It's interesting to see how things are going in the US. I live in Brazil and just started diving. I got a feeling that the diving hobby here is groing really fast. I live about 300 miles from the ocean and my city has at least 4 dive shops (that makes money mostly from courses and dive trips)...
I had the same problem. Bought something on the 20th and they shipped it only yesterday. The ETA is one day before my brother leaves the US, if they delayed it one more day I would have wait about a year to get my stuff...
If money isn't a problem I couldn't agree with you more. But if it isn't, I don't see the point of spending almost the same as the whole rig in a computer since a cheap one would suit all your needs for a long time.
Of curse that's just my opinion, I'm a beginner diver too and would love to buy...

Backup: Big Blue AL250 ( 70 dollars)
These prices are converted from the Brazilian Currency, but I can buy stuff...
I think what he means it that lithium batteries lose their capacity over the years. I also don't like this lithium battery thing, after 5 years what would happen? My phones never last more then 3 years and the batteries are aways the first problem.
I've read some posts about the Deep6. Is there any chances it will be out until the first week of March?
I also got a deal only showing only in my computer for the Mares Quad for 250 dollars on leisure pro. Looks like the best choice so far.
Hey guys. I need some help choosing a Dive Computer. I'm doing my checkout this weekend, so I know I should wait a while before buying a computer, but since my brother is in the USA and in Brazil a computer would cost more then double, I don't want to waste the opportunity, and worse case...
