Another vote for the Oceanic Veo 180. I love mine. Easy to read, simple to use, and does everything I want and expect to grow into. That's a great deal at LP.

Thanks for the honest advice. Nothing beats word of mouth and personal experiences.

Aeris XR-2 for me hands down best piece of gear I purchased. Air/Nitrox and all features you need such as backlight, safety stop counter, dive simulator and a bunch of other useful stuff

Sorry for the hijack but can the 180 be run in gauge mode?
Thanks, Brad

yes the veo 180 will do gauge mode,hard to beat for a 180 dollars,i have been diving mine since march without any issues or wished i had bought anything else.I bought mine on sale in march for 250 dollars and was the best deal i could find anywhere on a nitrox computer.

I bought 2 of the Veo 180NX from LP for $200 each plus the USB download cable for $75 a few months ago. Even though I'm not looking to do Nitrox anytime soon it does have that capability. I also like the wrist since we rent gear.
The only complaint I have is that it is difficult to get the download cable to work properly. It takes multiple attempts and then some cleaning of the contacts. It might be a problem with the particular cable I have since I have the same problem with both computers. I'd be interested to know if others have the same problem.
All in all, I am happy with them and particularly at the price I paid (even better at $180!).

I'll also recommend the Cressi Archimede II (Also sold as Tusa IQ-700, Apeks Quantum, and Dive Rite Duo) which is made by Seiko. I've had my Archimede (the older model) for almost 5 years now and have only had to replace the battery once. I like the reliability and large numbers. I've just bought a Dive Rite Duo because I want to use it's two-gas feature.
