Minima's internal volume - which is actually "minimal"- allows for extremely easy compensation, thus making it the ideal mask for apnea divers. Outstanding hydrodynamic properties, due to its specially shaped profile without sharp angles, follows the diver's face outline. Small overall size and very light weight, in spite of tempered glass lenses, offers perfect all-round vision, without fog or distortion.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub "Minima" Two Window Mask:
Strange but it leaked when I first began using it (with and w/out a snorkel), but now it fits perfectly fine and is comfortable. I don't need to tighten the straps to get a decent seal. Still, fit for small and/or narrow faces may be an issue.
It is the lightest weight by far of any mask that I know of. It also has almost no drag in the water. Great for pool work with or without fins. Pack it for the hotel pool even when you're not diving. Naturally, it's great choice for freediving.
Don't delude yourself. This tiny mask does not offer the same field of view of a Focus or a Superochio even (both of which I use). It also does not provide the same universal fit as the aforementioned masks. Nonetheless, it does offer a very useable field of view; greater than what you would expect by looking at it. I still prefer a larger lens for scuba dives.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub "Minima" Two Window Mask:
Very comfortable and soft. Minimum volume for greater visibility. Fogs easily but its small size makes it easy to take off, clean, put back on and blow water out of it, all of this underwater.

This mask is an excellent value. I've used it several times to go snorkeling throughout South Florida and have no complaints whatsoever.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub "Minima" Two Window Mask:
I have gone through many masks due to fitment problems (hurts, leaks or both). Higher volume masks required too much to equalize and poor fitment would not allow it in some. This mask, though not perfect, has been the best so far. My lip/nose area and brows no longer hurt after a full day of use. I tow behind a boat while looking for lobster holes and the drag/comfort on other masks has always been a problem. The drag/discomfort is not an issue with the minima. However, the strap, though comfortable, is a little flimsy when expected to hold a snorkle while towing on a dive skid. The small size does not encumber view, it is great (I use the black). My greatest concern is that when I go to replace this mask they are still in production. I have been unable to convince my father and bro-in-law to switch. They think it looks funny. While it is different, it is the difference from all of my other masks I have ever owned, or sampled that has me sold on the Cressi-Sub Minima! Now, if I can only find fins that I am as happy with I will be set.
