In looking at computers I'd initially started to settle on the TUSA IQ-950 Zen Air. I want a wrist mount, I want air integrated (though I'll keep an analog SPG as backup), I'm looking at using Mac Dive as my electronic log and so compatibility there was high on the list - and last but not least I wanted to work with my LDS. While they don't stock the TUSA computers they are dealers.

In talking with people and researching here, there's some "concern" about TUSA's algorithm being too conservative. The chart on the sticky in this forum corroborates that, to an extent.

I know a lot of people dive Suunto and some of the other more conservative brands and are perfectly happy. I don't feel the need to push the edge on every dive, but I don't want to be missing out on bottom time either. In practice, how much does this matter?
