So, coming back to this thread since the AI for tech diving thread has had several days to have people weigh in...
I will amend my statement slightly. For tech diving, AI is far from a necessity. Some divers like it for backgas as it gives them the convenience of seeing how much they have left on their wrist while others (such as me) do not see any utility in having AI for backgas.
So far as I can see from the other thread, most people stick with SPGs on their deco/stage bottles.
All that is neither here nor there because this OP didn't make mention of tech diving.
For new divers, I would still not recommend the Teric. Its an expensive computer that gives the new diver very little additional utility over something like a peregrine.
Note: I missed your insights on tec diving and AI in that thread. Did you not reply in that thread or did I just not see your reply?
Yea I’d likely never put a transmitter on a stage or deco bottle. I was just saying that if the OP is willing to spend $1500 on a DC might as well get the best (perdix). So IF he every wanted to go tech he wouldn’t have to buy another DC. The peregrine is also a great option.
