Introduction.

The watch computer Drake by Cressi is a recreational advanced tool. It will provide all the necessary 
information as regards depth, dive times, possible need of decompression, descent and ascent rate and all 
the surface intervals between dives. It also provides average data for each session and a separate and 
special counter instantly shows the relationship between surface time and diving time. This information is 
shown on the device's special display that allows an easy and direct "dialogue" between the diver and the 
computer, ensuring a clear understanding of all the data needed at any given time and a perfect readability 
in any situation. The computer is provided with clock, a chronograph and calendar and a versatile dive 
memory (logbook). Drake operating system allows the adoption of four specific programs dedicated to free 
diving and its various functions. In fact, deep diving, to meet any needs, can be practised with the two 
programs called FREE and PRO, the static diving has the STATIC program and the dynamic diving has the 
DYNAMIC program. Additionally, the device may be set by the user for either metric (m-ºC) or feet system 
(ft- ºF). The Drake underwater watch computer can be connected to a personal computer by means of the 
Cressi interface (accessory) and the related software (accessory). It is very important to carefully read this 
user manual and to perfectly understand the meaning, otherwise serious damage can be caused to your 
health. This manual is intended to guide the user to comprehend all the functions of the computer before 
using it in diving. The Drake watch computer by Cressi is always on in the watch function and to pass to 
underwater computer press and hold the MODE push-buttons or slide to DIVE menu. In the underwater 
computer function, the display shows the PRE DIVE mode and the different functions are always set by 
means of the push-buttons, as seen below. 

In order to understand all the computer's functions and their meaning, the manual is divided into six main 
chapters, dealing with every possible use:

1 - General instructions and safety standards 2 - Computer control
3 - Programs
4 - Alarms and settings 
5 - Logbook and System
6 - Care and maintenance
