According to a SB sales rep:

-Scubapro is bringing back the 660' Uwatech bottom timer.
-Apollo is filing the Japanese version of bankruptcy. What this means for
the apollo/dacor scooter is unknown.
-They are working on a large-pocket jetfin.
-The Oceanic patent on the Farallon spring strap is soon expiring.
-The reason they don't make a simple bottom timer with integrated profile
recorder is that it that what they would have to do is purchase a OEM dive
computer and disable the deco portion, which means it would be no less
expensive than one with deco.

If they made a brand new chip which does not have the deco portion it would
wind up costing more than a deco computer. So if you want a bottom timer
which records your profile, you have to purchase a deco computer which
allows you to switch it into "gauge mode". A Nitek will do this.
