Congratulations on your purchase of your Leo-

nardo underwater computer, a sophisticated

and complete instrument, realized in order to

offer you the utmost safety, efficiency, and re-

liability.

Always keep this manual with your Leonardo.

Main specifications.

• The Leonardo features a new Cressi RGBM

agorithm, created in conjunction with the

expertise of Bruce Wienke and based on

the Haldane model, integrated with RGBM

factors. This algorithm allows for safe de-

compression calculations for multiple dives

spread out over multiple days.

• Tissues: 9 with saturation hemi-phases bet-

ween 2.5 and 480 minutes;

• ”Dive” program: Full processing of dive

data, even with decompression (if any), for

any air or hyper-oxygenated mixture (Ni-

trox) dive.

• Full setting of FO2 (percentage of the oxy-

gen) and PO2 (partial oxygen pressure) pa-

rameters: PO2 may be set between 1.2 bar

and 1.6 bar, FO2 between 21% and 50%.

• A Nitrox dive may be carried out after an

air dive (even with desaturation in pro-

gress).

• Possibility of Deco (decompressive compu-

tations) or Gage program setting (depth

gauge and timer).

• Deep Stop can be enabled or disabled.

• Large display with ”PCD System” for per-

fect understanding and readability of values.

• Replaceable display protective cover.

• Battery replacement can be carried out by

the user.

• Planning: Scrolling of the safety curve.

• Unit of measure change from the metric sy-

stem (meters and °C) to the feet system (ft-

°F) by the user.

LEONARDO LIBRETTO 105X80 INGLESE:Layout 1 7-06-2011 10:10 Pagina 4

• Sound and visual alarm systems.

• CNS oxygen toxicity graphic indicator.

• Backlit display.

• Built-in calendar and clock.

• Logbook (70 hours or 60 dives) including

dive profile.

• Dive history.

• The instrument may be fully reset, in case

of renting.

• PC/Mac interface with simulator and dive

profile (optional).

GENERAL RECOMMENDATION AND

SAFETY MEASURES

WARNING: please read the instructi-

ons! Read carefully this handbook, including

the safety measures paragraphs. Please be

sure of perfectly understanding your instru-

ment’s use, functions and limits before using

it! DO NOT use your instrument without

reading every part of this handbook!

WARNING: this instrument is designed

to be a dive aid and does not replace the

use of the dive tables.

 DANGER: AN UNDERWATER DI-

VING COMPUTER CAN NEVER

COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THE RISK

OF DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS

(EMBOLISM). IT MUST BE CLEAR

THAT AN UNDERWATER DIVING

COMPUTER CAN NEVER COMPLE-

TELY ELIMINATE THE RISK OF DE-

COMPRESSION SICKNESS. IN FACT,

THE COMPUTER CANNOT TAKE

INTO ACCOUNT THE PHYSICAL

CONDITIONS OF THE DIVER

WHICH MAY VARY DAILY. IT IS RE-

COMMENDED THAT A MEDICAL EX-

AMINATION IS COMPLETED PRIOR

TO COMMENCING ANY UNDERWA-

TER DIVING ACTIVITY, AND TO AS-

LEONARDO LIBRETTO 105X80 INGLESE:Layout 1 7-06-2011 10:10 Pagina 5

SESS ONE’S OWN PHYSICAL CON-

DITION BEFORE EACH DIVE. CIR-

CUMSTANCES SUCH AS COLD

WATER TEMPERATURE (LESS THAN

50F), POOR PHYSICAL CONDITION,

MULTIPLE DIVES IN SUBSEQUENT

DAYS, WEARINESS, USE OF ALCO-

HOL, DRUGS, OR MEDICATION

AND DEHYDRATION MAY IN-

CREASE THE RISK OF DECOMPRES-

SION SICKNESS. PLEASE AVOID ALL

THESE SITUATIONS AS WELL AS

ANY OTHER THAT MIGHT ENDAN-

GER YOUR LIFE: EVERYONE HAS TO

BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ONE’S OWN

SAFETY!

WARNING: this instrument should be

used only by properly trained and certified

divers. No computer will replace proper

underwater training. Please remember that

a dive’s safety is only guaranteed by a cor-

rect preparation.

WARNING: The Leonardo computer

by Cressi is designed for sport diving only. It

is not intended for commercial or profes-

sional use, requiring longer dive times and

greater depths. Diving beyond the parame-

ters of sport diving dramatically increases

the risk of decompression sickness.

WARNING: Before using the compu-

ter, please check the battery life status and

the visibility of the LCD display. DO NOT

dive if the instruments’ indications are not

perfectly clear and, first of all, if the battery

is low.

WARNING: While diving, be equipped

with a depth gauge, a manometer, a diving

timer or watch and dive tables. Please always

check your diving cylinders’ pressure to be fit

LEONARDO LIBRETTO 105X80 INGLESE:Layout 1 7-06-2011 10:10 Pagina 6

to the planned dive and, while diving, often

check the cylinders’ air capacity by means of

your manometer.

