A compass is situated on the back of the console, at the computer.
Front-hinged and angled so as to allow free access to the back of the Archimede computer.
It is possible to replace the computer battery and reset the residual nitrogen memory without having to disassemble the compass, making these operations quick and easy.
The compass can be angled in 4 different positions of the instrument so it is easy to read in any situation.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II 3 Gauge Computer Console:
Product is very intuitive. I read the manual and was a little confused until I actually got in the water. I was a little confused by the nitrox settings until I did the nitrox certification in this last trip... to be expected. I bought one for me and one for my girl and we both liked it.

Very happy. Bells and whistles, big bang for your buck. Back light great addition. Wrecks, night dives, deep, works perfectly every time.

I purchased the Archimedes II as my first dive computer and I couldn't be happier. I have used the computer on eight dives now and have not experienced any problems. After comparing depths, water temperature, and dives times with other divers using computers, this dive computer was right on and presented accurate information. This dive computer is easy to use and very reasonably priced. The display is easy to read underwater and the built in alarms assist divers in completing recommended safety stops and proper ascent rates. The Archimedes II also alerts the diver of proper desaturation times in between dives and keeps track of the diver's nitrogen exposure. It also has a built in function which alerts the diver when it is safe to fly and has a built in dive log feature. Overall, I would definitely recommend this computer to other divers looking to purchase a dive computer.
Customer service representative was extremely helpful and personable. Delivery was prompt. Initially when the product arrived it would not turn on due to a dead battery. Contacted Leisure Pro and they immediately shipped out a brand new battery.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II 3 Gauge Computer Console:
I was completely amazed at how easy this computer was to use. I sat down with the manual and the computer and was preparing to educate myself and I found that it was just as easy to click through it and just set it as I wanted rather than reading the manual. I had mine done faster than my husband who sat and read the whole manual. How ever the manual will teach you about all of the many features that this computer offers even though you may never use them. I am glad to know that my computer can do anything that I may need it to! This computer IS also PC compatible if you purchase the software. And the battery is super simple to replace.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II 3 Gauge Computer Console:
This computer has its advantages: it's easy to use and switches from air to nitrox smoothly. But these attributes are cancelled by the computer's shortcomings:
- Uses a lot of battery power relative to other computers, since it doesn't actually "switch off".
- Extremely conservative unit. I am a careful diver, but this computer had me in Deco in situations that my buddies computers allowed. I have been forced to make prolonged safety stops to get out of deco mode, understandably resulting in peeved buddies.
- After a year of use, one of the sensors corroded (despite careful rinsing and drying on my part), which led to erroneous depth readings. My lasdt dive with this computer, I was recorded at 92 feet when (according to my buddy's computer and a hired wrist-mounted computer I was wearing) we were actually at 24 feet. This might have also led to the computer giving me false ascent readings: when I pulled my gauge closer to eye-level (it is attached to my BC with a retractor), the depth went from 92 to 64 feet, and started flashing "SLOW" when I hadn't even ascended more than an inch.
Bottom line: buy another computer.

Although promised that all gauges are metric, the content gauge delivered is not!

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II 3 Gauge Computer Console:
I upgraded from an air only computer. Was certified for Nitrox. The computer works really well, you just need to reset it each time when diving with Nitrox on consecutive dives, otherwise it will kick you over to AIRDIVE.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II 3 Gauge Computer Console:
Easy to use, intuitive which is good, because the instruction manual isnt the best. Its my first computer and now I feel I cant dive without it. My only complaint is that it doesnt come with a PC interface download. Maybe thats why its priced so low.

200+ dives on this computer. Only complaint is the small low battery sign that can be hard to notice. Great buy for a two gas computer.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II 3 Gauge Computer Console:
Nice computer, with good beginner functionality. Has some advanced capabilities as well. Easy to use. My only issue is that the GREEN-RED bars for no-decomp are hard to see in low vis situations, and the same for seeing the ascent speed bars -- hard to see. I also cannot hear the alarm...but I admit to having a hard time hearing stuff when I dive -- I'm to busy concentrating on seeing stuff!

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II 3 Gauge Computer Console:
This Cressi is easy to read under water, which is a nice feature for those with less than perfect vision.
I recommend removing the battery when going for long periods of time between dives. - It tends to run down more quickly than other computers.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II 3 Gauge Computer Console:
This was my first dive computer that I owned. I work at a dive shop where I demo many computers and this by far takes the cake. I have taken it 200ft deep, and it led me very safely to the deco stops and to the surface. I feel very safe with this computer. I will never need another computer.
Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II 3 Gauge Computer Console:
I can say that it is very friendly and very professional the only problem I have is it is very hard to open the plastic cover If I want to clean it.

Very easy to read and operate. Foolproof function and operations. PC compatibility is flawless. Would buy the same one again if I had to replace it.
