Dive Computer Cost

[Jax]

What is too expensive? A puck of the best: Uwatec Aladin 2G Capsule. Instruments - computers Computers, Scubastore.com, buy, offers, dive $256

Or the same puck in a wristband: Uwatec Aladin 2G. Instruments - computers Computers, Scubastore.com, buy, offers, dive $278

I know a fair number of tech divers that use this, so it will be good for you for a long time. Also, user replaceable battery.

There are sooooo many options...
Check someplace like LeisurePro for all the info you could want. But I know you can get things like the Aeris XR1-NX wrist mounted for less than $300. That's not much, when you're talking about dive computers.

Scubatoys has this one for $269. Good basic Nitrox compatible dive computer.

Lots of used computers on ebay. Older but perfectly functional. Mostly same algorithms without all the bells and whistles. Think $100 and less.

Aeris Manta or Suunto Zoop would be my recommendations.

Notice the OP hasn't come back to answer any of the questions.

DR -- for what it's worth, I tell all my students to ONLY buy a Nitrox capable computer! But if the goal is cheap....

The Zoop is a great computer and pretty cheap. The Vyper doesn't cost much more either.
To ease the cost of the first couple years, there's nothing wrong with buying a good computer used either.
Lots of folks sell their basic computer because they need one that handles several gases, or trimix, or that will work with an air presssure transmitter.
If you want to upgrade a few years later, you can keep your 1st computer as a backup, sell it or
(*** best alternative ***) loan/give it to the boyfriend/girlfriend/friend/sibling/kid you've introduced to scuba.

Be careful. They chase you down the street at night.

Hey! Who's after parts or service on their Bend O Matic?

See, one of my DIR videos in the middle, and yes, I analysed and I did.

I've seen the Suunto Zoop (nitrox-capable, wristmount configuration) on sale at a local dive shop (Sport Chalet in San Diego, CA) for $215.

The last computer I purchased was a used Suunto Vyper (nitrox-capable, wristmount configuration) for $100. It works great and has all the features I need.
