ABOUT US

The Sharkskin™ brand (originally ‘Adventure Extreme’) was founded in Australia by the owners of Neptune-Sports to address the need for divers to stay warm during and after a dive. The range started with a core selection of dive specific products and rapidly expanded into all water sports categories with the help of a passionate and dedicated team of administrators and designers and an amazing collection of global ambassadors. The Sharkskin™ range of products can now be found in most of the major markets around the world.

With a focus on quality and embracing the latest fabric technologies and design ideas available, the makers of Sharkskin™ are committed to providing customers with a technically superior range designed to become an indispensable part of any enjoyable active water sports experience or activity.

Cressi is proud to still manufacture the vast majority of it’s products in its head quarters building in Genova, Italy.

This allows a very high level of quality control, since Mr. Cressi is able to follow the production process personally on a daily basis.

Genova is located 30 minutes driving distance from the beautiful marine bay of Portofino, a diving paradise since the 1940’s, and this allows Mr. Cressi and the Cressi Team to easily test in the water every product that Cressi makes.

Cressi InnovationCressi’s legacy of innovation began in 1939 with two brothers who shared a passion for the sea and a gift for technical design and working with their hands. Egidio and Nanni Cressi began by crafting masks and spearguns that would allow them to move and hunt more efficiently in the waters near their home. By 1946 their designs and products had become so popular they founded the Cressi company in Genoa, Italy. Today, although Cressi is a worldwide leader in water sports manufacturing, it is still wholly owned by the Cressi family, and the commitment to innovation is still in the company’s DNA.
