The first Cressi mask, the Sirena, was handcrafted in 1943. It remained in the catalog, with various updates, for more than 30 years.
The Baron is the version of Duke (see #4 on this TOP list) with a different pack (cardboard box instead of the reusable bag) and a more simplified aesthetic, but with identical features that differentiate it from other masks on the market.
The air circulation in Baron is clearly superior to most other full face snorkeling masks available today. The FFSM was tested in the laboratory of the Engineering Department of the Milan Polytechnic, where the results exceeded all expectations.
Cressi Baron is a full-face snorkeling mask for an affordable price designed with extremely high-quality materials and technology, allowing the user to breathe easily.
Its visual field is 30% larger than average full-face masks' providing a better view of the underwater.
The mask also features the new air baffle that completely eliminates fogging. It has special safety purging valves and a dry-top snorkel system to reduce the chance of water leaking inside.

✔️ Seac patented exhaust circuit;

✔️ Smaller internal volume;
✔️ Skirt shape designed to adapt to every kind of facial contour.
All the production batches of Seac full-face masks are tested in their laboratories with specific Ansti machines for measuring the dynamic performance of human respiration.
These tests are carried out using proprietary Seac equipment which has been specifically developed to control the levels of CO2 present in the air inhaled through the masks during the breathing process.
Seac has developed a series of tests in compliance with the values required by the top European standards.
Seac Libera has completely separate circuits for fresh air and exhaled air, which means you will not breathe in the same air you’ve just exhaled. Exhaled air is expelled through a SEAC patented exhaust circuit.
This full-face mask also features an anti-fogging system with the continuous flow of incoming air. Its one-way valves have a slightly larger cross section which provides an effortless exhalation and effective expulsion of residual CO2.
A large anatomical hypoallergenic liquid silicone skirt with a shape designed to adapt to every kind of facial contour ensures the very best seal, safety, and comfort. The Seac Libera mask has a silicone strap with a co-molded colored insert for perfect fixation on the head.
What’s more, there are two ways to adjust the strap, both in front and in the lower section. The quick-release buckles allow you to take the mask off instantly for maximum safety.

Another full-face mask by Cressi, the Duke model features a breathing chamber that is separated from the vision chamber. This gives users multiple benefits such as: easy breathing, no CO2 build-up, and fog-free vision chamber.
All those benefits are possible because of the Cressi Duke’s unique design feature, which is a lateral tube position. This advantage is enhanced by the fact that neither the breathing chamber nor the tube have any valves to impede the user’s breath.
What’s more, the extraction chamber has an enlarged volume in order to allow for optimal CO2 extraction.
