Sounds like just one.ianr33:
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Suunto Stinger. I've never used one, but it usually gets mentioned in threads like these. Are there any nitrox only VPM computers?

The Suunto's seems to go into some unusually long deco for no apparent reason sometimes. We had a dive in October were I Left clean(Aladin Tec), my buddy Marcel(Some kind of Aeris)also left clean on a NDL Dive. My buddy Scott had 23 min of Deco. There are other threads on the Suunto for this.

I started using the Suunto Vytec DS and have been pleased so far as it matches my needs. The deep stop option and the ability to set the algorithm at 100% or 50% which has allowed me to match my computer with my cut tables. It allows three gasses which is plenty - dive on air, deco on a mix, and pure O2.
I should note attenuating the algorithm to 50% seems to be the "trick" to getting reasonable deco times. I would not use other Suunto's or the original Vytec as the deco times do seem to be rather conservative.
