Hello!
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but after scanning the archives I'd still like to ask for verification...
I'm a new, enthused diver and am looking forward to outfitting myself. I'm not yet clear on whether I should get a simple pressure gauge (are they called analogue?) and then wear a wrist computer, or if I should simply get a computer console.
I guess both options have have their pros and cons?
I was considering the wrist computer mainly because of reading about the unreliability of computers, and how they may suddenly die on you. Because I'm going to Indonesia for the month of June, it could be quite difficult to fix a computer there.
Also, money is a bit of an issue. How inexpensive do you reckon I could go without being self defeating?
Thanks so much!
Pamela
