Dive logger, watch or computer

[ATJ]

I'm looking for a dive watch, dive computer or dive logger to replace my 12 year old Citizen Cyber AqualandNX that has just died. I still have my 17 year old Citizen Hyper Aqualand but I know that it will be dead too once the battery goes.

I need something with:
* A display
* logs depth and temperature at 3 to 10 second intervals
* logs the dive start time to hour:minute:second

I have been using the Citizen watches to determine the depth at which I take my photos as described here Determining the depth of my dive photographs - Andrew Trevor-Jones - Nature Photography although I have automated it much better than described 9 years ago.

I have a Oceanic Atom 3.0 as my dive computer but I can't use it for this purpose as it doesn't log the seconds of the dive start time so I can't synchronise with the camera accurately enough.

I should have mentioned that I have looked at a number of dive computers but none of them seem to provide the second of the dive start time, only hour and minute.

Does the Shearwater Perdix AI log the dive start time in hh:mm:ss or just hh:mm?

Does the Shearwater Perdix AI log the dive start time in hh:mm:ss or just hh:mm?

The Shearwater Desktop application currently only displays the start time in hh:mm but if you export to XML it will be recorded as
<startDate>Sun Sep 3 11:44:33 2017 UTC</startDate>

Log interval is every 10 seconds. Hope that helps

Hope that helps

It does. Thank you very much.

Can the log interval be changed? 10 seconds is OK but 5 would be much better.

Doesn't appear so based on anything I've run across

OK, thanks.

I prefer keeping track of my dives online, so I use the website dive.site as a logbook.

It's really cool that I can keep not just my dive logs there, but I can also store my diving pictures and use the interactive dive map to explore new dive sites or chart my own.

I've been looking for a service like this for a long time, but the ones I've found before this one are slow and their interface is not as nice.

I have no access to the Internet when I'm underwater.
