Question What alarms do you want on your dive computer?

[scubadada]

This poll was prompted by an ongoing, active thread Why is there no alert system on the perdix ?

Alarm is useful for some divers and also for guide and buddy.
Must be able to disengage if required.

Other; don’t care so long as I can turn it off.

Other = None. I don't care what the computer comes with as long as I can turn them off. The visual display and visual cues for things like PPO2 too high, MOD violation, NDL low, deco time, tank pressure low, etc are all that I need.

EDIT - Reread the poll and changed my vote to visual information only.

Happy hour!

Visual only for me. I have a Citizen dive watch with a built in depth gauge that logs max depth and dive time. Love the watch, but it has an ULTRA sensitive ascent warning. In the 10-20 foot range, if I raise my right arm to dump air, it starts beeping. Annoying as F. I am sure it annoys everyone else, just like their random beeps annoy me. I don't dive with it any more.

Thanks, the choice for visual information only was to address that. The ability to disable audible and haptic alarms would leave only visual information.

I dive 2 computers. My nearly 12 year old Oceanic VT3 has had audible alarms disabled since initially configured. I have had a Teric for nearly 3 years, the audible and haptic alarms have been turned off from the beginning. Both computers give me visual information. I voted for visual information only in the poll. Sorry if it's not clear

Audible and haptic alarms but I want the ability to customize them including turning either one or both off.

I took exception to “only” my Teric’s have way more features than I use, I just don’t see a reason to care if a piece of equipment can do more than I use.

I like choices so might as well have audible and haptic.
