I'm a new diver and need to get my first DC. I am Nitrox certified and don't plan on diving beyond rec limits. When I get to the coast to dive, I tend to do repetitive dives over a few days.
In comparing DCs, I kind of like the Oceanic algorithm vs Suunto or Cressi. I know my bottom time is limited by air now, but was hoping the DC would grow with me over a couple of years, instead of being locked into a conservative one. The computers I've compared are Suunto Zoop Novo, Cressi Giotti, & Oceanic Geo 2/ Veo 3, and are running ~$275 to $350. I've heard the Oceanic is a pain to learn, but with the online class is fine.
LP has the closeout Oceanic Veo 3 for $275 & the Geo 2 for $350. There isn't really much difference between the two, is there? Would the Veo 3 work for a new diver or should I just go with the basic Zoop?
Thanks!
