I'm still stuck on which computer to get. I've looked at the features of these three computers and have my choices narrowed down to these, the Stinger (or Vyper, same thing in different case), Atmos 2, or SmartPro
Merits of each:
Stinger:
Pro: small size, Suunto product, push buttons instead of contacts
Con: small size, expensive, no detailed time-to-fly info, no nitrogen loading bar
Atmos 2:
Pro: big numbers, liberal algorithm, compact, nitrogen bar, desat time count
Con: arbitrary 24hr time-to-fly count
SmartPro
Pro: big display, real countdowns for fly time and desat, N2 bar, detailed deco info, adaptive algorithm
Con: Uwatec product, rather large, lick-and-click contacts (I can't work them), must have PC interface to change some settings, quite conservative
I'm not familiar with the computer downloading on any of those. Are any of them a USB connection? How about Mac compatable? I'd like to be able to fully use the computer without a pc interface if possible.
What are your experiences with these, and what opinions of them do you have?
Thanks!