 DANGER: DO NOT DIVE AT HIGH

ALTITUDES BEFORE SETTING THE

CORRECT ALTITUDE. ONCE SET,

PLEASE CHECK THE ALTITUDE

LEVEL ON THE DISPLAY. PLEASE RE-

MEMBER THAT DIVING AT HIGHER

ALTITUDES THAN 9.842 FT. ABOVE

SEA LEVEL INVOLVES A REMARKA-

BLE INCREASED RISK OF DECOM-

PRESSION SICKNESS.

 DANGER: BEFORE EMBARKING

ON A FLIGHT, PLEASE WAIT UNTIL

THE ICON "NO FLY TIME" ON YOUR

COMPUTER DISPLAY HAS DISAP-

PEARED.

WARNING: the present instrument’s

use is strictly personal; the information it

supplies refer, in fact, exclusively to the in-

dividual who has used it during a dive or a

series of dives.

 DANGER : CRESSI DOES NOT RE-

COMMEND THE USE OF THIS IN-

STRUMENT IN DECOMPRESSION

DIVES. IF, FOR ANY REASON, THE NO

DECOMPRESSION LIMITS HAVE BEEN

EXCEEDED, THE CRESSI COMPUTER

WILL DISPLAY THE INFORMATION

RELATED TO DECOMPRESSION, SUR-

FACING AND SURFACE INTERVAL

TIMES.

LEONARDO LIBRETTO 105X80 INGLESE:Layout 1 7-06-2011 10:10 Pagina 7

WARNING: Do not dive using Nitrox

mixtures without checking the contents and

correct O2 percentage (FO2). After doing

so, set your computer with the mixture(s)’

value so that it may process the decom-

pression computations. Please be advised

that the computer only accepts FO2 values

to the nearest whole number.

WARNING: Before diving, check in-

strument parameter settings.

 DANGER: Leonardo always keeps

the latest oxygen setting set. It is very

important for diver's safety to always

check this parameter before each dive.

 DANGER: CRESSI DISCOURAGES

NITROX DIVES WITHOUT PROPER

TRAINING. NITROX DIVES WILL EX-

POSE THE DIVER TO DIFFERENT

RISKS THAN THOSE OF AIR DIVES,

INCLUDING SERIOUS PHYSICAL

DAMAGES AND, IN EXTREME

CASES, EVEN DEATH.

 DANGER: AS A SAFETY MEASURE

THE COMPUTER UTILIZES A PO2 SET

AT 1.4 BAR EVEN FOR AIR DIVES. IF IT

IS NECESSARY TO INCREASE THE

SAFETY MARGIN, IT IS POSSIBLE TO

SET PO2 TO LOWER VALUES, UP TO

1.2 BAR, BY DECREMENTS OF 0.1 BAR.

WARNING: after a dive with Leonardo

set in Gage mode (depth gauge-timer), the

instrument will not make saturation and de-

saturation computations during the subse-

quent 48 hours.

LEONARDO LIBRETTO 105X80 INGLESE:Layout 1 7-06-2011 10:10 Pagina 8

WARNING: avoid any dive presenting

very risky profiles, such as "yo-yo" dives,

dives with reversed profiles or several sub-

sequent dives during subsequent days, since

they are potentially dangerous and present

a higher risk of decompression sickness!

WARNING: Currently, no validated

scientific literature allows to dive more than

twice a day for periods of one or more weeks

without the risk of decompression sickness.

For your own safety, it is important to avoid

diving for more than two times a day.

A rest of at least 2 hours between two sub-

sequent dives is mandatory. The next/repeti-

tive dive shall be shallower and its minimum

duration shall be 15 minutes.

WARNING: please utilize the most con-

servative safety factor any time you are

aware of factors that might increase the risk

of decompression sickness. By doing so, you

will dive more conservatively and safety.

NOTE: while flying, the instrument must

be stored in the pressurized cabin.

NOTE: Cressi reminds that all sport dives

must be conducted within the no decom-

pression limits and at a maximum depth of

132 ft, limit of sport dives. Exceeding these

limits dramatically increases the likelihood

of decompression sickness.

As a result of technological advancements,

Cressi reserves the right to modify the instru-

ment without notification.

Introduction.

The Leonardo computer by Cressi is a multi-

functional instrument for sport diving. It will

supply any wanted information on depth, dive

times, decompression status, ascent rate and

surface interval times between dives. Nitrogen

absorption and release is continuously proces-

sed by its sophisticated software, taking into

account the quantity of inert in the different

mixtures which can be used. Such information

is displayed on the instrument’s large display,

thanks to the PCD (Priority Compartment

Digit Display) System, allowing an easy and di-

rect “dialogue” between the diver and the

computer, ensuring a clear understanding of all

the data needed at any given time and a per-

fect readability in any situation. The computer

is provided with clock and calendar, a versatile
