See, now to me using the NiTek does not imply deep air dives. It has a
rather nice programmable gauge mode that I use while mix diving. My
NemIIa is either a backup to the NiTek or, as of late, a dust collector
on the shelf.
As I said earlier, when it works, the NemIIa is a great unit. It's just
the reliability of it all that sucks. I was even a bit shocked when I
tried to follow procedure for Cochran's "Upgrade Plan" (I wanted to
trade the Nem in for a Commander) and they didn't even want the darn
thing back. The best they could do was offer me a Commander at what
looked like a keyman price.
I think they're too interested in getting their piece of garbage
rebreather off the ground than supporting their computers!
