OTOH, don't underestimate OE2X's advice. If you decide to go tech the Cobra could be a liability (and a really expensive one at that). If you get into all the mixed gas stuff, its not gonna cut it, and the fact is it won't even be that great of a bottom timer.OE2X:A couple of years ago I got a AI Uwatec NitroxZ. I used it for a few dives. Then I got an SPG and took off the AI feature. Now I use the computer only as a bottom timer and depth gauge. Wish I had saved the money in the first place.
If you buy from a Scubapro dealer, they will change the batteries on your Uwatec computer for you for free, for life. So its not quite as bad as it sounds.Stryker:thats a very good point... ive been told how much it costs just to change the battery, and I couldnt believe how much it cost.... the user replaceable battery is a very nice feature...
Stryker:Why do you feel it would not be good for tech? I am looking to getting into cave and wreck diving, and want something I can grow into....
