Deep 6 Excursion Dive Computer vs Garmin Descent G1

If you were closer, I'd loan you my Excursion with the latest firmware (working on a manual for it) to take it for a spin.

Haha - much appreciated! Are you pretty happy with it? Do you also use it as a backup?

If I open a dive center, it will be my rental dive computer. I may not, but instead open up an underwater laser scanning business in Greece instead.

When will there be a user's manual for the Excursion following the firmware upgrade? Seems like a very long time.

When it is finished. Do you have an Excursion with the updated firmware?

No, not yet, considering it for a backup to my Teric. Seems unusual to be such a delay in the release of a manual to support the release, don't you agree?

I have an excursion, it is my first dive computer, aside from a puck pro I borrowed for a dive trip
I love it, it has so many features but is very user friendly and even though i dont completely understand all the gradient factors a name like extra crispy for the least conservative one lets me know to be careful
My only issue is a self inflicted one of it not loading dives to subsurface, I think it is a me issue since im not too sure how to work all of subsurface yet.
