Does anyone know of any wrist mounted computers that have both freediving and SCUBA capabilities, with or without hoseless air integration?
Thanks

It would be a crappy free diving computer if it was wrist mounted and was not wireless AI.
So you want a wrist mounted dive computer that is wireless AI?
Aeris Epic does. DiveAeris.com - Scuba Diving Computers - Epic Hoseless Dive Computer Watch
I'm sure there are a lot more.

I have experience with the Manta (same as the Geo), and the D4. All these do very well as freediving computers, and none have Air Integrated.
Manta: I went through 4 of them, all had pressure sensor and/or battery failures. After 4 units I gave up on the type. (Note: thee factory support was great! I felt the model had a tendency for a bit too much support, though.)
D4: Superb as a freediving computer! Air/Nitrox scuba computer, does okay, but way over the top conservatism - I was on several dives last month where it told me I was in deco, while my other computer told me I had 45 minutes of NDL left.
All the best, James

Thanks for the recommendations.
Is the Aeris Epic known to be more conservative or liberal?

Liberal on your first dive, but they get more conservative on repetitive dives.

Late 2008 through July 2009.
I really, really liked it - it just had too many issues, and I lost confidence in the design. I have heard similar stories from the Geo (the Oceanic version of the Manta). You can't imagine the frustration from replacing the battery, only to have it dead in a week!
