Questions & Answers

Shopper : Is the latest software update working well in Windows 10?ALEJANDRO T : Not sure on the new version , i still have old version on my windows. SorryLEWIS R : Sorry I have only used with IOSAmadeo G : Yes, that work with Windows 10
Anna P M : Hello, I bought the Leonardo computer and the interface lead to download my dives to my laptop but every time I try to download, it never changes from inactive to active. The steps I follow are: 1) Open the Cressi interface and connect the interface lead through the USB port 2) Set my leonardo to PC Link When I get there, it doesn't do anything else and the leonardo turns off. All I can do it set the folder I want, but still it does nothing What do I do?Mario C : Hi Anna, thank you for your question, i will forward instructions to you in a private message. Thank you DimitriDMITRI M : What is on your laptop? The interface works on windows 7 and 8, it may or may not work on windows 10. I have no idea about mac osx. Basically you need to install the drivers (on included cd or download from cressi), and configure your dive log software to use serial port that will be created by the installation. Then you select "download logs" in the software, set leo to "pc link" and put it in the cradle.
Akiva G : What is this besides a normal usb cord? Can't I just buy a much cheaper cord and download the software from the website?THOMAS R : The dive computer attaches the to square plastic platform. The computer sends an IR beam which is converted an digital code and sent via USB cable.to your home computer. The USB connection at the dive end is not standard. It like buying a USB cable for a Canon or HP printer they use different USB cables and connections at the printerDAVID S : The computer sits face down on the stand. There is no where to plug in a USB cable.OFER E : It's USB connected to a docking plate for the dive computer. The dive computer rests on the plate and connects via IRMARIA S : It not just the cord but the base which makes contact with the dive computer prongs so you can download your logs. A USB cable does not connect directly to your dive computer. This is. It unique to this computer due to the waterproof nature of the computer. I have yet to find a cable for PC/Mac compatible computer that is not expensive. All the designs are unique.JONATHAN V N : The kit includes an IR receiver that interfaces with your Cressi computer. When you dock your computer in the cradle, the computer's IR transmitter lines up with the receiver in the docking cradle. The USB cord itself is pretty standard.RICARDO H : Leonardo as well Giotto diving computers dont have a connection port. This device uses a specific wireless technology to connect to the diving computer and a USB connection from the device to the PC.MITCHELL G : That is a transfer dock. The watch wirelessly transfers its data to the computer through that dock. The watch is totally sealed no input for a cable. If you want to download your data from your watch to the computer then you have to have that cable and dock.STEVEN P : the cord is a USB cable but you need the cradle mount part that the Leonardo sits on to transfer the data. the Leonardo does not have a USB port.BRENT S : The watch sits in that plastic piece and sends the info wirelessly. A cheap sub cord won't work.MICHAEL P : There is a special unit that is needed to read the information. You need the entire unit.FAIRMONT M : No, the base is a special interface (uses infrared) to communicate with the device.
MAURICE L : I can't figure out how to create a folder to store data. Any step by step advice out there on how this thing works?DAVID L : Hi, The file directory is created automatically when you install the Cressi software. The data location is; C:\Program Files (x86)\Cressi PC Interface\database You then have to have the USB reader plugged in, the software set to download data and your Cressi in the PC interface mode.MICHAEL P : After you plug in your computer, there should be an icon that says DOWNLOAD DIVES. If you click that, it will download all of the information to your computer. There will be a file on your computer. My file is located under Program Files - Cressi PC Interface - Database You can export your files as a text but it seems useless to me but you can print each individual dive graph and put it in a 3 ring binder. Hope I helped a little
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?HAROLD K : Needed to use the Logbook function to download and record dives easierlRICHARD W : My wife and I have Leonardo computers and are very happy with them. we are just not very diligent about logging our dives This will let us download the dives directly into our logs, removing all excuses!MARY S : To accompany my dive computer.PAUL P : Goes with my dive computerDavid W : Because I have a Cressi computer and would like to get access to its full functions which can only be done with the interface.Scott T : price is the best on the interweb.EARL T : i have a giotto dive computerTALUT L : price finally went down. still expensive for something that should come with cressi equipment. not liesure fault though. cressi money hungry asszLEWIS R : To chart my dives

Cressi PC kit

Software took some figuring out. i.e. figuring out how to change language to English etc. But overall use after and set up was relatively easy. Makes having an electronic log so much easier to record dives etc.

Great dive computer

Simple and easy to use. Have done several dives now with this unit and no issues. PC interface is good to store dive info. Only thing I wish it had was a compass but for the price point I'm not complaining.

