hey I just start class for aow they say I need a nitrox computer I have a sunntoe favor air only. I have looked at three computers
1 the viper
2 the aiers savant
3 dive rite nitek 1

I know they call for recall on aries but in all in all do these computers funtion the same. I know there are lots of computers but I want to support my dive shop.

I would suggest the Viper mainly for the fact that you already have a Favor, so you are used to Suunto's layout. The Viper is a quality computer and you can't go wrong with it.

Vyper, or Vytec. That's what I'd do.

I'm with madmole on this one. Upcpaul, who is "they" and what was their reasoning behind that statement? Did you plan on taking the EAN specialty course?

Never heard of any AOW course that requires a Nitrox computer. Can't imagine why you would need one, you're not diving Nitrox, are you?
Maybe your LDS trying to pull a fast one and make a sale? I'd definitely question them on the subject !

That aside, Nitrox is a good thing you might well pursue sometime down the road. Of the computers mentioned, I like the Vyper the best. Or consider a Uwatec Smart Pro, another good wrist computer with EAN capability.

But before you run out to get a new computer, make sure there's a good reason for it. I can't see one. :rolleyes:
