Here's a Petrel for $620: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/cl.../501950-fs-shearwater-petrel-stand-alone.html

Used so is the warranty transferable?

I believe you have to actually buy the Amphos Air wrist computer to be able to add AI later. The regular Amphos does not support AI (I believe).

Hard to tell, their website seriously lacks details.

It's been a few months, but IIRC when I looked, their site listed an Amphos and an Amphos Air and an Amphos Air with AI transmitter.

I may also have concluded the same thing because I was looking at an Amphos in the SB Classifieds that was being sold because it wasn't AI-capable and the owner had replaced it with an Amphos Air and a transmitter.

We'll go with that then but since the OP doesn't want AI anyway...

How I am against computer with transmitters, I saw one interesting use of it.
My friend was checking buddy (inexperience) air !
So he keeps computer on his hand and transmitter was installed on buddy tank (I am not sure that buddy even knew about it).

...... dive computer ..... with the largest and best backlight I can find .....

Well, in terms of screen size and visibility, nothing comes even close to the iPad dive computer

...... wrist model ....

Unfortunately there is no way you can mount the iPad dive computer on your wrist

Be omniscient about your students:

Monitor the tank pressure of up to 10 divers within a 330ft/100m range
Know in which direction you can find them
Receive information on their approximate distance to you
Receive a warning if any student’s tank pressure gets dangerously low
Have a fully functional air integrated dive computer (see Lynx Air Integrated Dive Computer) for your own use and deco information

The resale on them is crazy. I can buy them brand new at my dive shop for $699 and they are asking 620 for used?
