Cressi Scuba Diving Instrument Console, Pressure Gauge + Compass - Console CP2 Made in Italy Quality Since 1946

I replaced an older console with this when the SPG started to act up. I have a dive computer so I only really needed the SPG and compass and this unit has worked flawlessly. I have several dives using this new console and what I appreciate is that it is super easy to read, the color gradients add a nice touch for getting a quick reference. The compass works great with a perfect angle to use when reading the face or the side window. The connection loops at the top and the back made it easy to use a retractable gear tether from my BCD to help streamline my profile when I am not using it.

I've never had ANY trouble with Cressi gauges, and this one is no exception. The display is bright, easy to read, and dead-on accurate. A slightly longer hose would definitely help when leveling out the compass, but it's certainly functional as-is. My family has several Cressi analogs in various configurations and we've never had trouble with any of them. My daughter's console has an identical SPG as this one - the display is so easily visible that I can often get a read on her psi just by glancing over, without having to ask her for an "air check"!

The console works exactly as it should. I was concerned after ordering it that it would be too small to read because of my older eyes which need reading glasses, but it is very readable, even with poor visibility. I am pleased with the console, but I think a better hose would have made it perfect. My Aqualung products have braided hoses which I have come to expect.

I had been looking for a pressure gauge and compass combo. This is just what I was looking for and more affordable than other options.

Go get that fancy wrist SPG, buy those extra batteries, don't forget to PAIR with that transmitter. But you know what, a good PG is equally important. You don't want to a OOA situation at depth, especially if you HAVE to do a mandatory stop. Cressi did me right. Something small, accurate and out of the way. If I want to verify what my fancy wrist SPG is telling, I defer to this Cressi PG. Trust but Verify. This is cheap in price, but it will provide you piece of mind and at depth, there is nothing worse than a panic diver situation.

The spg is fine, it's an spg, what can you do wrong right? but the compass is really just not up to scratch. I can see this being useable if you dive in clear warm water and you just need a second opinion on which way shore is, but trying to navigate to and from a specific spot in 4 feet of visibility is just not gonna happen. I used it in the pool and instead of a square it led me in more of a pentagon :((Spend the extra 65$ and get the Highland/XS scuba spg-compass gauge instead, it's smaller and nicer, the hose is braided, and the compass is top tier.

My vision isn't great due to cataracts. I have a dive computer with a big screen but I cant always check it at a quick glance. Many gauges are unreadable for me. The color coding on these makes it very easy to see what range I'm in without having to spend a lot of time looking. Great backup system for me.

I have now used it one dive and it worked just fine.I posted mostly to clarify that the gauge shows psi in thousands, because the pic in the ad is different than what showed up (which is good - I wanted psi not bar).
