Nathan,
	I'm not very familiar with the Divemate and U.S. Divers Matrix 
computers, but the Aladin Sport is definitely superior.  I'm sure >90% of 
the members of tech and cavers will support the Aladin Sport and Aladin 
Pro.  These are bomb proof dive computers which have had many years of 
use and abuse by the best divers around the world.  Look in any tech or 
cave books and you're sure to see Aladin Pro's being used (when using air 
of course).  Cave divers swear by them, and they bet their lives on 
them. 
	 Anyway, if you're only interested in no-decompression diving the 
Aladin Sport is the way to go.  It has the same algorithm and display as the 
Aladin Pro minus a few features.  1) It doesn't beep when ascending too 
quickly (but still displays a "slow arrow")  2) If you do go into deco 
then it will tell you where to do your stop (ie 10 ft) but not how long. 
Everything else is the same.  9 logged dives, altidude dive adjustment, 
switches on in water (automaticly), no multiple screens to scan through 
while diving (Depth, no deco limits, max depth, ascent warning, deco stop)
	Well, if you are convinced you want a Aladin Sport, I'm willing 
to sell mine.  I do a lot of deco diving and need the Aladin Pro which 
will give me the total deco time.  My Sport is a couple of years old, but 
works great.  If you're interested let me know.  I'll sell it for $200.

		Safe diving,
