Looking for a dive computer

[matt t.]

I would stay away from "air integrated" computers (hosed AND hoseless), and don't buy a Cochran (junk). As mentioned, Uwatec and Suunto are probably the most popular in this area, and Oceanic makes some nice ones as well. I'm not clear if you are looking for a computer that will do planned deco dives, or a recreational computer that will get you out of trouble if you overstay your NDL. Any of the computers out there today will guide you if you stay past the NDL. You'll definitely want one with user replaceable batteries. I've had 3 Uwatec computers and 1 Suunto. I'd own any of them again, as they were ALL good. Uwatec (Scubapro) has excellent customer service if needed. Good luck and let us know what you get.
