Lost computer

[ggunn]

Today at about noon my wife lost her Oceanic Prodigy in a black rubber wrist case at the south end of Cedral. PM me if you find it.

Failing that, what recommendations does the group have for shopping for a replacement here on the island? We are here for 11 more days.

I would see if BA Dive Shop will lend her one.

Good idea. We will ask when they open tomorrow

I think Aldora might rent out of their downtown shop. I think I've seen wrist computers displayed there that may have been rentals. Cozumel Scuba Repair does not rent them or sell them, unfortunately.

Good luck and hope the wind cooperates!

I bought this computer and decided to attach a bungee with super glued caps. So far it doesn't slip down my wrist when I'm doing pool sessions. This allows the strap to sit loose on my arm.

Try Cozumel Scuba Repair. Renting for 10 days will be $100. Put that to a new computer.

Prodigy? Is that like a 18 yr + old computer?

I believe it is. Just did a check. 2007. Only 42 dives on it. $40 US. Can't go wrong. Expensive computers don't stop you from getting DCS. Plus, if you lose it, there's a good chance you won't get it back. What do you think of my bungee straps?

I had one (my 1st dive computer). It was OK. I did not like it change modes by itself and loose depth into for a few seconds (mine was really old probably 1st generation).
It used DSAT algorithm and did not do nitrox.
I prefer Bühlmann ZH-L16C or RGBM.

Edit:
Shearwater uses Bühlmann ZH-L16C with gradient factors. My Mares uses RGBM with user conservative factors.

Correction. The prodigy came out in 2002 (22 years ago) and used a Modified Haldanean Algorithm that is similar to DSAT.
