I was thinking of purchasing one but read that this computer will not do the 3 minute count down for your safety stop. Is this true?
Thanks.

Something to think about....What I don’t like about the Cressi is that the safety stop countdown is in whole minutes without an indication of seconds, so I use a separate watch to time the stop.
Something to think about....
The safety stop is an attempt to add an extra level of safety to a dive in which it should be OK to go right to the surface. Some people do 4 minutes. Some do 5. For most dives, safety stops are a good idea, but the exact, to the second amount you need is impossible to know because you really shouldn't have an exact, to the second need. Anything in the 3-5 minute range should be OK.
As for me, I leave my computer in tech mode, with no safety stop countdown. I may use a feature called a SurfGF for a safety stop, but usually I just watch the other people on the dive and wait until they have al signalled they are done.
