need help picking a computer

[richhagelin]

Just got an Oceanic Versa Pro and love it. Big numbers (important for those of us of a "certain age"). No extraneous information (unless you want it). Like the bar graphs.

Sunnto Vyper

It is versitale, been around and diver tested and conservative. If I want to throw the conservative out then just put it in gauge mode. Downloadable and you can do wristmount or console..

If you base your decision strictly on price, you're doing yourself a big disservice and will regret it shortly down the road.

For the people that voted "Other" can you pleas explain what you would rather have and why.

I prefer not to use a computer but rather a depth gauge and bottom timer.

The reason (beside CRYB) is that I am interested in controlling my dive according to the time spent at depth and I am not interested in what a computer thinks my remaining NDL time is.

I hesitated to respond to this thread since you have your heart set on getting a computer... but you should at least be made aware that not everyone believes they are necessary or even a good thing.

There's more but not for this thread.

I know it's not on your "basic" list, but this is a great computer for only slightly more money than many of the computers you have listed. Of course, I don't know how many $$ you consider to be "an arm and a leg."

The Vyper has a large, easy to read display, can be used with either air or nitrox. It has a nice dive log feature, and I find the buttons easy to use.

Finally, if you decide to follow UP's advice regarding the bottom timer, the Vyper has a gauge mode for just this purpose.

I use aladin air z nitrox and I love it I recommend you get one of UWATEC line.
