A Computer at your current state of diving is a nice have, not a necessity. The one you have has a couple of good features: it works and it’s paid for.
You can easily finish the season with what you have. I would wait on investing in better. A thousand dollars will get you a really nice computer, but it would also cover AOW or a few dive charters. Gear can end up a bottomless pit into which you cast your dollars. A year from now you will know a lot better what you want to spend your money on and what you need to spend money on. Also, you may stumble onto a Craig’s List deal of the century.
Having all your own gear is one thing, having it set up the way you want it is a horse of another color. You can spend a good bit of money to make that happen, once you know what you want.
