DIR-Compliant Bottom timer?

[LSanchez]

Is this BT considered appropriate for DIR training. I am planning on taking the DIR-F class this spring and trying to get my gear together.

Yup.

Although I am unable to surpass Boomx5's eloquent reply, you might also look at the Uwatec bottom timer, as it's the same unit and may be cheaper from Scubapro.

Or you may want to wait for the new Uwatec BT due out later this year...

that's the same one that was due at last year's DEMA?

M.O.O.N spells vaporware.

Not sure about the timing but a friend of mine is supposed to test it in a few weeks.

I used that model during my DIR-F with no problems.

My only comment is that I wish that it had a second timer. That's why I ended up purchasing a Stinger to use in gauge mode as a backup timer.

Excuse my ignorance, but couldnt you just use a watch as a second timer?
