On the luminescent face of the 230' depth gauge the first 40' depth readings arein 10' increments, (which correspond to the area of decompression stops), and are widely spaced for ease of reading. The face is divided into three differentcolored zones: green up to 66', light blue from 66' to 130', red from 130' to the end of the scale. The instrument has a maximum depth indicator that stops onthe maximum depth reached during the dive.
The Mini-Manometer pressure gauge luminescent dial reads from 0-to 5000 psi. Theinstruments face like the depth gauge is divided into three different colored zones: the area from 600 psi and below is highlighted in red with a solid bar and red stripes. If gauge is used on deeper dives, the red scale extends and fades to 1,300 psi. This provides for added reserve air indication required at greater depths. From 600 to approximately 3,000 psi is green and from 3,000 psi to end of scale is blue.
The front glass lens is made to act as a pressure relief valve. In the event of a sudden increase in pressure inside the instrument, the glass rises slightly, allowing the excess pressure to escape. The instrument is housed in a small, modern shaped console boot, made from polycarbonate and desmopan, (a thermoplastic polyurethane) two materials that guarantee protection from shocks, scratches and which, at the same time, is verylight.
The pressure and depth gauges are positioned in such a way that both instrumentscan be read quickly and easily in any conditions. At the end of the console, slightly to the sides, there are two loops for fastening the instrument to the BCD or harness so that it does not hang down with the risk of catching and damaging the environment.

Comments about Cressi Cressi Mini 2 Gauge Console (Imperial):
I haven't used this yet, but it is very unassuming, which is what i was looking for. something to be light and outta the way, to accompany a wrist-mounted computer. great price too. 50 bucks less than the comparable set at my local dive shop. i like to support the local shop, but who can argue with 50 bucks.

Comments about Cressi Cressi Mini 2 Gauge Console (Imperial):
I love this gauge! It is very easy to read. The color-coding definitely helps. It is also small and doesn't get in the way. I just took this gauge for a dive trip and my dive buddy is jealous of it.

My wife replaced her full sized console with this. It is less than half the size of her old set up, yet is easy to read, easy to tuck away into her cumberbund and a nice size for travel

Comments about Cressi Cressi Mini 2 Gauge Console (Imperial):
This guage is small and affordable. It is somewhat hard to read at a quick glance, because the pressure guage changes scale a few times. Also, it does not hold its glow for very long making use in dark or low light difficult. The depth guage on mine does not work well at shallow depths.

Comments about Cressi Cressi Mini 2 Gauge Console (Imperial):
This is a great entry level gauge that works well. I still would recomend going with either a dive computer or a better gauge console.
Great service and delivery

Comments about Cressi Cressi Mini 2 Gauge Console (Imperial):
I use this gauge as backup to my Wireless Dive Computer. It is rugged and yet small enough to not get in the way when not needed. I often use it to monitor my initial air pressure.

Comments about Cressi Cressi Mini 2 Gauge Console (Imperial):
THis gauge is for lighter, smaller, and more stream line than any other gauge I have ever seen. other gauges that I've used seriosly are about 10 times heavier.I would reccomend this gauge to anyone.That being said, I do have to say that when I bought this unit the depth gauge did not work, [...] But this gauge is awesome and I am happy with it's quality. You can buy a lemmon with dive gear too, but it doesn't happen often.[...] [...]

Comments about Cressi Cressi Mini 2 Gauge Console (Imperial):
nice compact unit. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I'd get the model with the compass.
I was not able to find an adequate retractor setup that worked with the attachment options built into this unit. That being said, this unit is light and small enough that the standard hose clip attached to the hose and BC hold this just fine.
