coating.

Not only is it a no fog diving mask but it’s incredibly comfortable, stylish and very well priced. It comes in many colour options for the frame and the yellow lens option really make the colours pop underwater.

We’ve had quite a few guests and students purchase the masks. Straight out of the box and straight into the pool or ocean and so far 100% no fog.

What Causes Fogging?

In simple terms as possible and relative to scuba diving; hot air from your breath hits the cooler surface of your mask lens resulting in minute water droplets forming. No matter where you dive, the mask lens will always be cooler than your breath. That’s why we have to defog our masks.

What’s The Secret Sauce?

A no fog diving mask has been a long time coming. The technology was developed way back in 1966 by NASA to prevent astronauts visors from fogging. So yeah a very, very long time coming. There are films you can put into other masks to prevent fogging but this will eventually peel off, tricky to attach and is an extra cost. So how have Cressi achieved the no fogging? The film is attached during the manufacturing process, it’s chemically bonded onto the glass so it doesn’t come off.

The coating prevents or at least slows down the formation of the previously mentioned water droplets. You may occasionally get some fogging but swirl around a little water in your mask and you should be good to go again.

We sell the masks along with many other high quality Cressi products at our Patong sales office and at our main dive centre in Rawai. If you’re diving or learning how to dive with us, you’ll get a 10% discount.

I've been enjoying the incredible marine life in our oceans for over 25 years. 13 years ago I became a PADI professional in Phuket, hoping to introduce as many people as possible to the incredible beauty of the seas.

Having been fortunate enough to dive all over south east and especially Thailand, I enjoy sharing my diving experiences and passion on this blog.

Originally from Bristol in the UK, I swapped the frigid waters of the North Atlantic for the warm tropical seas around Thailand and can confidently say that I wouldn't go back

This is where PADI Underwater Navigator Specialty becomes an absolute must. If you're the kind of diver who keeps a vice like gr [...]

How Does Maya Bay Closure Affect Divers?

Maya Bay is probably the most famous beach in Thailand, unfortunately it's become a victim of its own success. It's been 18 years since the release of the movie that brought Maya bay its fame but the popularity hasn't diminished. Thousands of tourists alight everyday to visit the stunning location portrayed in 'The Beach' but most leave a little disappointed. Maya Bay really wasn't recognisable from the movie because speedboats and lon [...]

Surface Marker Buoys

Surface marker buoys (SMB) wasn't a standard to teach on PADI Open Water courses but it has been for quite a while now. Quite rightly so, surface marker buoys are a cheap yet essential piece of equipment. It's not an understatement to say that they can save lives. Along with mask and fins, it should be one of the first pieces of equipment you purchase. You can get yourself a basic surface marker buoy and finger reel for less than US$20. [...]

Leopard Sharks In Phuket

We call them leopard sharks in Phuket and in south east asia in general but the rest of the world refers to Stegostoma (covered mouth) fasciatum (banded) as zebra sharks. Along the west coast of the US and Mexico, a small hound shark - Triakis semifasciatais is commonly referred to as leopard shark. It must have been named by somebody who's never seen a leopard, the markings have no real resemblance. We'll stick to calling them leopards shark [...]
