Proudly designed and manufactured in Italy by Cressi—a leader in diving innovation since 1946—this device reflects decades of expertise in underwater equipment.
Key Features
- Four Operating Modes: Switch between Air, Nitrox (EAN), Gauge, and Freediving (Free) modes to match your dive type. This flexibility makes the Neon suitable for recreational scuba, technical diving with mixed gases, and breath-hold diving.
- Advanced Dive Algorithm: Utilizes the Cressi RGBM Wienke 9-tissue algorithm to calculate safe ascent profiles and decompression limits, enhancing diver safety with customizable safety factors.
- Multi-Gas Capability: Supports multiple gas mixes within a single dive, allowing you to use two different Nitrox blends during one immersion for greater technical flexibility.
- Intuitive Navigation: Features a streamlined menu system operated by just two buttons, making setup, mode switching, and data access fast and straightforward—even with gloves on.
- High-Visibility Display: The 37 mm high-contrast screen ensures clear readability in all lighting conditions, complemented by a powerful backlight delivering 4000 Mlux—more than double the brightness of most competing models.
- Comprehensive Alarms: Visual, acoustic, and screen-illuminated alerts notify you of critical events such as ascent speed violations, deco stops, or low battery, helping maintain safe diving practices.
- User-Replaceable Battery: Designed for longevity with an approximate 4-year lifespan based on 50 dives per year. The battery can be replaced by the user, reducing downtime and service costs.
- Integrated Logbook: Stores up to 50 dives per mode or 40 hours of total dive time. All sessions can be transferred to a smartphone via the optional Bluetooth (BT) Interface for easy record-keeping and analysis.
- Compact and Wearable Design: At just 48 mm in diameter, the Neon fits like a sport watch, making it ideal for both diving and everyday wear without compromising functionality.
