"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
  • User-replaceable CR2450 coin cell rated for up to two years or 300 dives, no charging cables
  • Simple three-mode operation (Scuba, Gauge, Apnea) plus everyday watch functions
  • Bluetooth download to Scubapro's Logtrak app for logs and firmware updates
Cons
  • Single gas only, no multi-gas or CCR support
  • No digital compass
  • Monochrome segmented display looks dated next to matrix-display competitors

The Aladin A1 is Scubapro’s budget wrist computer, aimed at recreational divers who want a real dive computer without paying for features they won’t use. It shares its ZH-L16 ADT MB algorithm with the rest of the Aladin line, just without the multi-gas and air-integration options that push the A2 up in price.
