The Cressi Leonardo has everything you would expect with beginner dive computers. It has many features, including three dive modes: air, gauge, and nitrox.
One of the great things about this dive computer is that the automatic air diving mode will turn itself on without any provocation! This feature activates once you’ve gone below 1.2 m in the water.
The automatic air diving mode comprises 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen. On the other hand, the nitrox mode will have you diving between the base 21% oxygen and 50% oxygen. But make sure you gain your Enriched Air certification before you start to utilise this function.
The gauge mode has a bottom timer, showing your dive time in minutes and seconds – nice, quick and easy to read.
The Cressi Leonardo can hold up to 75 hours of diving data, which usually corresponds to about 60 dives. It will also sample data roughly every 20 seconds. This helps to give you the most accurate reading on your dive.
However, if you want to log your dive data, you will need a separate device. And sadly, one of the downfalls of the Cressi Leonardo dive computer is that that essential device is sold separately.
But a big point in its favour is that it can be reset after every dive. This is great for diving schools lending dive computers out multiple times a day or general divers wanting to keep their computers clear! But please, if you are doing repetitive dives, remember to stay well clear of this function….
