    Suunto Gekko

    Hey Divers,

    I Dive w/a Vyper and love it, and I would like to get my wife who will be cert'd soon a Gekko. I'm having a hard time find great prices here in the states. I could buy from LP, but I would like to have a warranty. So does anyone know has really good deals on the Suunto Gekko w/warranty? Thanks in advance for the info.

    Are you sure that Suunto products from LP aren't warrantied? I was pretty sure Suunto was one of the brands that didn't care about that whole game...

    I carry a Gekko as backup to my Viper, and it is a great little computer.
    Suunto is distributed in the US by Aqua Lung, and they definitely won't warrant computers sold by LP. An option would be to buy from Divetank. They are a Canadian reseller, (in Vancouver, I think) and will honor Suunto's warranty, although you would probably have to send it back to them for warranty service.

    No Light

    Just one thing about the Gekko, It does not have a light, It has the phosphorescent (sp?) screen.

    It's OK for night / low vis diving, but not great.

    Apart from that I love it.

    Try divetank.net they are in canada, and are very helpful when making these sorts of purchases and decisions. They are authorized suunto dealers too as far as i know. Hope it helps.
