Cressi Atom Mask

Quick answer: The Cressi Atom is a radical, frameless freediving mask with an incredibly low internal volume, a semi-rigid co-molded core, an ergonomic nose shape that makes equalizing easier and a split strap of pure double-injected silicone. Cressi built it for expert freedivers and spearfishers.

Who it's for

This is a specialist's mask. Cressi stripped the materials down to the minimum to make the volume as low as possible, which means less air to equalize on a deep breath-hold. If you mainly scuba dive and want room and comfort, a conventional mask will probably suit you better.

Fit notes for bigger divers

Ultra-low-volume masks sit right against the face, so fit is very personal. The split silicone strap spreads its hold across the back of your head, which helps it stay put without heavy tension. Cressi doesn't publish a face-size rating, so do the fit test below.
