hi everyone,
i would like to hear our opinions on the following dive computer related topic.
i have a suunto d4 that i had to send in after 1.5 years because it was resetting itself, than the wristband broke ( now fixed with cable ties ), next 2 of the screws that hold the wristband came of while diving ( luckily i noticed) and than it showed me weired depths during my last couple dives in a quarry nearby. like 90cm when i was 4-5 meters down or still 3 meter when my head nearly stuck out of the water. all that within 2.5-3 years.
customer service of suunto however is excellent. one call and i got replacement screws send over from finnland for nada!!!
i am considering a change to uwatec as they are to my knowledge reliable and i don't care about the fashion effect or whatever. the thing only has to work.
wich brings me to the question.
should i go for the super simple (i like that) uwatec/ scubapro bottom timer and just use additional tables should i ever go with nitrox ? or look more at the aladin pro nitrox or aladin pro ultra?
as i have had bad experience with too much technologie i really consider the option of dive tables for serious planning and the most simple bottom timer.
also i would maybe someday like to go into tec to go a little deeper, how could this influence the choice?
what's your opinion?
looking forward to your response,
chris
