CRESSI Interface Dive Computer

I was a little nervous after seeing many people complain how difficult this was to get working. I bought this to download the dive information on my Cressi Leonardo computer as I'm interested in learning more about my dive stats as I get more in to scuba diving. I installed the software (downloaded from the Cressi website) on my Windows 10 system, plugged the adapter in and connected my watch and it recognised it and downloaded the dive information on the first attempt. I also tried it with the Divemate app on my android phone using a USB C adapter and again, that worked first time.Whilst the Cressi software isn't the greatest, there seem to be a few alternative options such as Divemate on Android, and a free open source application called Subsurface which I also tested on Windows 10 and that worked fine.

Doesn't come with instructions. I went to youtube to figure out how to connect it and download the dives to my PC. You have to go to cressi.com and download the interface software. Once you've installed it, connect the interface to your PC and it will automatically download and install the latest drivers for it. (A PC restart may be required after installation). Then you can open the interface software, open the dive computer's PC Link page and connect it to the interface. The both lights should illuminate on the interface which means it's all working.

Cradle is quite good with interfacing the the watch. Could do better on the software side of things. Over all good buy.

Works easily, plugin, put the dive computer on, nothing simpler

Supplied cable didn't work - I had to borrow one from my GoPro to make it work.Software is dreadful - it's like how software was 15+ years ago. Software doesn't work on tablet's. Possibly not on Mac's either (see https://www.cressi.com/software)If you want to keep an electronic logbook, 3rd party software is much better (I use Divemate on Android, which is pretty good). You can use this device with Divemate (if you buy an OTG adaptor), but it's bulky if you take it travelling. I suspect Divemate's own IR interface is better (it certainly looks smaller (so more portable) and works with lots of other computer brands - so when you throw away your Cressi computer (which you will), you haven't wasted your money on the interface too).If you don't already own a Cressi computer, steer clear of this interface and Cressi computers in general - they are rubbish.

Easy enough to use. The software however is lacking. Had to contact Cressi support to get it functioning on Mac.

I bought this piece of kit because it advertised that it would work with Macs and guess what - it doesn't!! The software is out of date so I'll just have to wait until there is an upgrade before I can properly rate this interface.

Works bit only after a bit of hassle. Had to "disable driver signature" in order for the pc to recognise the driver for the USB (windows 8.1). Only learned to do this from searching various forms.
