Cressi “makes such crap?”, really? I have a D6 signature and a Cressi MC9/Compact set, both work extremely well. I also have a Cressi Travellite BCD and a VDH BP/W, again both work very well. Saying a brand is crap without supporting evidence does not support your argument
I agree with @wetb4igetinthewater 100% here, Cressi is all crap on their scuba side especially the more "complex" products. We are phasing them out of our rental/training fleet and replacing them with SP and Atomic. The problem is that their resale value is even more crap and hence we haven't been able to unload them fast enough. Their free diving/spearfishing is a different story and I can't comment there since I am not experienced enough with it.
