Dive computer for 0 vis murky waters

[diversteve]

I'd go with a Perdix since the letters are bigger than the Teric. People are dumping theirs since the Teric debut.

Or a Petrel which has the same size letters araik. Maybe an Eon Core also but I have not seen one in person.

As posted above - the oricey ones... they also include much shorter battery life than your Cressi since they're OLED.

Not completely true...

My Suunto Eon Core looks great in the very low vis we often have at the safety stop depth here in the summer - good vis below and bad, really bad or really, really bad for the first several meters. And by really, really bad I mean I can't see my white glove when I stretch my arm out.

Hello guys, I'm currently using a cressi leonardo dive computer. It is unreadable when diving in murky waters. I was wondering what computers are considered standard or suitable for diving in 0 vis?

With kind regards,

Joris

More details would be helpful...especially why you are diving in such conditions. What are you expecting to see,...besides your computer?

I know if I can't see my computer I'm in a situation that I really don't care to be in.

Just purchased an Eon Core extremely clear coloured screen

My $400 Dive Rite Nitek Q is perfect, too bad it is no longer available

Mine did well in 6" viz, fairly big bright numbers.... it's now resting with Mishebeshu when the charter capsized.

I've heard that police divers diving in 0 vis waters use a clear plastic bag full of fresh water and a torch. To see the dive computer display they put the mask against the bag, the PDC across the bag and the torch in one side to iluminate the ambient
The fresh water will let you see to the PDC.
I don't know if this is feasible. The same would be for the SPG.
