Bottom Timer which one?

Seems strange that tec divers will squabble about a $150 differential in a piece of gear. For divers over 45 years old, this new BT is very interesting...

It says that it includes the free pc interface too. If you consider that, not bad at all since most pc download kits cost roughly $100 or more sometimes.

If I was in the market for one, a 150 dollar difference may be less consequential. But upgrading something I already have which works sufficiently, every extra dollar makes it less of a reasonable purchase.

Nevermind that I think I paid between $100 and $200 for all my bottom timers (mostly used).

I certainly don't balk at spending money on diving, but I think prioritizing limited funds is probably a good approach. $500 buys some nice training or experience dives (or more essential gear).

Same here, I got a uwatec bottom timer for $100. They are easily found for about that much.
$100 vs. $500 is significant. That's another deco reg setup, or a bunch or boat dives.

Or most of a Fundamentals class...

Too true, Rainer. Too true. ;-).

Damn you mainlanders with your nearby GUE Instructors. The Liquivision Xen is only about half of my Fundies class.

Peace,

You are comparing a used and less functional piece of equipment. An apples and oranges argument.

It's a bottom timer, what exactly do you think it's function is?
