    Question Looking for 2nd Computer

    I am looking for a 2nd computer. I have been looking at Corchrans, Mares ICON, and some others. I would like a large screen, wrist type. Any suggestions?

    I have a Sunto Gekko, but need something that takes more tissue samples, and is more flexible.

    Oceanic VEO 3.0 Nitrox Wrist Computer reviews and discounts, Oceanic

    About as flexible as you can get without AI? I just happen to like Oceanic/Aeris computers.

    None of them take tissue samples.

    I am referring to the theoritical tissue half times used in the algorithm calculations. All computers do this, its the basis for their provided information.

    I like the Dive Rite Nitek Trio, but I have heard good things about the Oceanic OC1... The Trio is a 3 gas Nitrox computer that uses the ZH-L16 Algorithem <~~~(pardon my spelling), and has a built in compass... It goes for about $395.99...

    Dive Gear Express has a sale on the discontinued DR Duo. It is a two gas computer that I have used for 3 years.

    Are you getting into Tec Diving or our you staying Recreational?

    If Tec - Save up & go with V-Planner with a Liquivision computer.
    Liquivision X1 kit - Buy at DIVESEEKERS.com 888-SCUBA-47

    If Rec - Then the VEO 3.0 is more liberal of a computer than the Suunto, Uwatec & DiveRite just to name a few and that will work better for you.

    I understand but what is lacking in your current computer that would be different with more compartments?
