"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
  • Thin, lightweight watch-style case with a bright 1.3in color display
  • Wireless multi-transmitter air integration standard on this tier
  • Higher Deep and Tech+ tiers available as upgrades if you need trimix or CCR later
Cons
  • No single authoritative USD price found, retail listings range roughly $400–$650 depending on color/retailer, with no official US price confirmed
  • Smaller support network in North America than major dive-computer brands
  • Nitrox-only, trimix requires stepping up to the Deep or Tech+ tier
Diver community sentiment
Mixed opinions

Divers on Scubaboard generally find the iDive Color Easy's interface intuitive, praising clear on-screen highlighting of key info during a dive, a responsive digital compass, solid air integration, and strong sidemount/multi-transmitter support (up to 10 transmitters with auto tank-switching, which posters note beats Shearwater's 2-transmitter limit). Value for money is repeatedly cited as a strength. Recurring complaints include screen readability in bright sunlight, absence of vibration alerts and Bluetooth connectivity, limited on-device dive-history browsing, no SurfGF feature, and a safety-stop countdown described as "fickle" (it stops counting if you drift even 10cm above the set depth).

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

The iDive Color Easy is the entry point into Ratio’s watch-style color computer line, a 1.3in IPS display, wireless air integration, and a choice of Bühlmann or VPM-B algorithms, with Deep and Tech+ tiers available above it for trimix and CCR.
