I gave my husband my Eon Steel and he got me the Eon Core (the steel was too heavy/large to comfortably use). As we plan to head out on vaycay next week -we can't figure...

    What kind of nitrox analyzer to get?

    I searched the forum but found 2012 info. Though I would check here for updated recommendations. We travel and dive nitrox and also use nitrox at home. Sometimes when we travel the analyzer goes all over the place (ie not working well) and so would prefer to have our own we travel with. And it...
