Hi All,
I am looking at the possibility of getting a new dive computer. Presently I dive a Suunto Cobra (original) that has decided that cold water diving isn't for it.
I have a lot of buddies that dive the Viper Air and I was wondering hat anyone's thoughts are on the Vyper Air. I am also curious to know in general how far the technology for wireless tank transmitters have come.
Is each transmitter and computer uniquely paired now or is it still a channel change to get the right transmitter?
How easy is it to figure out if you've got the right transmitter on your display?
Is it possible for the computer to jump transmitters during a dive? (If yes can it be easily resolved during a dive?)
Is the 45 degree tilt on the compass tolerable or can it become a bit of a pain?
That all being said how have people found their Suunto's in cold water diving? Suunto computers seem to have a min operational temp of 0 degrees and i seem to have jumped into water and seen 32 degress on my temp gauge.... No my computer didn't work.
I am kinda curious what recreational Nitrox divers are using for computers and I am also curious to find out if any one has take the Galileo Luna for a spin and any thoughts on that.
Presently I am looking at Vyper Air, Cobra 3 and Galileo Luna. Any thoughts and comment would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!
