Does everyone really need an SPG? (w/transmitter)

[Ontwreckdiver]

Suunto seemed to be mentioned a lot.

I have been diving a Suunto Cobra for over 20 years and it has never failed me once. I don't use a spg as a back up. I would never do that with a Shearwater with all the issues they have been having.

Hasn't got a transmitter has it?

The Teric has had battery issues. My original Perdix is almost 3 years old. No issues at all. No transmitter issues.

Has Shearwater had a class action lawsuit against it? Nope. Suunto, on the other hand...

Suunto is the WORST dive computer mfg. company I know. I have had 3 Cobras go down due to the faulty sensors with Suunto wanting to make me pay for replacements. I have had other Suunto computer models go down also with same problem and same attitude by Suunto. They are BAD!!! I will never recommend them or buy them again!!! I am very happy with Scubapro and Ratio computers. I'll be updating my dive school's dive computers and will replace all of the remaining Suunto computer by Scubapro's.

What is worse than the reliability of Suunto dive computers is their most arrogant and terrible customer service and attitude.

Lol I was waiting for someone to comment on that.

That's what I had assumed. I've never had a computer that showed anything other than the serial number under that tab.

I have a suunto eon core and shearwater perdix AI. Sorry, it doesn't work for your specific DC/AI. I tend to keep tabs on the voltage for my eon core transmitter each week.
