Wow. Revolutionary info there....

Seriously though...
Is it worth the cost over a 'standard' computer, e.g. a Vytec?

Yes, but $999.00 without the transmitter. I think they sell them for 1300 complete. You should be able to get one from your LDS for $1400 and tax.

US$1250 shipped with transmitter, PC software, 4 year warranty. I just ordered mine

Did anyone buy a Suunto D9 yet? It looks sweet.

Got mine 10 days ago, and made my first dive with it yesterday. The functionalities are really nice, and so is the look. I particularly like the built-in compass, since in the murky waters of Lake Geneva this is a crucial piece of gear...

Now for the not-so-nice stuff. I really hate Suunto Dive Manager 2.x, but you need this POS to download your dive data from the D9. I may start a separate thread on this, because I think that Suunto really missed the boat with SDM2. Second, I had a very hard time reading the D9's display. I am wearing a mask with reading lenses at the bottom, which is usually enough to read my instruments. With the D9, I could hardly read the depth, let alone the remaining tank pressure, ND time, etc. Conditions were far from ideal, and I was a bit stressed from having forgotten my ankle weights and thus being a little underweighted, but I had no trouble reading the Uwatec bottom timer's display on my other wrist. More when I have more than one dive on the D9...

Dear all

Thanks for all inputs so far.

Regarding the data transfer, I was told from Suunto acknowledged the bug about "EAccess violation" on the DM software. They sent the update version of DM that is not listed on their web site yet.

Actually, it doesn’t matter whether or not D9 has the dive logs before. The data transfer (or sync) between D9 and PC should work. For example, even though you don’t have any data on your PDA, you still can synchronize PDA with PC. So, it was the bug on DM.

In addition, there is an issue about conflict between PDA Sync software and DM. In my case, I run and test Active Sync 8.0 and DM transfer simultaneously by using USB ports. It works flawlessly right now.

Thanks.

Both errors indicate you have no dives on the unit, hence no logs and no data to transfer to your PC.
Why are you trying to perform this task?

Can anyone tell me if the D9 is as conservative as the Stinger. I recently sold my Stinger because it would put me into Deco much faster than my wifes Suunto Octopus. I cannot imagine doing a liveaboard with the Stinger. Does anyone know if the D9 is as conservative as the Stinger?? Would the Deep Stop method help to alleviate this??

I believe it's the same algorithm

Hey, why do we buy D9 from your place? Even, your price (D9=$1,649.99, MSRP 1750) is not attractive at all. I can get D9 from any LDS with that price. ​

Please move your advertising post to "Classified section," not here.

And, even we don't know you that much to invest $1650.