Meh...

This is just meh. It took several attempts to get the program downloaded and onto my laptop and the Cressi customer service support team is totally asleep at the wheel. I love my Cressi Leonardo dive watch, but this product is a take it or leave type purchase...you really don't need it.

Design flaw when used with Cressi Leonardo console 3

It's works, but if you have console 3 model just know that the computer will not lay flat on the reader, you have to hold it in place for he download to happen, design flaw overlooked when being made , should work flawless on wrist model computers

Not working and no Cressi support so far.

I will change this review if they help me to get it to work. I have my Mac OS updated and downloaded the Cressi software, but, it doesn’t work at all. I have had several calls and exchanges with Cressi and now they are on a 2 week Holiday. The software looks quite dated, but I want it to log dives and learn some. The cost is modest, so I didn’t expect much, but I did expect it to work. I can not recommend until Cressi can help me get software to talk to my dive computer. And, o would have bought different dive computer as well.

Good and simple product, although room for improvement

I bought this a couple years after I got my Cressi Leonardo, as I needed to change my battery, but did not want to lose my dive history. Side note: Even though everyone I asked told me that changing the battery on the Cressi Leonardo would lose the dive history, even 2 different online chat people here on LeisurePro, I found that it did NOT lose my dive history. Whew! The PC interface works great and is very simple to use. In fact, I'm finding new information about past dives while reviewing them in the software that this uploads the data into. (Although the software could be improved as well, for example I've noticed it does not handle non-default font sizing in Windows. I have a large monitor with high resolution, but want the text to be a more readable size, so increased my font size in Windows display settings. This causes text to be cut-off in the Cressi application. This is easily fixable in the app by any competent programmer, I hope to see them update it eventually to address this.) The only minor complaints about the PC interface device itself are that it is rather pricey for what you get (a standard USB cable and a rather cheap feeling plastic cradle for the Leonardo). The price should be about half of what it is. The other minor complaint is probably something others won't care about, but I wish the single (fifth) leg that juts out towards you was not as long. It does not need to be that long (in fact the 4 main legs hold it sturdy enough), but makes it harder to store. I wanted to store it in the same container with my Leonardo, but that leg makes it just too big to fit. I'm considering just snapping it off, as it's just cheap plastic and does not seem to serve any purpose. But it probably won't bother other people.

Won't download to the Cressi Software

So far - this has not worked at all with my Mac computer. After nearly a month of back and forth via e-mail with Cressi - still, no solution to get the software and as a result this PC-Link to work. Very disappointed. My advice - don't buy the Cressi computer - opt for something else that will download.

Good, but could be better

I like the information it downloads from the computer, but it is a bit tricky to position the computer. It wants a very exact alignment.. Also, installation could have been easier.

Works Great for Giotto and Subsurface too!

I bought this to use with a Cressi Giotto, not the Leonardo. It worked perfectly to import my dives to the GNU/Linux version of Subsurface, 4.6.4. There were no drivers to be installed. It just worked! (I've seen people post issues with Windows 10 and Cressi's software relating to drivers and fortunately I didn't have to deal with that at all.) Leisure Pro shipped in a soft envelope, so the box was a bit smashed, but the product was fine.

Bad Product

Software must be downloaded from Cressi. It doesn't work, won't even download. Cressi customer service won't help. No more Cressi for me. Also, their BCD was too small, and weight setup is awful.

Windows10 missing IRDA tables

At the present time Windows10 lacks the required IRDA tables required to run this device. It took too many hours to figure this out. I hope Microsoft or Cressi get the problem solved soon. I love my Leonardo dive computer!

Doesn't work

I have not been able to get this to connect. Furthermore, I cannot find ANY troubleshooting information within the software or online. Very disappointed in Cressi. I would have bought a different dive computer if I knew that the pc interface didn't work.

Useful, but took a while to set up right

Delivery was prompt, but packaging poor. When I opened the package it looked like it was a used purchase, not new. However, the unit inside the manufactures package was okay, but I could never resell this product in the original packaging because it looked so bad.

plagued by software errors, but cool?

There are multiple displays and graphics. Most are reasonably accurate. However, it doesn't display the first 10-20' of your descent. It also improperly displays water temperature and depth in some of the numerical readouts. Other components of the display show this information accurately. It is puzzling why these inconsistencies were not caught and fixed. My feeling is that it is not worth returning the unit, as the price is small and most of the display information appears accurate and is interesting and informative to review.
