"Gas switches" is how many different mixes this computer can be programmed to switch between mid-dive, mostly relevant for technical/staged-decompression diving. It doesn't tell you which gas types (air, nitrox, trimix) are supported. See Gas types and the product description above for that.

  • User-replaceable CR2450 battery
  • Compatible with the Cressi app for logging (via separate BT interface)

  • No wireless air integration
Diver community sentiment
Mixed opinions

On Scubaboard, divers discussing the Goa mainly compare it favorably to the pricier Cressi Newton, noting its compact 48mm case, everyday-watch wearability, and lower price, though hands-on reliability commentary is sparse. A separate thread shows a user confused that the Goa has no true power-off switch, clarified by regulars as normal ("land/watch mode"). The Dive Forum has a thread specifically about Goa problems describing an algorithm glitch that reportedly only manifests on second or repetitive dives, and at least one detailed Amazon review reports condensation forming inside the screen after roughly 8 dives, after which the unit died and neither the retailer nor Cressi responded to a warranty claim.

The Goa is Cressi’s compact watch-style computer, built into the same small case as the Nepto freediving model but set up for scuba with Air, Nitrox, Gauge, and Free modes. It’s aimed at divers who want something unobtrusive on the wrist rather than a large-format display.
