It is all on the wrist

Advantages: Small with a clear display
Disadvantages: Bit pricey.

...one of which was the Suunto D6 dive computer which at a retail price of £470 is a pretty decent prize to win. I was tempted to sell it straight on as I already have a dive computer which I'm really happy with and that meets my diving needs as it has two gas settings for when I dive with Nitrox gas. However the benefit of the Suunto was that it is a small watch style computer and therefore would be slightly lighter and less bulky when travelling abroad ...
...is to always factor in potential kit failure and have a back up I decided to keep it and boy am I glad that I did. Basically the D6 is the same as the D9 however it does not have the radio linked receiver that is used to calculate the remaining gas time from a transmitter that is attached to your tanks. I have never really bought into using this device being quite happy to rely on the standard pressure gauge that has served divers for decades and ...

Suunto Mosquito diving wrist diving computer

Advantages: very easy to read underwater
Disadvantages: battery life not very good

...6 months, but the battery change is not too expensive to replace. It is always recommended that you have the battery changed by a Suunto dealer who will also provide a limited guarantee that it has been pressure tested. The Suunto Mosquito is now being replaced by the Suunto D4 ...

Replacing Luck

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

SUUNTO "GEKKO" DIVE COMPUTOR After getting into scuba diving this was the first piece of equipment that I purchased. I bought it at Male airport in the Maldives for £130 about 15 months ago. Description The "Gekko" is an ideal choice for divers who do not require PC interface or simulation features. The "Gekko" is suitable for both air and nitrox and is designed to give specifics of any diving situation including decompression at a glance. Both ...
...clear, colour coded indicators. A feature which I really like is the visual and audio alarms given when necessary. Maximum depth and dive time alarms can be enabled too. It's extremely simple to operate with easy to use buttons and a straightforward menu. It also has an extensive logbook which stores up to 50 hours of dive profiles & logbook data, including dive start time, date, dive time and maximum depth attained. It should keep the keenest of ...

Review of Suunto Gekko

Not all Mosquitos need bug spray

Advantages: small and light
Disadvantages: pc interface isnt as tough as it could be

...just hope that the replacement model is as good. Currently as it is a discontinued model you cant buy direct from Suunto but roho are selling it via their webshop for £225. The pc interface costs either £33 for the serial port version or £55 for the USB version. ...

Review of Suunto Mosquito

The only dive computer you will ever need

Advantages: Does the lot.
Disadvantages: Not a lot.

...visited the old premises of Delta P Technology in Wimborne, Dorset, upon the premise of buying one directly. I met Philippa (who had just given me a frightfully hard stare for obstructing her spot in the car-park, which was my fault entirely and not a problem really) and Kev, the proprietor of Delta P Technology. Both were very helpful. I also met the author of the software, Matt, who spared me some of his time to demonstrate it on a PC, which the ...
...or products can be improved. Delta P’s appeared to have done it. The new VR3, like its predecessor, also has the CCR O2 sensor port option, which I intend to look at in the future. I know of many CCR divers have asked for computer integration with rebreathers and this one neatly bridges the gap. The computer, in effect, will be able to sense what you’re breathing. This makes its decompression calculations that bit more precise. GETTING TO GRIPS ...
