I'm talking wrist mount not console....so wireless.
And at my age I seriously doubt if I'll ever get back into trimix diving.... so recreational Nitrox....+ MAYBE just a little light technical deco diving but that's unlikely too....
So I posted a different thread about my old dead battery Aladin Pro Nitrox.
I'll still plan on giving the battery change a try.....
but still daydreaming that IF any of my family takes to diving and I therefore get active again, I very well will probably splurge on something more modern. Looks like the bigger displays of some of the newer ones might be easier to see and I'm guessing that the user interfaces of many are more intuitive too.
I've never really considered air integrated before. Back in the day they were outside of my budget + even though I have always been a "gadget" guy it seemed like necessary and too complicated stuff...more failure prone for no real advantage, especially the wireless wrist mounted ones
But now I'm wondering...what real advantages do you see with diving your air integrated computer.
Much easier and obvious display of your SAC/RMV rate...which I suppose is a little interesting knowledge for future planning...but not really necessary.
What else?
and how reliable are they? Are they sometimes a hassle to get the sensor to sync up when on the boat scrambling to gear up before the dive?
Do most folks still also rig a SPG as a backup?
