Ocean

The most important part of a computer is its algorithm. You want a computer that runs a modern Buhlmann algorithm with custom gradient factors (GF) to adjust conservatism. Many computers these days still use outdated bubble models or worse (looking at you Suunto) secret proprietary models. I’m a tes

Garmin descent g2, more budget friendly than the fenix 8 or descent mk2/3 if you want in to the Garmin world. Suunto ocean, cheaper than the fenix and mk2/3 but more premium than the g2 as has colour screen etc. The above will give you amazing battery life, I have a mk3i and get about a month out of

Suunto Ocean is great. Very usable and great display. Superb battery life. I had an EON core previously. Also tried the Apple and oceanic which functionally was OK (but not good enough to stick with and deal with Apple Watch and oceanic overhead).

Get your gear serviced. Cylinders, regs, and BCD. Go have a look at computers. Computers have come a long way in the last few years. Not so long since the trend in my club was the Oceanic Geo 4 that bluetoothed to your phone to do all sorts. My new Suunto Ocean completely blows it out of the water.

I’ll play devil’s advocate! I’m a test diver for a scuba magazine, and have gotten to dive a lot of computers. The Suunto Ocean is a joy to dive; the i330r is…not. I’d definitely swap them if it were me. The price point and marketing for the i330r make it really appealing to new divers, but it’s not

I was weighing up these 2 before eventually deciding on the Suunto Ocean and the main reason was the screen size and ease of looking my dive com underwater. The size and AMOLED display of Suunto won me over. I feel like everything else is about comparing nitty gritty personal preference which is har

The transmitter screws into a port on your regulator’s first stage, same as the hose for your SPG does. While you can technically attach a transmitter to rental regs, I don’t recommend it. If you plan to dive with AI, you really need your own reg set. Many dive ops won’t want you to remove plugs fro

I've recently bought Ocean. I haven't gone diving with it yet, but the screen is beautiful and I really like the overall build quality of the computer. There's nothing else in this price range that offers the same set of features. Assuming that you're looking for a smartwatch-like computer. The most

Try a Suunto Ocean as an alternative. Very nice UI; air integration (don't know if you have a tank pod already); compact; very bright screen. And you keep the same Suunto app. I wanted something smaller but readable; wanted to get away from the chunky forearm computers.

Do you own your own regs and if so, do you plan to buy a transmitter? Not much use in splurging for the air integration if you don’t plan to use it. If you like the watch form of the Suunto Ocean, the Shearwater Tern (and Tern TX) is identical to the Peregrine but comes in wristwatch form and has a
