Design:

This suit is meant to be worn to serve as a second skin. The base model of this suit is offered in a solid black with a modest NeoSport logo printed in white letters on the left breast. If you want a little more pop of color, they also offer designs that have electric yellow, white, or blue strips that run down the top of the arms starting at the shoulders.

Features:

The most important feature of this suit is that it regulates your body temperature. It might be hot outside on the day that you dive, but as you travel deeper, the temperature of the water will continue to plummet. The suit serves to keep a thin layer of body heat between the suit and your skin. It also is made from a material that has been treated with a UV protectant to keep the sun off of you completely. This makes this suit perfect to wear while engaging in any water activity- like surfing- and ensuring you can stay out for longer without suffering in the evening with a terrible sunburn.

Value:

The cost of the NeoSport model is surprisingly affordable, and shouldn't set you back all that much money. Considering the modest price point, it is definitely something that you will want to add to your gear list for all of your tropical outdoor adventures this summer.

Summary:

If you want to get your diving gear collection started off right, a good suit will keep the sun off your back when you are on the boat, and it will keep your body temperature regulated as you dive deeper under the water.

Design:

The design of this knife is incredibly sturdy and has a grip that will fit comfortably in your hand. The base color for the handle is black, and users can select from a list of different color accents. Colors that are available include pink, green, blue, red, yellow, and white.

Features:

The way that this unit works that the blade is concealed in a sheath that straps to your leg for easy access. If you ever find you are in a situation where you need to untangle yourself, simply unsheath the knife and use the blade to cut yourself free. After you are done using it, all of the components come apart to make cleaning it incredibly simple and easy so that it will last you many trips under water.

Value:

The price of this knife will in no way break the bank. It will likely set you back the same amount of money that you will likely spend taking a friend out to dinner after a fun day out on the water. Considering that it is offered at a really affordable price, and it can really save the day if you find yourself tangled up- it is well worth the price tag.

Summary:

It is always better to be prepared for the potential of getting tangled, rather than not having all of the tools to free yourself. Even if you strap it to your leg and never use it- just knowing that it is there just in case makes it well worth the price.

Design:

All of the gear comes in a solid black color, and it has sharp blue accents with the classic Cressi logo printed on it. The carrying back that is included with this purchase is able to fit all of the tools that are included with purchase, as well as some additional items such as a wetsuit, fins, and masks. The bag has a long retractable handle and wheels for easy travel.

Features:

What makes this product great is that it comes with all of the things that you need to ensure that you have a travel dive. It comes with a regulator set that is ready to hit the water with the hoses that are included. The jacket has a lot of extra padding to ensure a nice and secure fit without rubbing up against you too much. It also comes with a diving computer that calculates PSIs, and a waterproof flashlight for easy exploration.

Value:

We hope you are sitting down because this set costs quite a bit of money. However, if you are looking to get pretty much all of the gear that you need- this set will be well worth the padded priced tag. Plus, you won’t have to worry about buying additional gear with this convenient kit. All of the gear has been tried and tested, so you know you are buying products that will last you a long time.

Summary:

If you are in the market to start building your diving gear collection, and you don’t really know where to start, this kit- despite its high price tag- will be an excellent jumping off point, so to speak. It will ensure that you will be ready for all of your underwater adventures this summer.

Design:

This model is made of all black materials with sharp blue accents and a lot of places to strap on additional tools and equipment. It has a lot of different sizing options for both men and women to ensure that you get a really comfortable fit that is perfect for you, and will work well with keeping you buoyancy neutralized for your build and body weight.

Features:

The thing that makes this not just an ordinary vest is that it has inflatable bladders that can be adjusted based on your weight and the water pressure that you are swimming in. It has all of the tubes that you will need to hook your regulator to your oxygen tank built right into the vest.

Value:

The cost of these vests is not going to be very easy on the wallet. In fact, this is one of the most expensive items to be found on this list. However, once you have paid for the vest that you will need, that is generally one of the most expensive items, so all of the other equipment that you buy after this will be substantially less.

