grahamsp:Even if you do no decompression diving at all, mounting your computer on the right wrist is my strong recommendation. Easier to look at, which you do constantly on ascent and on safety stops whilst leaving the left hand free to dump/add air from/into the BCD.
hoosier:It is easy to say that we need a back up gauge to save my AXX. But, if we eventually need a console gauge with wrist mounted computer, why do we pay the high price for a wrist computer? Many people are diving only with a console without a wrist computer. So, it means that the wrist mounted computer is not reliable?
I am also looking for the high end computer, either Smart TEC wrist or Suunto D9. The main reason is less bulky equipment and possible deep dive for a scientific research.
If I definitely need a consol again, there is no reason to have a wrist mounted computer to me.
It is only my 2c question.
Safe dive!
