Hello everybody...

[Gaucho]

Hello to all. I just registered to these boards, and am also quite new to Scuba. Started off early this year, and am now working on my Advanced certification. Hope to get that under the belt in the next couple of weeks and also Nitrox certification.

I hope to be able to get some advice on what console/computer to purchase, I already have my own BC and regulator. Look forward to getting to know a couple of the regulars on these boards in the future.

Cheers,
Gaucho

Welcome to the board! There's plenty of advices to go and ask. I have a Tusa compact gauges (PSI, compass, and computer that collect valuable data such as water temperature, depth, ascent rate, dive logs, history, and many more.. Enjoy your advance and nitrox classes.
Dive in Peace!

Sorry about the mix up! I typed in the website backward rather than the right way. Anyway, the catalog I recieved for my Tusa computer was from Divers Direct. Sorry!!

Hello Gaucho, welcome to the Scubasource family. There are more than a few divers whom prefer the Suunto Cobra. It's a great unit, that many recommend highly. You can go to the Suunto Diving site to see and play with it, if you choose to download the demo.


Sea you in the Deep Blue!

Thanks for the welcome & the info., Mario & Gasman. Im a native Argentine, although my early family life and current job has made me into a nomadic citizen of the world.

Im really hooked on to this scuba thing, and look forward to contributing to the boards.

Cheers,
Gaucho

One other question. Just so I post in the correct forum, where would I go for advice on where to dive during a certain time of the year...??

Bienvenido Gaucho! You've found the right place to spend your surface time....

I'm also working on my Advanced now, although with weather conditions in THailand it might take me a few months to get it finished! ;-( I don't have my own computer yet, but a friend of mine was trying out her new Suunto Vyper last weekend - she showed me how it worked - I thought it was pretty cool, easy to use...

There is a separate forum for Dive travel - scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll find the Forum Jump pop up menu... THere is a complete travel category with separate forums for different regions. Basically you can ask questions anywhere but they might get answered more promptly if asked in the relevant forum.

Good luck with your Advanced - come back and tell us about it...
Cheers
