Hi to everyone,
I'm thoroughly confused.......
I'm used to diving with a Suunto Stinger and have sold it to move to an air integrated system and I really like the ATOM. My LDS in Singapore told me the ATOM 2 will be here mid next year and that an upgrade program might be available. Hence I thought about getting an ATOM 1 and upgrading next year. I was told the transmitter will be the same.
I definitely like the ATOM, but have read many postings on Scubaboard about how it deals poorly with DECO dives and repeat DECO dives and that it's DECO model does not account for off-gasing as you ascent and hence issues DECO stops that do not clear if you ascend slowly like they do on the Suunto (multilevel dive).
Most of my diving is live-a-board 6-20 dives per trip over 3-7 day periods so I want to be sure that the ATOM can deal with repeat dives and DECO.
Please help restore by confidence to buy and ATOM.
Thanks,
