CRESSI Donatello Diving Computer
It’s a recreational and freediving computer designed for those who prioritize clarity and simplicity. It includes Air, Nitrox, Gauge, and Freedive modes with a conservative RGBM algorithm and an optional deep stop. The high‑contrast screen favors visibility, and single‑button operation shortens the learning curve. The CR2430 battery can be replaced at home, and the dive log lets you review sessions via an optional cable or Bluetooth interface. The size is comfortable and robust for frequent use. For safety, it includes ascent alarms, no‑decompression limits, and a planner. It requires basic rinsing and care after each dive, keeping the seals in good condition. Here, clarity rules.
- Screen legibility and visibility: large digits and backlight allow at‑a‑glance reading even in low light. Fewer doubts underwater. Tip: practice menu navigation on land to automate actions.
- Ease of use: one button, clear menus, and a simple planner. Ideal for a first computer or for anyone who doesn’t want complications at the surface. Builds confidence.
- Well‑executed dive modes: Air and Nitrox cover day‑to‑day needs; Gauge and Freedive add versatility for mixed outings without changing devices. Everything in its place.
- Everyday durability: robust construction, user‑replaceable battery, and a large dive log with downloads via the official interface. Fewer stoppages.
- Single button: at first it can feel slower for jumping between options. Smooth fix: configure on the surface and leave the minimum for underwater.
- No air integration: if you want pressure data on the wrist, this model doesn’t offer it. Natural alternative: keep an analog SPG and enjoy its simplicity.
- No native Bluetooth: downloading requires the official interface.
- Default salt‑water calibration: in fresh water, it’s worth adjusting.
- Very legible screen and powerful backlight.
- Simple one‑button operation with clear menus.
- Conservative algorithm with deep stop and safety factors.
- User‑replaceable battery and large dive log.
- No air integration.
- No technical multi‑gas with in‑dive switching.
- Connectivity via external interface.
For anyone who wants to dive without fighting the menu, from entry‑level courses to regular recreational diving. It also fits schools and centers seeking easy rotation, reset, and low maintenance.
