First let me say thanks to Ashley from Atomic Aquatics for brining all the cool Atomic gear out to Catalina for the Demo Day. She brought masks, fins, snorkels and many, many regs, but the star of the show was the new (not yet released) Cobalt dive computer.
I didn't actually dive with it as I am still trying to figure out my own new computer (Oceanic Pro Plus), but my dive buddy was using it and I got to play with it on shore.
The first thing you notice is the OLED screen. It is the most legible and easy to read screen I have ever seen. It is so colorful and bright it looks like reading an ipod under water. The vis was pretty poor at between 15-20 ft and I could read my buddy's Cobalt from 3 feet away! That was impressive, as I usually need my reading glasses to read a menu in a restaurant.
The four buttons are easy to use even wearing gloves and the menu system is intuitive and easy to use by scrolling through drop down menus. It has so many fuctions I could have played with it for hours. I particularly liked the dive profiles that are kept in memory and can be downloaded onto your pc.
This is an amazing dive computer and I feel privileged to be one of the first people to see it in action. Thanks Ashley and Atomic Aquatics.
