I'm just getting back into diving after a 13 year hiatus. At that time dive computers were in their infancy and for the most part no one used them. Obviously things have changed.
It seems that, although they will never replace tables and common sense, that they have almost become a "must have" item. Since this is a completly new subject for me I am clueless as to what to look for, but I have read through the reports on Roedale's.
I am not looking for a low-cost, entry level computer, but I don't need a top-of-the-line model either. Since nitrox is something that I will probably soon deal with I'd like one that is nitox capable, but also a top notch air computer as well. What features are necessary and what is useless?
I've always used primarily ScubaPro gear and have always been happy with it, how are their computers? The Ultra-Pro looks like it might be a good choice. Is any one mfg. considered the best mfg. of computers, any to avoid? I think I would prefer a console computer, but is a wrist mount a better choice or is is completely subjective; pros/cons of both?
Obviously I don't know much about this subject, so I would sure apprecite some good advice from you guys and gals who are more familiar with this stuff! Thanks a million!!!!!
