Subject: Re: Bottom timer - any recomendations
JT, I stocked up on the old Beuchat and the metric Uwatec - both will
read deep. For most of my diving, I use the newer Uwatec since I do not
expect the depth to exceed 328. If you leave the old ones alone, they
usually live a long life.

Sooner or later somebody will make one that is not a computer. I will
never buy one that is a computer no matter what the price. I will guess
at the depth before I do that.
