Cressi Pegaso Mask and Iguana Snorkel, Together in One Set
The Cressi Pegaso and Iguana Snorkeling Combo bundles two of Cressi's most trusted entry-level pieces into a single, ready-to-use set. Whether you are heading out on your first reef exploration or picking up a reliable spare kit, this combo gives you a quality Italian-engineered mask and snorkel at a price that makes sense. Cressi has been designing dive and snorkel gear since 1946, and this set reflects that heritage without overcomplicating the experience for recreational swimmers.
Pegaso Mask
The Pegaso is a single-lens mask built around a wide tempered-glass lens that gives you a broad, unobstructed view of the underwater environment. The low-profile skirt is made from soft silicone that conforms to a wide range of face shapes, creating a reliable seal without pinching or fatigue during extended sessions. The single-window design keeps the internal volume low, so clearing water from the mask takes minimal effort. The buckle system on the silicone strap allows quick, tool-free adjustment on the water.
Iguana Snorkel
The Iguana is a classic J-style snorkel with a comfortable silicone mouthpiece and a splash guard at the top opening to reduce the amount of water that enters during surface swimming. The bore diameter is sized to deliver easy breathing without excess resistance. The mouthpiece is anatomically shaped so your jaw relaxes naturally rather than clenching, which matters when you are face-down for twenty minutes scanning a coral flat. A standard flexible tube section at the lower end lets the snorkel hang clear of your face when you descend.
Why Combine These Two Pieces
Buying a matched set eliminates the guesswork of pairing a mask clip with a mismatched snorkel keeper. The Pegaso and Iguana are designed to work together, and the combined price is lower than purchasing each item separately. For instructors setting up student gear, rental operators, or parents outfitting a young snorkeler, this combo is a straightforward, durable starting point.
Snorkeling Tips for Getting the Most from This Set
- Before entering the water, fog-proof the lens by applying a small amount of defog solution or baby shampoo, then rinse lightly. A fogged mask is the most common beginner complaint and the easiest to prevent.
- Adjust the strap so the mask sits flush against your face without the need to tighten it forcefully. A mask that leaks usually needs repositioning, not more strap tension.
- After each session, rinse both pieces thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, chlorine, and sand. Store them away from direct sunlight to preserve the silicone.
- Bite the mouthpiece gently. The Iguana mouthpiece is designed to seal with jaw pressure alone; gripping it hard causes fatigue quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is included in the Cressi Pegaso and Iguana Snorkeling Combo?
- The set includes the Cressi Pegaso single-lens mask and the Cressi Iguana J-style snorkel. No fins or carry bag are included unless the listing states otherwise.
- Can you snorkel with swim goggles instead of a mask?
- Swim goggles are not recommended for snorkeling. They cover only the eyes and do not enclose the nose, so you cannot equalize pressure during even shallow dives. A snorkel mask like the Pegaso covers both eyes and nose, allowing comfortable surface snorkeling and brief dives without discomfort.
- How do I use the Cressi Iguana snorkel correctly?
- Attach the snorkel keeper clip to your mask strap so the tube runs along the left side of your head. Place the mouthpiece between your teeth, bite gently, and seal your lips around the flange. Breathe slowly and steadily through your mouth while your face is in the water. If water enters the tube, exhale sharply to clear it before inhaling.
- Is the Cressi Pegaso and Iguana Combo good for beginners?
- Yes. Both pieces are designed for recreational snorkelers and beginners. The single-lens Pegaso is easy to clear and adjust, and the Iguana snorkel has a simple, reliable design with no complex dry-top valve to maintain. The combo is a practical, durable first set.
- How do I care for the Cressi Pegaso mask and Iguana snorkel after use?
- Rinse both pieces thoroughly with fresh water after every session in the ocean or pool. Allow them to air dry fully before storing. Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent silicone degradation. Do not store the mask with the lens face-down on a hard surface.
- Is the Cressi Pegaso a dry or semi-dry snorkel combo?
- The Iguana snorkel in this set is a classic J-style snorkel with a splash guard rather than a full dry-top valve. It reduces splash entry at the surface but is not a fully dry snorkel. It is the preferred choice for beginners learning proper snorkel-clearing technique.
