Hi, I need to replace two ProSub computers. The batteries are dead and can't be serviced. These were mounted in a console with the pressure gauge. They are round and measure 2" in diameter and I'd like to get something that would be a direct replacement with user friendly battery replacement. Can be used as budget is a consideration. Thanks, Jim

Pelagic makes a variety. Check out Oceanic for inexpensive ones with user serviceable batteries.
DIve Right IN Scuba has the Oceanic Veo 2.0 on sale for three bills. You can probably get it in a console as well, but why not go wrist mount? Most seasoned divers do it that way. It's way easy to use and to read. I dove one for years.

As long as it is NOT RGBM or similar all other algorithms are acceptable. I have been diving with Uwatec Aladin for over 20yrs and I don't think DSAT is any 'better'. In fact I found DSAT too liberal to my liking, I have Veo 180 as back up.
Decided to put in a depth gauge in the console which opens up more options for the computer. I may try and open up the computer and play with a battery replacement. I'm not going to be out anything as it was part of some used equipment I acquired. I have my first computer still which is Parkway and I've replaced the battery in it a couple of times. Requires a soldering iron and a lot of silicone. My other computer is a Aeris Atomos 2. Here's an image of the ProSub computer. Jim

looks to be a bottom timer. not sure they hold their depth calibration if the battery dies, so even if you get a new battery in, getting the depth reading correct is another consideration.
Are you sure it is a computer? Because it looks exactly the same as the old Uwatec Bottom timer.
How to change the battery on Uwatec bottom timer is available on line but I do vividly remember the warning on disconnecting the dead battery. Because the memory is volatile.
Good luck.
