Island Hoppa:why buy a fancy citizen dive watch for $200+ when for just about the same price or a couple extra dollars buy a suunto mosquito that will do much, much more. just a suggestion.
Here's one reason to buy a WATCH, rather than a computer:
We dive in the Pacific Northwest, and the best dives are where there is the most current. These dives can only be done at slack tide. We need to know the actual time of day, both when we are gearing up, as well as under water, so we can gauge when the tide will turn, etc. We both have Suunto dive computers, (air integrated and nitrox) about $2000 worth of computers, and they both stop displaying time of day as soon as they get wet. So... we need a plain old fashioned watch!
