First of all, let me announce my entry into the scuba world. I am now officially a diver (did 6 dives this weekend) and I am about 50%-60% geared Holgarthian. The backplate and wings were great. If I could ditch my weights then it would be perfect. I was down to 9lbs at the end of the weekend and that started feeling a bit heavy. Anyway, I am starting to look at a dive computer since table diving sucks quick. We were loosing about 10-13 minutes per dive due to the SSI tables, so a computer is at the top of the next purchase. What does everyone recommend for a nitrox ready (don't want to buy another computer later) wrist mount computer? I would like the PC download, but that is not a necessity. I am looking for something that is functional and relatively inexpensive since a costly computer may change my focus from a fun dive to worrying about the computer (damaging, breaking, futzing with buttons, etc.) They keys to me are: ease of use, cost, and the ability to handle deco stops. LeisurePro has Aeris Savant for under $325 and they also have the Oceanic XTC-100 for just a bit more, but I am open to others. Ease of use is important since some people were fighting to get their computers to work for each dive. Thanks for the input.
