Hi all,
its me again....
just got a question about the suunto vyper. I am very interested in buying this computer, because it has a gauge mode and nitrox mode.
Currently I do not have EAN certificates and I am not going to learn nitrox diving in the next 2 years, but it would be nice if I had a nitrox compatible computer at the moment for future use.
At this moment i am diving with a Mares Tutor, which has no gauge mode or nitrox mode. I often do snorkle around the beach and I think it would be handy to have a bottom timer during snorkling?
So I am deciding to sell my tutor and buy the vyper because:
-it uses a RBGM model
-it has gauge mode
-it has nitrox mode
-it has backlight
-other great stuff
i think the vyper is a great computer BUT:
-on suunto.com I read that it is not possible to switch from gauge mode to air or nitrox mode, if gauge mode is used for more than 5 minutes.
does this mean, that I can not use this computer to snorkle around in the morning and than do a dive in the afternoon?
is there somekind of workaround? Even my tutor has the possibility to erase the residual nitrogen memory!
Can anyone advice me?
