Ultimate Guide to the Cressi Travel Patrol Package: The Best Dive Gear for Travelers

The Patrol BC is a lightweight, rear inflation buoyancy compensator (BC) engineered for superior comfort and durability. Its special air cell compression strap ensures quick deflation and precise volume control. The ultralight rigid back plate with an integrated carrying handle provides excellent stability. The Patrol features Cressi’s Flat-Lock-Aid integrated weight system for easy pocket release. It includes three overpressure relief valves: one on the upper part of the inflator hose, one on the right-hand shoulder, and another on the lower right-hand side of the air cell. The inflator dump valve is activated by pulling the power inflator mechanism, while the shoulder and lower valves are equipped with pull cords.

With a 20 lbs. (9 kg) weight releasable capacity, the Flat-Lock-Aid Integrated Weight Pockets also support optional tank band trim weight pockets (see SKU: CSBTWP). The BC has a lightweight rigid back plate with a soft padded back and a roll-up cargo pocket. The Patrol features plastic D-rings to reduce weight, and the shoulder and waist harness is fully adjustable to accommodate one full size up or down. The rear inflation design uses durable 420-Denier nylon air cells with bungee cords for a low profile and rapid deflation. The harness system employs traditional squeeze-style side-release buckles with adjustable shoulder, chest, and waist straps for a precise fit. The BC includes Cressi’s streamline Commando Power Inflator with a 3/8″ threaded quick-disconnect hose. The environmentally sealed inflator mechanism offers greater reliability and reduced maintenance. The Patrol BC has a lift capacity ranging from 29.2 lbs. to 50.6 lbs. (13.3 kg to 22.9 kg), weighs between 6.7 lbs. to 7.5 lbs. (3 kg to 3.4 kg) depending on size, and comes with an owner’s manual.

The MC9 hyper-balanced diaphragm first-stage regulator features a lightweight body with a protective techno-polymer elastomer shell. It has four low-pressure and two high-pressure ports. The internal components are coated with an anti-friction, anti-corrosion material to reduce resistance and enhance performance. The chrome-plated marine brass first stage is a balanced diaphragm design, environmentally sealed to prevent water from entering the mechanism. The compact second-stage housing is made of durable, non-corrosive hi-tech polymers and features a downstream demand valve mechanism. Airflow is channeled to the mouthpiece by injection, creating a venturi effect to enhance performance. The second stage includes a flow deviator with a dive/pre-dive adjustment function, a large soft purge cover for easy clearing, and a comfortable silicone mouthpiece. The Compact MC9 Regulator weighs 30.97 oz. (878 g) with hose, meets EN250/2000 standards, and is made in Italy.

The XS Compact second-stage octopus mirrors the primary second stage’s features. Weighing 4.76 oz. (135 g) without hose, it comes with a 39″ (100 cm) 3/8″ hose and owner’s manual, compliant with EN 250:2014 standards.

Cressi’s Donatello is a versatile underwater and freediving computer. It is ideal for various water activities, thanks to its dive functions’ deactivation option to prevent unnecessary alarms while snorkeling or swimming. The high contrast display ensures excellent visibility even in bright sunlight. The heavy-duty case with a steel button is fitted with a plastic bezel. Rated for depths up to 393′ (120 m), it has a high contrast display with extra-large numbers, an easy-access menu, a 12/24 clock format with a calendar, and a high-power backlit display for low light and night diving. The computer includes a low battery icon, imperial or metric measurement units, and the Cressi-Wienke RGBM algorithm for comprehensive diving data processing. In Scuba mode, the computer supports air or nitrox configuration with a PPO2 range of 1.7 psi-23.2 psi (1.2 bar-1.6 bar) and oxygen mixes from 21% to 50%. It features a graphic indicator of CNS toxicity level, safety stop indicator, multiple safety factor configurations, altitude adjustment up to 12,140′ (3,700 m), and an algorithm for managing uncontrolled ascents. It calculates desaturation and no-fly time, and logs up to 60 dives per category. The computer is powered by a user-replaceable CR2450 battery and comes with an owner’s manual.

The Cressi Mini Global Pressure Gauge has a luminescent dial that reads from 0 to 5000 psi (0 to 350 bars). It is a high-quality instrument, built with a chrome-plated brass case, suitable for world travel with both imperial and metric readouts. The gauge face is divided into different colored zones for easy monitoring: 0 to 600 psi (0 to 50 bars) is highlighted in red with a solid bar and red stripes. The gauge features a 7/16″ high-pressure hose and is housed in a lightweight, protective console boot made of Polycarbonate and Desmopan.

The Piper suitcase is designed for air travel, with robust wheels for multi-terrain maneuverability. Measuring 14″ x 9″ x 22″ (35.5 cm x 23 cm x 56 cm), it complies with carry-on airplane regulations. The bag features a two-stage telescoping handle, exterior compression straps with quick-release buckles, a book-style opening, a top pocket with zipper closure, a central lock point zipper for pickpocket protection, heavy-duty wheel housing, bumper protection, grab handles on the top, side, and bottom, interior compression straps, an internal mesh compartment with zipper closure, and a back ID pocket. Made of scratch-resistant Denier fabric, the bag is light and ideal for travel, with a volume of 3,051 cubic inches (50 liters) and an empty weight of 6.4 lbs. (2.9 kg).
