I’m interested, but pics and a specific model number would help. Does this include the PC interface?

Here is a picture of the watch

The model is a Hyper Aqualand, and the PC interface is included.

I was able to take this vintage device for a dive this weekend and it still compares favorably to a more modern dive computer - at least in terms of dive recording.

Here are two graphs - the one on the left is from an Atmos 2, the one on the right is from the Hyper Aqualand.

The watch captured a quick "spy hop" that the Atmos 2 missed, because I had the Atmos 2 sample rate set lower. Not bad for an early generation dive "computer" that's from (probably) Aug 2010. (From the date code, it's August in either 1990, 2000 or 2010, and some of the docs in the box are from 2003...)

Thanks again rgdiver1 for making this piece of diving history available!

I have a Citizen HYPER Aqualand watch too. (In fact, I even have the exact same NATO strap on mine.) I love it but I find that the ascent rate alarm is very sensitive. I don't think of it as "an early generation dive computer", but as a dive watch that gives me everything I need for my log.

Enjoy it & congrats on your new purchase.

what operating system & software package are you using on your computer to download the data? I also have a hyperAqualand and I can't seem to make citizen the software go with Win 10, and wasn't able to get it to talk nice with subsurface either...
