Worth knowing before you buy
This is an Amazon Global Store listing, shipped from and sold by Amazon US — not local AU stock. Delivery and returns follow cross-border terms, and the visible reviews are aggregated globally rather than from Australian buyers.
A basic two-piece snorkelling kit (tempered-glass mask + snorkel, no fins) from the Italian brand Cressi, aimed at casual travellers rather than repeat divers.
This is the entry-level end of Cressi's range in our comparison: no fins, no dry-top valve — just a mask and a snorkel with a splash guard. Cressi sells a 'Ikarus & Orion DRY' version separately with a proper dry-top valve; this base version does not have one.
Amazon's own review summary notes a genuine split on durability and leak resistance — some buyers report it breaking after first use, others say it never let water in. We're not smoothing that over.
Ideal for: First-time or occasional snorkellers who want a well-known brand's entry-level kit and don't need fins or a dry-top snorkel.

Worked great for snorkeling. Mask did not leak and valve on snorkel kept waves from getting in my mouth.
