    Aeris 2

    Greetings all--

    I'm looking at getting an Aeris 2 computer. Did a search in this forum and saw some people planning on getting one, but didn't see any posts by anyone who actually uses one. Any comments by users? It looks like a good display, good features, great price. Any "voice of experience" negatives?

    Thanks in advance---fg

    Been using them for years, and we use them for all our rentals... Don't feel you can beat it for large display, ease of use, user changable batteries, audible alarms, lots of things you can set - and great warranty... Oh, and did I mention, right now they're cheap??

    I met a friend who had the aeris 2 and he loved it. But I was interested in the Aeris Elite. However, I didn't know how the hose-less adaptor works. How is connected to the cylinder and then to the watch. I apologize for my ingnorance in advance.

    Radio transmitter screws into the 1st stage and transmits pressure reading to wrist unit.

    Great

    fg, my wife and I use the Atmos2 for recreational NDL diving. They have been very reliable, easy to read and understand. If you dive hard, it will need a new battery every 9-12 months. Also, the algorithm seems to yield more available bottom time than the Suunto family.

    The only complaints have been that the audible alarm is very faint, and the excess ascent rate alarm will activate at the drop of a hat.

    We'd buy them again.

    All the best, James

    More 2 cents worth

    I just got my new Atmos2 in and this weekend will be my first dive with it. I've played with it about all I can above water so far.

    It to me was the best choice when wanting a fair amount of features by still being a reasonable price.

    I'll see if it is as easy to use and read underwater with 3mm gloves on as I hope it will be!! (Will be in Lake Michigan)

    Thanks, fdog. If it works in Reno, it must be ok!
