CRESSILeonardo Scuba Diving Computer

Recently qualified as a scuba diver and decided to opt for the Leonardo after much research and fellow reviewers comments. I'm thankful I did! The computer itself is brilliant. Out the box it feels really well made, has a nice big strap for going over the drysuit and a large screen to display information with a protective casing over the screen itself for durability. The strap looks like it can also be removed and the puck integrated into your regulators which is a nice bonus.After trialling it at the weekend for the first time, it didn't disappoint in terms of functionality and ease of use.Before jumping in the water it allows you to plan your dive via the Plan screen which lets you set your intended depth and gives you information on required decompression stops depending on input. Air settings can be changed to allow support for various nitrox blends up to 51% in 1% increments which is also pretty handy.In the water, the screen automatically changes and provides information on your dive such as duration, max depth, current depth, next decompression stop and ascent speed with audible prompts for the more critical safety factors.I've not linked any of my dives as yet via the PC Link as I am yet to purchase the docking station (my only gripe!) so can't comment. Will update the review when the time comes!Edit: Purchased the PC Link and uploaded a total of 15 dives. The PC application interface could do with being updated, looks like something from the mid 00's. Information provided is great however, including tissue saturation.Since upgraded to a Suunto Eon Core as the screen wasn't great for those dark loch/night dives, but still have this as the trusty back up!

I having been diving for around 20 years, initially as a BSAC Sports Diver, and then gaining the PADI Advanced Diver. These days I tend to dive around 10 times a year, predominantly overseas on holiday, or British waters in the summer.I needed a simple inexpensive dive computer. I didn't require syncing with my PC, as I can easily add the dive details. All I wanted was something that told me how deep I was, what my none stop dive time was (and how long I have left), warn me to do a safety stop, give the water temperature and keep an eye on surface interval (and allow me to plan my next dive). Everything else was a bonus. This computer does all of this, and more (mixed gas). Also, the screen is clear and easy to read. At 33m in dull conditions with maybe 5m vis, the screen was clear and did not need the backlight.The PC link is an (expensive) extra, but for 10 dives a year I can add the details to my dive log manually.It has a long strap so if you're got narrow wrists and dive with a shortie you may want to trim the strap! For me, with a 5mm wetsuit this was not an issue.The single button is easy to use, however, I don't really need to use it! Put on computer. Do dive. Look at screen during dive. Listen to beeps if it needs to tell you something. Look at screen after dive and write up log. None of this requires you to press a button. The depth, non stop dive time, dive timer, temp gauge etc etc, all show the same results as the dive master on my last dive, and his computer cost 3x as much. At the end of the day, why pay more, unless you NEED the functionality, which I don't.So, for me, it gives me everything I need at a price I can afford.

Amazon warehouse Disappointed: Product Good.-described as 'packaging slightly damaged' was actually ripped to bits and destroyed both externally and internally, more worryingly described 'as New' but had dive logs present.Moving on:The product itself is nicely designed, and the colours match the receivers other dive equipment.Functionality is relatively easy, via a single button, and works through logical button press steps.Can be used with nitrox as well as air, and has altitude settings too.Auto entry dive start and back light.Multiple dive logs stored.A software CD and basic Quick Guide is included.An OPTIONAL computer link is also available, but this is very expensive and of questionable practical use.Nice size, looks nice, and can be used as a vocational watch without looking like a huge dive computer!WOULD recommend.

Very easy to use, when you get used to the different press of the button. Worked very week, really pleased with purchase

As a rescue diver I have to say I love it. It's a very nice computer - for beginners as well as advanced divers. The main things I always check are: depth in meters, temperature and safety stop guidance (being 5m below surface and stay there is still tricky even if you are advanced)-which it provides at a glance and with sound signals. Even an experienced diver can get hitched in some drift currents and the warning beep with ascending or descending too quickly is always really appreciated by myself and buddies. And tbh that's all I really need. Have logged around 45 dives on in and was very pleased so I bought it for my father & husband as well. Easy to use with Nitrox too. I'm a passionate and frequent diver (had it nearly 1 year, 45dives logged) it gives me the information that I need and understand. I guess everything else would be an overkill. But there are so many settings (and even the port you have to buy separately - it looks like a interface from 1999 but still works) which you can get into but might not necessarily need. The other choice of dive computers I looked at started at GBP1000 so I rather invested that money in my Scubapro equipment and dive very happily with this one instead of knowing my heartrate or underwater blood pressure or Cholesterol :) And it looks pretty ace too. I recommend and love it!

Great product and quality for a cheaper model. Does what it says it will and well.
