Subject: Dive computers
Some of the post of recent days seems that some are bound and
determined to use a dive computer vs dive software.  I have a dive
computer (Phoenix (air)) that I would like to sell.  It does exactely
what it says it will do, is air integrated so you get tank psi as well. 
However, will not do mix, will not teach you the ins and outs of deco,
will not make you a smarter diver, but will do what it is designed for.
	What I learned from it is I needed to be smarter about deco, but it
generally kept me out of trouble as I did routiene dives.  I got it
because it would not lockup even if you exceeded it parameters, and like
I said it kept me out of trouble.  It will not give you the shortest
deco time if that is your objective (which is not really the objective
of deco anyway).
	I will sell it for 1/2 of the orgional price, it is 2 years old and is
mechanically perfect, designed so you can change its battery (9 volt)
without opening the main case, I will throw in the lexan LCD cover, the
rubber boot which protects the whole thing and the compass attachment
and compass.
	If you have to have a computer this one will do a job for you and works
well, and for the price is a great buy.  I am moving on to the next step
in calculating deco from computer software and getting smarter.  Your
choice.
