Oceanic Pro Plus 2 vs Aeris Atmos AI

[divegirlFL]

Well, as you can see by my title I'm debating between the Oceanic Pro Plus 2 and the Aeris Atmos AI. Any in use comments would be highly appreciated as I don't personally know anyone with either of these 2 computers yet. I currently have an air only Suunto which dates back awhile and am looking for a good Nitrox computer which is PC compatible and most likely air integrated (although this isn't required).

Thanks for your comments.

Plelagic makes them both, although I'm not clear on which is the parent company, etc. I've seen Oceanic and Aeris manuals that were word for word identical. In case this helps prevent confusion...

Is there something wrong with Suunto as a brand in your opinion? Why not consider a Vyper or Vytec if you want AI? The Pelagics are both more liberal computers than Suunto's for what thats worth. Love my Vyper. Don't care for AI since you need to wear a back up spg anyway. Considered all three before I bought mine. All personal preference.

Nothing wrong with my Suunto other than it isn't Nitrox. Just that Divers Direct doesn't sell Suunto any longer and that's who I do the most business with.

I just purchased a pro plus 2 and it rocks, but I belive the Atmos is almost the same thing just a little more compact. Hope you enjoy it. But if not luky for you Divers Direct does offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee,so try it soon.... Where in Fl. is your home town, I've never heard of it.

Do explain this.


I have probably 200 dives on an AI, have had very good luck with it. One of the things that I really like about it is how it displays the remaining time you have left on the dive. It tells you that you have X time left on your dive, it doesn't immediatly tell you that you still have X minutes worth of air left or X minutes of bottom time left.

The two brands are made by the same company - Pelagic , and the owners manuals may be word for word identical.

I dove with it last Saturday off Ponce & liked it so far. Doubting I'll get another dive in before the 30 day guarantee but I think I'd stick with it even if I did. Just have to learn all of its goodies.

Chuluota, that's where the Girl Scout camp is. I used to take my daughter there every summer.
