My wife and I both have Oceanic AI units. Hers is a Datamax Pro Plus (hose), mine is a VT Pro (hoseless).

Here's what I like about are units:
--BIG numbers, easy to read underwater (esp. since I wear reading glasses).
--Very simple screens, with limited data. Easy to scroll through other info. if you want.
--I LIKE the bar graph NDL info. I find this much easier to interpret for "decompression" state (how close am I), and allows me to quickly adjust my dive profile..
--Units tend to be durable, and you can change the batteries yourself.
--The factory has always been very good in supporting us.

BTW, Oceanic, Aeris, and Sherwood are all made by Pelagic, so they're essentially the same units...

Even though as jrd159 points out, they are basically the same, there is a huge difference in how the different companies stand behind them. We get the fastest service with Aeris if there is ever a problem. And their download software is included with the units - you just buy the cable - which lowers the cost of the download kit by $50 over sherwood.

But any of them will give you the same info.
