New computer question.

[Matt B]

Thought I wanted a wrist mount, now thinking console with a air gauge. The Giotto seems easy to work, is it liberal or conservative? I was looking at the Geo 2 and the Mares Smart for the wrist, do they make console models?
Thank you,

Hi @Matt B

See my reply to your Geo2 vs. Smart post. Cressi also runs a RGBM variant and may be a little more conservative than Mares. Oceanic makes 2 hosed AI consoles and the Veo2 is available in a console with SPG, compass if you want.

You still need to do your reading on decompression algorithms

Do you own your own regs?

Thanks, I just read 2 articles, one was by simply scuba and forgot where the other one came from. Just what I thought but really not that much depth of information.

Yes, I have a Atomic Z-3, and a Zeagle octo z

ah, OK. I wan't sure if you were planning on asking the shot to attach your own console to their regs every time you rent a set.

Gotcha, I have a Suunto computer that I think is around 20 years old. Original battery. Just keeps working, but it may die at any time.

To answer your earlier question: giotto is a 2-gas computer with deeper "algorithm limit" than cressi's basic model; leonardo. IMO that was never worth its MSRP and now "starter" DCs offer most/all of the same functions at half the price, so... However now you can find them on sale and if you do simple deco dives, it may be worth it.
