Cressi Metis Mask

Quick answer: The Cressi Metis is a two-window mask for scuba and snorkeling with an all-silicone skirt, a wide silicone strap, push-to-adjust wide buckles and a soft nose pocket you can work with two fingers, even in gloves. It comes with standard, colored or mirrored lens options.

Why bigger divers look at it

Cressi says the silicone skirt fits a range of face shapes and seals well, and silicone is more comfortable and longer-lasting than the PVC found on cheap masks. The strap is wide behind the head, which spreads the hold and feels more secure on a larger head. Cressi doesn't publish a face-size rating, so do the fit test below.

What it does well

The Metis is a straightforward, dependable two-window mask. Wide buckles adjust with a simple push. All lenses are shatterproof, scratch-resistant tempered glass. The camo colors are popular with spearos, and the mirrored lens version cuts glare.

Hold it to your face without the strap and breathe in gently through your nose. It should stay put without pressure at your temples or nose pocket. Read How to Fit a Dive Mask. More options: Wide-Fit Scuba Masks for Larger Faces.
