The NEW Cressi Archimede 2 dive computer ia now in-store.  This computer is designed with new and sophisticated software that during the dive can manage two different Nitrox mixes, which can be selected at any time of the actual dive.

The already excellent features of Archimede have been considerably improved both for scuba divers and for free divers who have the new GAUGE function as an indispensable instrument that can monitor all their dives in detail.

First of all, the saturation compartments have been increased from 9 to 12, for even more precise monitoring of the compartment saturation and de-saturation mechanisms.

And the possibility of using a second Nitrox mix during the same dive has also been introduced. This assists and faithfully monitors even those divers who choose to entrust the de-saturation of their organism to even higher oxygen-rich mixes, a practice that gives added safety to the dive and that more and more enthusiasts are following.

The first mix can contain a percentage of oxygen ranging from 21% (air) to 50%, the second between 21% and 99% (pure oxygen). The fraction of oxygen of both mixes is set on the surface but the use of the two different mixes can be selected at any time during the dive.
Obviously the partial pressure of both mixes can also be selected in a wide range of between 1.0 and 1.6 bar.

Other new functions include the maximum depth indicator, now also visible during decompression, the choice of three different Safety Factor levels - the ascent speed indicator (expanded), the temperature sensor (more rapid) and the display back lighting (lighter).

Lastly, the brand new GAUGE function that can be used both for scuba diving and free diving, which selects only some of the functions of the instrument, like instant and maximum depth, duration of the dive (in minutes and seconds), time and ascent speed. The operative range in GAUGE function arrives at up to 200 metres.