Summary:

If you have the extra cash to spend on a pretty expensive piece of equipment, this is a really great BCD vest that comes with the confidence that comes from a Cressi product.

Design:

This unit is incredibly sharp and fits on your wrist like a wristwatch. It has a soft adjustable rubber band for a perfect fit for any size wrist, and it has a sharp silver accent running down the middle. The face has a large round display that is easy to read even when you are underwater. If you don’t like the black and gray design, it is also available in many different colors such as blue, pink, yellow, orange, and white to match the colors of your wetsuit.

Features:

What makes this diving computer great is that it offers you more information rather than just your depth. In addition to having a depth gauge, it also shows you your air percentage, nitrous levels, max depth, and- of course- the time. It is also able to time how long you have been underwater so you can be sure you don’t lose track of time a swim right through dinner. It has a backlit screen that is perfect for when you are really getting down there and visibility is lower than when you are closer to the surface.

Value:

Due to the fact that it shows you much more than simply the pressure for which you are diving, this packs quite the price tag. It will likely set you back the same amount of money that you spend on your smartwatch that you use every day. However, if you want to ensure that you dive safe and monitor all of your important levels- this is well worth the price.

Summary:

For those that want to ensure that they have a keen eye on all of the important information that they will need to stay safe while diving this summer, the Cressi Dive Computer is a must have for your next dive.

Features:

Using a GoPro is really simple and easy. Simply mount it to a hand mount (sold separately) or affix it directly to your mask so that your hands can be free for other things. It is able to be used underwater and in the most extreme conditions and continue to run perfectly. When it is time to go home, simply plug it into your computer and upload the video to share it with all of your friends and family.

Value:

While the cost of this unit has quite the heavy price tag- it’s not an expensive as you may think. This particular model will set you back about the same amount that you would have spent on the Cressi Dive Computer. Considering that you can use this unit for tons of things outside of the water- it is well worth the padded price tag.

Summary:

If you want a way to remember your underwater adventures forever, and revisit them after you get back home in the middle of winter- this is the best way to do it. Underwater cameras are a good alternative, but they don’t capture the essence of your explorations the same way a GoPro can.

Plus, it is bright and durable enough not only to be used diving, but it can be used on camping, and fishing trips as well, or can just be stored in your glove box in case of an emergency.

Design:

Cressi did not set out of reinventing the wheel with their Family Fins design. It sports a classic design that fits on the foot like a glove. Instead of keeping it in place with buckles or straps, you buy a model based upon the shoe size that you wear, and it suctions to for your like a natural extension of your leg. It is available only in black, and with a subtle Cressi logo in white letters at the top of each fin.

Features:

This product doesn’t come with any addition bells and whistles. It sports a simple design that is both simple but effective. The purpose of this product is to make it just a little bit easier for you to tread water and navigate from one place to the next. When you swim without fins, the muscles in your legs will become tired pretty fast, and it will limit the time that you can be under the water. With a good pair of fins, the muscles in your legs won’t get tired as fast and you will be able to stay down there longer.

Value:

The cost of these fins is pretty affordable, and will likely set you back the same amount that you would spend on a good pair of casual sneakers. Considering how important they are to allow you to really navigate your way through the ocean, they are well worth the price point.

Summary:

If you are in the market for a new pair of fins, but you don’t want to spend a whole lot of money on a pair that has a lot of extra features that just aren’t needed- Cressi makes a great pair that is offered at a price that won’t break the bank.

Features:

There is a simple mounting hardware off the top of the mask that allows you to simply screw the GoPro in place securely without the need of any extra tools. It is just as simple to remove it as it is to mount it. This mask has a comfortable head strap, and it also creates incredibly suction to ensure that no water will infiltrate the mask while it is in use.

Value:

The cost of this mask is slightly more expensive than a lot of the other models out there on the market, but it’s use of high-quality materials and comfortable fit make it well worth the padded price tag.

For divers that want something that sits really comfortably on your face, and also have the mounting hardware to record all of your adventures on your GoPro- this design is well worth the cost.
