HI

I have had a suunto stinger and want to upgrade to something that is a little "more", I still want it to show the time when asked but want a computer that has more applications for use as my diving experience increases. I do like air integrated computers ( vytec and aladin air z 02 ) but the vr2 has a alot more on offer in the later stages of diving.
Anyway does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks
james

Sure it may go wrong or not function correctly but then so could a analogue guage.

In which case maybe we should all have 2 guages just in case one goes wrong, and how would we know which one had gone wrong if there was a discrepency?

Yep it's a gimmick, yep it's a expensive luxary, but personally I would not consider it any more unreliable than a analogue guage.

Got to agree with Daz,

I've got an Aladin air Nitrox Z AI and love it. Saying that I do carry a depth and pressure gauge with me (use it for instruction). I would say that I've never had a problem with the computer, though I'm now on my second set of gauges.
