I know I will probably take a beating on this one but here goes anyway

I am looking for an air intergrated computor that will allow me to moniter my own tank and my wife's tank at the same time. does such a computor exist? I would think there is such a computor that will allow you to moniter primary tank pressure and an extra tank or pony bottle at the same time with just having extra sending unit?
 
A lot of them do:

My buddy has an Aeris Elite T3 - his does:
recreational diving with our new Buddy Pressure Check™ feature.

IIRC the Epic does also. Guessing the comparable Oceanic models would too.
 
Oceanic vt3 has buddy feature
 
Most of the newer (last three years) Oceanic/Aeris hoseless computers have Buddy Check.

I should tell you from experience that it is just easier to have your wife/buddy check their own air and signal you the answer than to use this feature because you need to be really close for your computer to read another diver's transmitter. Plus, its just good practice to check your own air and communicate that data to your buddy via hand signals.
 
I had that 'monitoring buddy' idea at first, and i bought an Atom2 with AI (only one). Idea was to monitor my daughter's tank more than mine.
First, it doesn't work that great as you have to be relatively close, and in proper side and position.
Then, it doesnt take long to know your primary (spouse, kids, or most frequent) buddies air consumption, and once you realize they are actually better than yours, then this becomes a mood point!

But the Atom 2.0 works as an AI DC and you can find some decent deals for both the primary DC+AI and additional probe (ebay, or negotiate a package at ST or DRIS).
