Hello
I am researching dive computers for my wife. I use a large wrist mount Cressi but that size instrument is not practical for a person her size. On our last dive trip a fellow diver loaned her a Suunto Mosquito for the day and she found it totally natural to use. I have heard some complaints about the Mosquito and there are several other dive computers in the same size class. In particular the Dive Rite Nitek Plus seems to be a nice machine. Here is a comparison of features that I have gleened from documentation. I'm losing the white spaces on submission so I hope you can see that I'm trying to do a table below.
Mosquito Nitek Plus
price $330 $500
size Both are wristwatch size
altitude adjustment manual automatic
turn on automatic automatic
back light yes yes
battery replacement user factory
nitrox 1 mix 2 mix
guage mode no yes
audible alarm yes yes
I searched for a thread on this subject but did not find anything on point. If you have experience with either of these computers any comments are greatly appreciated.
