Scuba Forum / General / August 2006Opinion re:Cressi Archimedes II Computer Console
I just received the Cressi Archimedes II Computer Console (computer+psi gauge) I had ordered. Though the computer gives the depth reading, the Manual advises that you have another depth gauge attached to your 1st stage, I guess in case the battery dies out. That will then add another hose for an SPG. Maybe I'd be better off just getting an analog console with PSI,depth and a compass too. I really don't need all the fancy electronics anyway and the thought of being dependent on a battery and electronics makes me a bit uneasy to begin with. Any feedback will be appreciated. Can someone recommend a good compact analog console?

That will then add another hose for an SPG. A PSI gauge is a SPG. No additional hoses required. Feel free to ignore the recommendation for an additional depth gauge. If you can't, consider a Citizen Hyper Aqualand watch. In addition to being a good watch, they have a depth gauge, fast ascent alarm, water temperature sensor and come with a download module. Lee I ended up returning it because it was way too complex for me at this point. I bought a Genesis analog set-up. Coincidentally, I got the Citizen Hyper Aqualand but was too "much" right now. Do you know of any simpler watches which has a depth gauge? Thanks, Sy > > I just received the Cressi Archimedes II Computer Console (computer+psi > > gauge) I had ordered.

Too "much"? It merely adds a few basic dive functions to a regular watch. Do you know how to tell time with a digital watch or do you still use analog for that as well? (Let's see, the little hand is on the 4, and the big hand is on the 6. That means it's ???) My opinion of you remains the same. Are you headed back to Puerto Rico anytime soon? I hear they have world-class diving. > Do you know how to tell time with a digital watch or do you still use > analog for that as well?

He doesn't even need to remember what the big and little hands do. Lee Lee, I won't be posting here anymore. ScubaBoard is much more informative. Also, they don't allow dumb and immature postings like you and your girlfriend Greg indulge in.

They don't allow posts like ours there. We don't dive with weenies like them here. There's a place for everyone. Glad you found yours. Lee > Lee, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Ta ta Ladies.

You don't need to send the same message to the same group twice. Saying it once is enough . . . even on ScubaBoard. Lee >> Greg, >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > difficult.

Yeah, but he did invert the names when he answered you and Greg individually.....he must be smarter than he's letting on. ;0) LD. > Greg, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Ta ta Ladies.

Wow! Dumb and immature? Lee and Greg are girlfriends? bwaaaahwahwahwahwah! Somebody should be keeping a scrap book of this stuff, really.

I only know it's happy hour when Mickey's left hand is on the 4 and his right on the 6. LD. >> I ended up returning it because it was way too complex for me at this >> point.

Perhaps he should switch to something easier, like walking, and forget the chewing gum part. >> Coincidentally, I got the Citizen Hyper Aqualand but was too "much" >> right now. Do you know of any simpler watches which has a depth gauge? I like my Casio Divemaster. It's only 8 or 9 years old and does everything I want it to do. >Too "much"?

(Let's see, the little hand is on the 4, and the big hand >is on the 6. That means it's ???) That means the watch is broken. Now if the little hand was half way between the four and the five ... :-) >My opinion of you remains the same. Are you headed back to Puerto Rico >anytime soon? I hear they have world-class diving.

It doesn't get a whole lot simpler than the Citizen HA. You go into the water and it shows dive time, current depth and ascent rate. You get out of the water, it shows surface interval or time. Load the software, put the watch in a cradle and it'll download the dive. Which part of all of this proved to be too tough?

I wouldn't recommend wearing it as your everyday watch though. Unfortunately it doesn't download to PC like the Citizen. |
