Hello,
I have just bought an Aeris Elite T3 for myself and one for my girlfriend who is just getting certified. I have been debating with myself about whether to get rid of my console and SPG or whether to keep the old setup as a backup in case of computer failure during a dive. I realize that one of the advantages of a hoseless air-integrated computer is less clutter but if you have a failure of either the computer or the transmitter it relegates you to aborting the dive. Whereas with a backup SPG and dive watch you could simply revert back to diving the tables and continue with the dive. I realize there is also the point that with a normal console you dont have a backup either.
What do you do? Have you ever had a computer or xmitter failure?
Thanks for the opinions
Brian
