Hi Guys,

I realize that this is an ongoing question, and while it's the old äpples and oranges"thing comparing them, I'm trying to work out some issues .

The Galileo is very attractive because of it's more "physiological " approach to tailoring profiles ; ie taking into account diver work ( be it very approximate, it's still quite an advancement from tables based on studying bubbles in shrimp).

Anyway; from a pure practical point of view, now that it's been out for about a year, what are the challenges, glitches? Are there still transmitter idiosyncracies that one has to deal with, as in heart rate, air contents etc? How fragile is it overall?

The D9 has limitations, (small screen), but Suunto still has a great algorithm for avoiding (as much as is ever possible) DCS.

Very grateful for your patience and kindness in responding.
Max.
