It was Cressi brothers', Edigio and Nanni, passion for the sport and enthusiasm to create a speargun that would revolutionize the sport. In the beginning, all products were handcrafted and entrusted only to the two Cressi brothers, who would personally try them out. However as the company began to expand and the popularity increased eventually they had to increase production.

Cressi represents the strict tests, tradition and passion of one of the world’s finest spearfishing equipment manufacturers.
