Comments about Cressi Minima Mask, All Black:

I use this as a primary or backup mask in freediving and scubadiving. The little volume makes for an ideal vacuum at greater depths and secures the mask well. It sits great on the surface as well although it does have a flimsy strap (that i recommend one upgrades). It is incredibly small when folded and fits any BCD pocket.

It's a great little number and I strenuously recommend it!

Don't understand the gripes I have read here, this mask is clearly superior to my professional dive masks in my gear. Yes the strap is too thin and slips, I replaced with 3/8" black surgical hose and executed non-stop, 40 laps in an olympic sized pool. I used the combat-swimmer stroke, involves more movement and could not get the mask to leak. Superior to clear and almost no buoyancy. I have a medium to large face, wear 7 1/2 hat size. Diving is even better with this mask, I am ordering another one. If anyone out there hates theirs, send me yours I'll pay you 10 Bucks for it. I would definitely recomend this to novice and pro alike. Clearing this mask takes a tiny snort, should have had one when I was beginning diving.

To start off, this mask is for shallow to deep diving, not swimming, snorkeling, water sports...
Due to the masks low volume profile, light weight and comfortable fit, it's not going to hug your face well enough for any quick head jerks at shallow depths but if you add a bit more pressure from dives it'll hold great.
As a somewhat noob freediver I love this mask compared to what I learned with (a regular snorkeling mask). It's much easier to equalize, my head feels slightly less buoyant and I've also noticed I can get to my target depths a bit easier and stay there a bit longer than before.
Oh and it's easier to plug your nose because of the thin rubber it's made out of, if that's how you clear your ears.

I am going to do a week long trip this week in Northern California, but I have tested the mask. Comments about it being delicate seem off to me. - A mask should be treated like your own eyes IMHO as a PADI Instructor and Commercial Diver and REC diver. While not as tough as some maske due to its small size and relatively delicate build, this is porecisely why it works so well, and I don't expect to encounter any particular issues. If you need a mask that purges faster than a sneeze, and that has adequate vision and travels well, this mask is for you generally. I got mine for [$] and at that cost, it is a definite back-up mask candidate for your gear, no matter what your requirements are.Tha's what I think. Thank you LeisurePro.com.Outstanding[...]prices so far.Vector

Great mask for diving deep which is what it is designed for.No discomfort at 10+ meters which is a first for me Not the best for floating on the surface.This is great for me ...it keeps my kids from stealing it!Strap feel too light but at deeper depths it is not needed.Looks super cool. A problem again for me related to the kids.I often find it in the tub.
