Cobra is AI, so to mount on the wrist you will need a high pressure hose to it. It can not work with a transducer.

Sorry, but I think you're stuck with it on a hose.

I used to have one. Note the word used.
Good computer, but the air integration wasn't worth the hassle of not having it on your wrist.

You could probably sell it for around £200 (I did) as that's a bit of a bargain for what it costs new and get a Gekko which does exactly the same things and have £50 change.

I have a Cobra for a good 8 years now. I like it not because of the AI but because I prefer it to a wrist mounted computer. My last wrist mounted computer flew off into the sea when taking off wetsuit on a RIB, the one before got crushed under a 15l cylinder!
It's a matter of getting used to it, yet if you are sure you don't like it then flog it on ebay and get a wrist mounted one.

Redundancy
The Cobra is a good little computer. As many recommend either two computers or one computer plus tables, why not keep it and get a wrist mounted computer as the primary and use the Cobra as backup?

Thats what I did for open circuit and it works well.
