Cochran Computers are outstanding and they are underestimated.
The Chipset and technology are the most advanced computer on the market.
The Company has a primary aim which is work with the military. In that sense oLed display, buttons, etc., are out of the field because the specification in which the user are submit.
The majority of the cases post on internet, on issues about malfunction of Cochran Computer is due to the user NOT reading or Not understanding how to use the product.
Actually, as my knowledge, it's very customize computer if you know how to program it or us it. (For example you can skip very deep stop to force the computer for work on a more haldanian base model).
It's always my recommendation "on any product and any brand" read the manual, try to understand it and ASK if you don't, to the proper sources.
Gemini case:
In case of the Gemini, is not only one computer, in reality are 2 computers. The one is connected to the cylinder has no display, but it is a computer on its own. Make the same calculations of the wrist computer as serve as backup. This wireless system is bidirectional, and no computer on the market has this quality.
As for the Automatic switch, you should understand how its work and how to use it.
No matter what computer or brand you have, you computer is a backup of your brain, which is your primary dive computer. That is why you should study tables, models, physiology, make your own statistical analysis of your dives and use the same gases. There is no substitution for study and practice.
If you have any question you can send me a messages and gladly I will help you.
Anyone have a Cochran ? What model, what do you think of it ?
