"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.

Pros
  • Full-color display, among the most legible in direct sunlight in its class
  • Wireless air integration with support for multiple tank transmitters
  • Rugged, glass-fiber reinforced housing built for daily rental/charter abuse
Cons
  • Heavier and bulkier on the wrist than most competitors
  • Button-driven menu navigation feels dated next to touchscreen rivals
  • Proprietary charging cradle, easy to leave behind on a dive trip
Diver community sentiment
Mixed opinions

Divers generally praise the G2's bright, sunlight-readable full-color screen, rugged build quality, and long-term reliability, multiple users cite 200+ dives or 3 years without faults. The most consistent complaints are a clunky, unintuitive button interface (some switched to a Shearwater Perdix for this reason), poor documentation (one Scubaboard user only discovered after three years that the compass only works held vertically, not flat), outdated companion software, and intermittent air-integration transmitter dropouts. A separate recurring complaint involves the G2 calculating noticeably longer mandatory deco stops than other computers on identical dive profiles, with no clear consensus on the cause.

Summarized from public forum discussion (Scubaboard, Reddit, and similar), not a survey we ran ourselves. See the linked threads for the original conversations.

The G2 is Scubapro’s do-everything computer, full color, wireless air integration, and a housing that shrugs off boat-deck abuse. It trades sleekness for durability.
