Features of Cressi Donatello

Product description of Cressi Donatello dive computer

Description summary

Explore the depths with the CRESSI Donatello, a versatile and robust dive and freediving computer. Its high-contrast, User-Friendly Display System (UFDS) offers exceptional clarity, while a single multifunction button ensures easy control. Packed with features like dual-mix Nitrox management, a deep stop function, and the Cressi RGBM algorithm, it’s perfect for all underwater activities. With a durable case, 150m water resistance, and a user-replaceable battery, the Donatello is the ideal companion for your next aquatic adventure

After the overwhelming success of Leonardo, the most recognized Italian diving gear brand hits the ball out of the park again thanks to subsidiary Cressi Elettronica’s effort. It´s time to travel beyond the depths with the Cressi Donatello diving computer.

Donatello is a very strong and practical modular computer that makes the most of what Cressi learned with their first dive computer to give you even more clarity and ease of use when below the surface. This is largely due to the design of its User-Friendly Display System (UFDS) screen, whose contrast, proportions, and size have been optimized to make its indicators easy-to-read even during an emergency. The Donatello also has dual-mix Nitrox management, deep stop, RGBM algorithm, and specific modes for various disciplines.

The display is easy to control thanks to a multifunction push button that allows on-the-fly changes through each of the Donatello´s functions and gives you more freedom of movement, something that will certainly be appreciated by technical diving and apnea divers. Other technical advantages of the Donatello include a saltwater-calibrated depth gauge for greater accuracy and an easily replaceable CR2450 battery.

Donatello is an underwater and freediving computer. It is ideal for other water activities, thanks to the deactivation option of the “dive” functions, that avoids unnecessary alarms while snorkeling or swimming. It has a high contrast display. The heavy-duty case with a steel button is fitted with a bezel which, like the protection, is plastic made. The underwater resistance is up to 150 m. The two-tone wrist band is made of TPU rubber with a stainless steel buckle.

Features:

- High contrast display with extra large numbers
- Easy access menu 12/24 time format with calendar
- High power backlit display surf time, desaturation and no fly time calculator lets you know when battery is empty
- Metric or imperial units dive (air/nitrox) program cressi rgbm algorithm
- Complete diving data processor ppo2 1.2-1.6 configuration
- Graphic indicator of cns toxicity level of oxygen safety stop indicator
- Multiple level safety factor configuration altitude configuration
- Algorithm for managing uncontrolled ascent suitable for repeated, multiday decompression diving visualisation of time while diving
- Add / remove deep stop alarm in case of breach of ascent speed, decompression or ppo2 it is possible to disable the ascent alarms possibility of eventual total reset, useful for renting purposes planning: scrolling of no-decompression limits
- Maximum dive depth alarm free (apnea) program display of all diving parameters depth temperature
- Dive calculator maximum dive depth alarm
- Dive time length of surface interval between each dive length of diving session depth, dive time and surface interval alarms recovery time alarm - Visualisation of time at dive phase gage program (without decompression calculator) depth/temperature indicator

My first order from DiveInn and first dive computer

2026/08/21

Goran

First order from divein to Croatia town of Karlobag. Came two days late because of our croatia post which handled package when UPS handed it over but not a big deal. Ordered Cressi Donatello as a freedive computer for tracking my spearfishing dives but the one i can also use for scuba when I get back to it. Very satisfied with the product. Works perfectly.

Easy to use and with a very clear display that you'll quickly get used to on your first dives. It's responsive on both decompression and no-decompression dives.

Good dive computer

2024/06/24

Dragoljub

It's a bit difficult to navigate through the menu at first (there's only one button that you use to set everything). Once you've got the hang of it (after a few frustrated times pressing all the menu items for the umpteenth time), you'll find it easy to get by. The computer starts automatically when you dive. Switching to Nitrox is also easy.

Spectacular product

Erika

I loved it, it arrived quickly, big screen, very nice

Great computer for new divers

2023/12/02

Aris

Αll the information that a new diver will need are there. Easily readable, easily understood. The only thing that i think it would be nice to have is that the light could have increments of how much time it should stay on or have an "always on" option. But this is something that it would definitely not stop me from recommend it to someone.

My first computer

2023/08/20

Emmo

Excellent choice. I have used this model during my training and decided to buy it as my first computer. Used it already about 5 dives and it is perfect. For it's price it is a great choice for beginners. I have also bought a plastic screen protector but the standard package contains one as well as a silicon bumpon (It is not on the description)

Perfect

2023/06/20

I have used it before, I have not hesitated to have it again. Ideal beginners.

Great!

I am a beginner diver and bought this watch after reading some good reviews. Simple to use and has everything you need for your dives. Only one button to reduce complication. Have used on 3 dives so far and am very happy with it.

robust and convenient in use

Victor

This is my first watch for apnea. Everything what is needed for my diving alerts could be set. Starts measurement automatically at 1m depth.

My first computer

2020/09/24

Jorge

Hello ... it is my first computer is versatile for autonomous or apnea ... good luminosity and size of characters very visible. I preferred DHL ... instead of normal mail ... which increases customs cost ... 14 days to receive it in Chile .... It would be good if the invoice details what type of product it is ... since customs retained it ... because the invoice legend only shows "cressi donatello" ... and it cost me to explain that it was a dive computer ... which I appreciate customs ... otherwise it looks robust and of very good quality .. they should make a pack and add bluetooth interface ... plastic dome that protects dome is removable but did not fit when received. in general happy I have almost bought several items with you.

Perfect computer for people who dive both with bottle and apnea

2020/09/22

Miranda

Great computer at a great price. Fast shipping. Easy use and battery change by the user.

For the money, this is a great choice.

2020/08/30

Ilya

Great computer, I use it for freediving. Remembers all my dives, number, longest, all depths, total dive time. Very strong backlight, though it illuminates for a short time, I would like more. A huge plus is the size of the numbers on the display. For the money, this is a great choice. The quality is excellent! DHL delivered very quickly! Thank you !

Very easy to use. I attached it to my console without problems. I recommend it.

Advisable

2025/08/07

Salva

I was looking for an affordable dive computer that would also provide the necessary information during my dives. It's easy to read, and once you get used to the menu system (everything with a single button), it's really easy to operate. During the dive, the information is clear and includes everything you need. Once on the surface, it provides data such as minimum time to flight, desaturation, etc. It's also suitable for mixed-gas dives (nitrox). Very happy.

Happy with my purchase, everything in its original box, guarantees and user manual. It looks robust and very readable. The best thing is that it cost half of what it cost me in my country. It arrived in Chile a couple of days later than expected, but it is within "normal" for the postal service

Inexpensive, but sufficiently versatile dive computer. The most important information during diving is on the big screen. In dark waters, you appreciate the backlight, which you can easily turn on when diving with a dry suit.

Good original product

Good product, well packed in original box with warranty card and manual. Will try it out in my upcoming dive. Thank you for the free bumpon.

After the first dives, more than satisfied. I recommend buying. I overlooked that you need to buy an add-on to transfer data. But that's my mistake, so it doesn't affect the rating.
