About the original
The Cressi Palau SAF Snorkel Set is a complete snorkeling package that includes Italian-made Palau Short Adjustable Fins, a Marea dual-lens tempered glass mask with a silicone skirt, a Supernova dry-top snorkel with a splash guard and purge valve, and a mesh carry bag with a drawstring closure. Founded in Genoa in 1946 by brothers Egidio and Nanni Cressi, Cressi is one of the oldest dive equipment manufacturers in Europe and originally built gear for Italian competitive freedivers before expanding to recreational snorkeling. The SAF fins fold in half for travel. The SS2019 Supreme collab adds co-branded logos on the fins, mask, and snorkel.
About Cressi
Cressi is an Italian dive equipment manufacturer founded in 1946 by brothers Egidio and Nanni Cressi in Genoa, where the company is still headquartered and family-owned. Egidio handcrafted the first Sirena diving mask in 1940, and the brothers patented the Rondine fin in 1951 and the Pinocchio mask in 1953, both of which remain in production. Cressi is the oldest scuba diving equipment company in continuous operation, supplying masks, snorkels, fins, regulators, and wetsuits to recreational divers, freedivers, and Italian competition spearfishers. The company is currently led by Antonio Cressi. Supreme has collaborated with Cressi on co-branded snorkel sets and dive masks.
