Warning Dive Rite Nitek Duo

[decoeric]

You can't go wrong with the VR3, the rep is right here in Wisconsin (call and she can direct you to a dealer, (608)238-4803) I haven't seen any of them do anything unpredictable, and the batteries are easy to change (beware of the Uwatec and OMS computers and timers, especially the older ones- they have to go back to the factory for battery changes, and some are even out of "support" phase, so you're SOL like mine and 2 others I saw get their "E" prompt this week!) VR3 comes in many different options and they're completely upgradeable. And Kevin Gurr the CEO rocks too. Price=about a grand. Worth it? YES, every penny. Nothing like having that was BUILT for abuse. You can compare it with the DR Best features are obviously the multi-gas capability and trimix (up to 10), and the dive planner lets you cut tables that will match the VR3, without having to haul a laptop around! It used to use the Buhlmann-8 previously, I believe; now they have or will have VPM, which is nice for those dive planning with V-Planner.

Cool thanks for the information on the VR3 I have looked at them but never really checked them out much. I have heard more bad things about the Explorer and the Nitek HE than I have heard about the VR3 so right now I am leaning toward the VR3. I am going to look at one on Monday with a dealer here in the Twin Cities he is going to show me around on it and then let me take one to Wazee next weekend to try it out. Should be interesting. Anything else I should know?
