which gas-switching nitrox computer

[wedivebc]

I still like my NiTek 3 - and I've recently seen pre-owned ones on Ebay in the $200 to $300 range. If they had been available when I bought my NiTek 3, I probably would have bought a NiTek Plus or NiTek Duo instead, but I see no reason to switch currently.

In the "Computers" etc. forum you can see recent posts from folks who have 'bent' their Vytec computers, and talk about using them in gauge mode instead a lot of the time.

That was me who posted the thread about "bending a vytec" on a 220ft trimix dive because I forgot to use gauge mode. I am actually quite attached to my vytec and use it as a computer for about 80% of my diving. Since it doesn't do helium based mixes I can't use it for everything but I love the download software and I have logged almost 300 dives without problems. I looked at the nitek but found it hard to see the numbers under water.

I missed in your other post that you 'bent' your three mix two gas components per mix computer while diving three gas component mix I guess.

I started wearing contact lenses U/W and it's helped my enjoyment of the 'small stuff' as well as bigger stuff. My main complaint of the NiTek 3 is the lack of backlighting on night dives - but it doesn't bug me enough yet that I feel I need to replace it.

To each his own! Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part.

I run the DR Nitek3 and the Nitek HE. These allow me switch on the hover (not fly) and I can monitor my dive teams gases as well as my own. Between the two 10 gases in all. DR has provided excellent customer service to me and I see no need at this time to move on.
