What Nitrox computer would you suggest?

[caymaniac]

My wife has a console with the Vyper, and I have a Genesis hoseless with no nitrox capability, what would you suggest for a computer for myself that would be relatively inexpensive for doing Nitrox dives. We've been Nitrox certified for two years but haven't been on a dive vacation where we've been able to use it. This coming spring we are going to use Nitrox on our trip, so I thought the board could help me out.
Thank you,
Caymaniac

As your wife has a vyper why not look at the Suunto Mosquito ?

Why not another Vyper? Buy the wrist mounted model.

If you both have the same computer, you both have the same profiles...No probllem having to compare to see which computer is telling you to do what when.

I have the wrist-mounted Vyper also, and love it.

Completely agree with scubasean. The Suunto Vyper is an outstanding rig for what you are going to use if for and why put yourself in a possition of having different profiles? Just get a wrist Vyper. Love mine and many on this board are Suunto fans. $300 at LP.............No Worries!

get a suunto cobra. Similar electronics and display to your partner's viper, but air integrated so it serves as your full guage pack (air pressure, computer, etc.). In fact I think it's almost the same unit as the vyper but in a guage-pack case instead of a wrist-mount case.

I'd used a suunto eon for years and loved it. Fantastic air integrated computer. Rugged and durable, great display of information, totally reliable. Only problem - not nitrox (also not PC-compatible). Upgraded to the cobra after nitrox certification. It's everything you'll need and more. I don't upload my dive data to my PC, but you can with the cobra/vyper.

If you want a wrist-mounted air integrated computer, suunto has the Vytec. I think it's really expensive though...

Vyper...

vytek! Loved mine till it was stolen. Used it with a Cobra. Could not drop the $374 for the transmitter. Saving $ to replace it and for insurance. Although it was my fault for the loss. I still hate the Plaza. And the cattle boats...

Same profiles, same unit, yada yada. Plus it's relatively cheap and has growth potential.
