I am looking to get a dive computer that has integrated wireless air. I already have a new Suunto wireless transmitter. So all I need is the watch part.

But before I buy a D9tx, is there a better dive computer out there that has integrated wireless air and can do the technical (nitrox, mixed gases) diving and normal (normal compressed air) recreational diving?
Just want to make sure I am not missing anything.
Thanks
 
That's odd that you would have a transmitter before a computer.
If you want to stay Sunnto and keep the transmitter it should sync up with the Vyper Air (2 gas), HelO2 which is the "full sized" version of the D9tx, older D9, D6i and D4i.

In the relm of technical dive computers, there are a a couple that are "better" ie: Liquidvision and Shearwater to name a couple. The D9tx will work for tech but I have found the display to small for me to effectivley see at deeper depths. I use a HelO2 and I wish they would update the display plus a few other features.
It is debatable whether using air intergration on technical dives is a wise choice. A coulpe items of discussion are; it creates another failure point and has the potential to be mistaken for a handle.
 
Within the Suunto line up I prefer the Helo2 larger display but would not use it deeper than 50 meter due to conservatism. The DG05 and some Liquivison devices support wireless with good technical functionality.

I am not a fan of wireless AI for technical dives, but that's just me. The Shearwaters are fantasitc devices but dont have wireless AI.

IMO if you are serious about tec diving get the best possible computer available and thats Shearwater.
 
If you think you will to technical, maybe first lose that transmitter. The intergreated compass also isn't very practical. And for the cost of D9, I will definitely go with Shearwater or Liquidvision.
