Best computer for older eyes.

[Tom Winters]

Yeppers, I love the Seavision with the 2.0 reading lenses ground in. Not cheap - even at DEMA it was not inexpensive. I have the OMS Nitrox computer with big fat letters and at night, the thing was a nightmare to read. Even in the daytime, I have trouble seeing what nitrox mix I'm trying to select. I have the Seavision with the red lenses, and even at night now, I can read my computer and even my watch underwater. I tried those gauge reader plastic insert lenses and found them almost worthless. Ah presbyopia - that pleasant reminder of our mortality!

I first bought the Oceanic Pro exactly because it had 1/2 inch numbers on the display. Then, after I got bent, I discovered it uses one of the more liberal dive programs on the market. My getting bent was just one of those thing and not the computers, or my fault, just happened (so called undeserved DCI). But for older divers, I would recommend looking into the dive program they use and getting a conservative computer.

Just my 2 cents. I also wear contacts, one eye for the computer and one for the view.

As if it did not already have enough votes...

My fiancee just bought this computer and it has a very clear display with large numbers. It also has a customizable display. I may get one too one of these days...
