Suunto Vyper

[peter k]

OK folks,
          After much deliberating I've decided to get a Vyper. If I ask for recommendations of where to get one from I'll just get bombarded with loads of places. So I ask you, the shop that you would recommend, how much do they want for one?

£199 from Go Dive in Derby is the cheapest I've see them Peter, not sure if you could get it any cheaper at the dive show..

£199 is what i paid at Kent Diving as well, last year just after LIDS. Great 'Puter, good choice.

Had it the following day.

Peter,

Two things,

a) sorry I have not replied to your PM, I have been meaning to, honest.
b) it really is worth it to try and go the extra mile and get the Vytec, it allows for gas switching, doesn't seem like much now, but I got a Vyper and ended up with a Vytec 1 year later, anoying and a complete waste of money.

The Vytec will do all types of diving, bar Trimix and even then it has a gauge mode with a stopwatch which is a fantastic option for deco stops. It has proven to be an invaluable tool for me. I still use it even though I now have a VR3, and will continue to do so. The Vyper on the other hand, whist a great computer, has now been sold for a considerable loss.

The three shops to try (cos they are always the cheepest) Go Dive, Denny Diving and SDS Watersports. SDS will respond to "oh, the other shop will do it for £XXX"

Take care,

Andrew

I managed to con Nautilus (Collins and Chambers) out of a Vyper for £165 this time last year, with the old chestnut "I've seen it for that price somewhere else blah blah".  Who says you can't teach a new dog old tricks? :-)  

cheers

They were around £160 at the dive show two years ago.  Sounds like a good investment

Suunto prices seem to go up and down all the time

Peter - I got mine at last year's Brum dive show for £185.  I can't for the life of me recall which stand it was but am sure that'll be the best place to get a good deal if you cna make it.

Peter,
I found This Page. Which has them at £190.85. However I am waiting until the Dive Show to get mine.

I paid £250 at the LIDS dive show for a Vitec with the computer interface and softwhere pac two years ago. I bunched it in with my M8 who baught an Apex 200 reg set with presure and contentce gauge at the same time.
