    Dive 3.0 Computers for aging eyes

    As we get older the exposure to sunlight over the years pretty much guarantees that we will need reading glasses, even to read our dive computers. The magnifying effect of water and large fonts of some computers helps, but there is a point when reading lenses at the bottom of the mask become...
