I'm looking for a bottom timer, my LDS mostly sell Suunto's products.
Their D3 is like 35% on sale so it's pretty tempting.
But I though why pay for a D3 when I can pay a little more for Vyper and use the computer for nitrox/deco or simply gauge mode ...
But then I read on scubatoys ( http://www.scubatoys.com/store/joelarry/suunto.asp ) that the suunto algorythm is so conservative it would give you less than 50 min for a 60foot dive so I was thinking why pay more if I wouldnt rely very much on the computer and only use is the gauge mode and the tables.
My question is, are the suunto computers really that conservative? Is it worth it to spend 2x more for the Vyper compared to the D3?
