aqualung/mares

[oscar_2424]

i finally came with two options for my next reg set:
aqualung legend with a suunto cobra computer and a gyro octo
mares abyss with aeris ai with a proton octo.
i do most of my diving in south florida between 60 and 140 ft.
what would you choose,, thanks for any help

Aqualung Titan LX with a suunto cobra computer works for me.

I like the Aqualung regs better but the Aeris computers better than the Suunto.

what do you like more about the aeris computers?

Aqualung reg, cobra computer.

Aqualung makes regs, suunto makes computers.

I find both to have superior functionability.

just traded in one of my old Dacor regulators for a Mares Abyss using the Mares/dacor trade in program. I have owned a Aeris ai computer since June and love it.

Suunto computers tend to be pretty conservative. I don't own one but i dive with several people that do and they always end up with shorter dives and longer deco stops when we dive in Hawaii.

Yes, that's very true. Be advised that Suunto operates at half the normal ascent rate and will almost always tell you to slow down. Better safe than sorry, I like to think, but you may find your bottom time being shaved a bit.

I dive the almost the exact profiles and we ascend together and I've never had a problem with my Aeris. Plus, I think the display is better. The plus side to the Suunto is the interface to a PC and the software is better.
