I decided to replace my SIPG with the Cressi Digital2 console.
It's very easy to read in any conditions. It has a nice "range" feature that tells you at any point on the dive who much time you would have from current depth and air use the amount of time you would have to get to 50 bar. I'm quite good on air so it's very rare I would ever finish a dive with 50 bar. This is not a dive computer. It will show last dive time and depth and water temp. I wanted another device that was easy to see. Goes well with my Shearwater Perdix.
Now only one thing Cressi don't tell you.. they have a cover which clips onto the console. After you read the instructions is says never get the cover wet as it has a magnet inside to activate the console or to change from metric to imperial. WTF a cover for divers that cannot get wet?
I may get a quick disconnect high pressure hose so I can just pop off the console. The issue with that it makes it easy for people to steal it. I kept my old SIPG so can always put that back on if ever needed that.
Also good is the fact the battery can be easily removed as you need to either hand carry your regs with console or remove the lithium battery. Battery is the CR2450. The console can be activated by removing the cover, or by opening the tank valve and it will display for 2 minutes. Also by submerging the console I think to .8m. So I leave it in my BCD pocket between dives and just place the cover on when finished diving. I leave the cover in a dry bag until I finish diving.
