KING is an advanced freediving computer designed, developed and produced 100% by Cressi in Italy. Its construction is completely modular and it is extremely robust and reliable since it shares its hard base with other models of the firm with extensive experience in diving and apnea: Nepto, Cartesio, Neon or Goa. Cressi has full quality control of this product as it is fully developed and manufactured at Cressi Elettronica, both in terms of Software programming and its construction and manufacturing, quality control and after-sales service.
Under its appearance of a modern and attractive watch hides an elaborate software with an elaborate apnea program, developed in close cooperation with the Cressi team, and an in-depth study of the distribution of information on the screen and an agile and intuitive access to information. , considering the multiple configurable parameters and the large volume of information it handles.
 
CONSTRUCTION
 
Case in anti-impact technopolymers, very light and highly resistant to shock and aesthetic aging. Extremely flat case (15.8 mm), with a very hydrodynamic section without edges that avoids possible snags. Guaranteed up to -120 m.
Case diameter of only 48 mm with a large 35 mm diameter UFDS (User Friendly Display System) screen. The distribution of the information, screen contrast, proportions and size of the digits have been studied to facilitate reading. All the data is presented segmented with slight separation lines that facilitate reading even in a stressful or emergency situation. Backlit display by push button or in case of alarm.
Two low-profile pushbuttons, highly integrated and with minimized play to guarantee the tightness of the O-rings by working perfectly perpendicular and preventing the entry of particles or small grains of sand that could block them.
The advanced study of the menus and navigation system that it provides with two buttons provides more reliability in the long term with an ease of reading, access to data and modification of model parameters. It is remarkable the ease of configuration, navigation through the different menus and access to the large amount of information that it always provides in a very intuitive way.

NAVIGATION
 
Circular menu using two buttons:
UP / SEL: if pressed briefly, this button is used to scroll through the different menus and to increase the value of the settings. If held down, this button is used to enter the different menus and to confirm. If you hold down in the time, stopwatch or dive function, the backlight will turn on.
DOWN / ESC: if pressed briefly, this button is used to scroll through the different menus and to reduce the value of the settings. If held down, this button is used to exit the different menus. If you press and hold it on the surface during the activity, you will exit the apnea session.
 
OFF MODE
 
The OFF mode is useful for use in the pool as it disables the pressure sensor, for snorkeling or in cases where you do not want to record the descents on the computer. In addition, it allows to increase the battery life
  
FREEDIVING PROGRAM MODE
 
DIVE: KING automatically connects when it goes deeper than -1.2 meters. At this moment in the dive monitoring mode, it shows the following data on the screen: • Maximum depth of the current dive • Instantaneous speed • Instantaneous depth • Dive time • Current dive number • Water temperature • Total time of the dive+surface session • Maximum depth reached in the session • Current time
 
SURFACE / POSTDIVE When returning to the surface, KING enters SURFACE mode, 5 pages displaying the following data: • Max depth of previous dive • Time of previous dive • Surface time in minutes and seconds • Number of dives made in the current session • Current temperature • Total time of the session (surface time + immersion time) • Maximum depth reached in the session • Number of descents made within the current session • Minimum temperature reached in the session • Relationship between the dive time and surface time • Current time. The data of the dives made during the session can be seen on the screen.
 
CHRONO: You can record split times while the stopwatch is running. When exiting the CHRONO function with the stopwatch active, the count continues in the background.
 
TIMER (COUNTDOWN): This function allows you to set a countdown. The timer can be set from 1" to 23:59:59". If you exit the Timer function while keeping the timer active, the count will continue in the background.
 
DOUBLE TIMER (DUAL-T): This function is specific for training, for example, to perform repetitive exercises with rest intervals. It consists of two timers (PHASE 1, PHASE 2) that work alternately with an adjustable time from 00:01" to 59:59" for each. The two timers can perform up to 99 cycles, both up and down.
 
DIVE SET Alarm setup: surface time warning (SURF-T), depth alarms (DEPTH AL1, AL2, AL3, AL4, AL5), surface time warning (DIVE-T), depth interval alarm ( STEP). Surface time alarm (SURF-T) Depth alarm (DEPTH) Depth interval warning (STEP) Dive time alarm (DIVE-T).
 
LOGBOOK: This screen allows you to log up to 32 hours of profile at a scan speed of 2 seconds. The data offered are: • day, month and year • start time • total time of the SESS session (DIVE+ SURF min) • Maximum depth reached • Number of the page being consulted P(1/2) • Total number of session dives (D.) • Minimum temperature recorded during the session • Total session time spent on the surface (SURF-T) • Total session time spent diving (DIVE-T) • Depth time of the best session immersion.
 
SURFACE TIME ALARM (SURF-T): By activating this alarm, when the previously configured time elapses, NEPTO will emit three beeps to warn that the surface time has been exceeded, and the surface time displayed on the screen will begin to flash. Adjustment can be based on elapsed time, from 100" to 1000" in 30" increments
 
DIVE HISTORY (INFO): The INFO screen displays system information: Serial number Sn xxxxxx, firmware version xxx and the number of times the user has replaced the battery. It is supplied from the factory with a battery replacement counter.
 
 
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
 
TARAVANA MODE: In case of practicing apnea or high-level spearfishing with very high rhythms and/or depths, KING allows you to configure up to 8 levels of protection against Taravana disease (decompression sickness in apnea). There are no official algorithms to apply that take into account the different variables that can cause an accident of this type, so it depends on the athlete's own experience and an evaluation of the circumstances of the day and the accumulation of residual nitrogen in previous days. It will advise one or another level of interval between descents to be defined in 8 possible levels. The coefficient indicates the multiple with respect to the previous descent that determines the recommended surface interval: L1 - 1: =2.0 L2 - 1: =2.4 L3 - 1: =2.8 L4 - 1: =3.2 L5 - 1: =3.6 L6 - 1: =4.0 L7 - 1: =4.5 L8 - 1: =5.0
 
WARM UP DOWNSHIFT (BLOODSHIFT): This function is useful when you want to dive to a great depth to reduce the risk of pulmonary edema. Many studies suggest that the origin of freediver's hemoptysis lies in the increased pressure in the pulmonary capillaries. A series of gradual dives, starting from a shallow depth, seems to be an excellent way to decrease the occurrence of this condition. First (BLOODSHIFT 1°) at -5 m 2°) at -10 m (33 ft) the third at half the set target depth).
 
LOGBOOK SAMPLING PERIOD SETTING (LOG.SAM) This function is useful in case you want to download the dive profile via an external USB1/0.5 second interface. With 2 second sampling, it is possible to store up to 32 hours of dive time. With 1 second sampling, it is possible to store up to 16 hours. With sampling at 0.5 seconds, it is possible to store up to 8 hours.
 
TIDE LEVEL INDICATION (TIDE): The TIDE display shows the tide level using a 4-level wave-shaped icon. Low tide will be indicated by one wave and high tide by four waves. When the tide indicator is active, the icon is also visible on the main screen, both on the surface and during the dive. It also indicates whether the tide is rising or falling.
HYDRATION NOTICE (HYD): Warns the freediver to hydrate. The alarm can be set from 1 to 4 hours in 30 minute increments.
