Other than colors, does anyone know what (if any ) are the differences between the new and old models of the Oceanic Geo computer? There is a large difference in price.

I have wondered the same question. There is a significant price difference.

Anyone? I guess this computer does not have enough bells and whistles for anyone around here to care about it.

I doubt that. There is such a wide range of divers on SB...from those who dive extremely high tech to those who don't even use a computer. Maybe no one knows the answer to the question.
My guess is that it's the same computer with the only additions being a fancy paint job and a bigger price tag.

@Hemlon, you can doubt what I say, but when I look at the threads in this part of the forum, the computers with multiple gas support and wireless integration seem to be the ones getting all the attention.
As someone who has done a two gas dive or three, I can say it is not a trivial thing. I doubt that even 2% of the owners of 2 gas capable computers have ever done one. For that matter, I lock mine in gauge mode and write the plan on a slate.
As for whether they don't know, that's probably true & so obvious you did not need to remind me.
