What customers say about "Key Specs"

Cressi Leonardo Dive Computer

I have just come from a dive into the Blue Hole in Belize where we dove at 40m depth (131ft) and it was my first dive so deep and using this computer made me feel more secure.
I've only taken it on two dives (100ft and Nitrox) so far but I like it a lot.
It's my back up and very in sync (time, depths) with my ScubaPro wisdom 3 console.
I have used the computer on a couple dives to 80 feet and the depth and time were captured in the history as expected
Used all through my technical course. It has a gauge mode and i asume it'd work well as a backup computer

Suunto Zoop Novo Dive Computer Wrist Watch

You can read up before you use it or just hit the water. It activates itself at about 2' and guides you from there.
Simple and friendly interface. I used this computer during our trip and info were consistent with my husband Aladin Scuba Pro computer.
It has all of the modes necessary for anyone but the most experienced technical diver.
I love my Suunto! It is great for all divers for just a general dive watch.
I'm happy with the watch. First 2 dives at about 8m Max depth.

What customers say about "Features"

Cressi Leonardo Dive Computer

This computer is pretty easy to use, with its single button interface.
I set it up very fast, I could choose between metters or feet, celsius or farenheit, air or nitrox, safety factor (I used the default since I am a 'healthy' person) and other parameters that I never used.
Screen is easy to read, back-lighting is sufficient, and the audible alarm is almost disturbingly loud, but it's an alarm!
Once I got into de water, it was pretty easy to read (I have 1 point astigmatism in both eyes), with long press I turned the light on for a couple of seconds.
Also the best features imho, are the heads up when I go up faster than I should do... it beeps and complains, in the safety stop it indicates easily the amount of remaining minutes.
Cressi claims this watch can be used for free diving, but the ascent alarm still goes off even when Gauge mode is turned on.

Suunto Zoop Novo Dive Computer Wrist Watch

Beeps at you if you are ascending too quickly. Beeps at you if you are about to pass no decomp bottom time.
The monitor is big and easy to read even in situation of low light or low visibility.
They are easy to use, and we really like the four button interface - it helps navigating around the software.
We also really enjoy the ability to do either electroluminescent OR phosphorescent back-light during night dives.
This is a very easy to use non-Aire integrated dive computer. The numbers are large and easy to read.
