All,
I've got my AOW certification and about 50 dives under my belt, but I am new to the world of purchasing dive equipment. I am looking for advice on my first dive computer. I'm thinking about the Mares Puck Pro Plus. I know there is much fancier and more expensive equipment, but, from what I've read, it seems like this one will get the job done and has all of the features I need. However, given my ignorance about dive computers, any advice would be appreciated. It seems like Mares is a popular and reputable brand. Is there any reason to consider a different brand? Other than more bells and whistles, are there reasons why I should consider a more expensive brand or model? Accuracy and reliability in terms of the basic calculations are the most important features for me, whereas paying more for additional features is not something I'm looking to do at this point. Thanks in advance!
