So after a 8 year break of diving am back in the water and find myself in need of updating my old Mares M2 dive computer. The M2 will become the back up in the pocket should it be needed. The Minister of Finance (Wife) has allowed me to purchase a new computer. But after so long out of the water its become a minefield for computers now.
I have just finished my PADI AOW and plan to carry on to Dive Master and whilst where I live is not great for Tech so that is not an immediate concern. But if the computer could do some more advanced Nitrox stuff and gas switching would be advantages to ensure the money spent goes a long way. I'm not overly keen on watch sized computers such as the Garmin Decent and prefer larger console sized computers as my eye sight isn't what it once was for sure, and fiddly buttons and gloves I haven't the patience for anymore.
I have been looking at the Aqualung I770r, Shear Water peregrine, Aqualung I330r, Mares Quad Air. I always come back towards the I770r as it is able to be AI, has the compass, is rechargeable, nice screen and seems easy enough to use.
Has anyone got experience with this computer? Have I missed a computer from my search? Not keen on spending more than 600 - 650 USD / EUROs.
