Dive Computers??!! You really but your foot in this one now and I will be doing exactly the saem by responding to your question. The reason for this is that what ever I say now, there will be other divers/instructors which have different views and oppinions, which is good, but might also confuse the situation even more. There are many different computers on the market and it takes a bit of time to actually get your head around what is the best one for you. The way to get on this task is to find out what kind of diving do you actually do. Recreational, technical diving or a bit of both?? Or do you want a computer which is a watch as well, or do you already have a watch and therefore want a dive computer solely for diving, should the computer be by itself or should it be air integrated??. How old are you and how good is your eye site. Is the size of the screen and the numbers of any relevance?? These are just a few questions you might want to ask yourself first.
A very good source of information is diving magazines as they are running articles and comparisons on various computers on a more or less regular basis. Visit your local dive store and get the guys down there to explain the various options you have.
Personally, I am diving with UWATEC computers. This is a Swiss made computer, which is owned by Scubapro. SUUNTO, MARES, Oceanic are just a few of the brands you can have a look at.
Most computers these days are very good. This means that it is down to you and your preference with which computer you want to go diving.
