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, 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 experience and passion on this blog.

Phuket Diving Trips – How it Works

Phuket diving trips are a fantastic day out but may not be what you're used to. We've dived in many places around the world and it's fair to say that scuba diving in Phuket differs greatly from anywhere else I've experienced. Most of the best diving spots in the world are fairly remote with limited infrastructure. Phuket is very different negating the necessity of staying in a dive resort or very close to the boat departure point. As a result [...]

Diving With Aliens

Ridley Scott's alien monster has had people hiding behind the couch for over 30 years. In Phuket we scuba dive everyday with an animal that has the same fearsome set of double jaws. Luckily the penchant for snacking on humans isn't also emulated. All bony fish have a set of pharyngeal teeth in their throat but moray eels have a complete pharyngeal second jaw that they can launch forward and use to swallow their unfortunate victims.
