David,

i got a deal on a bottom timer some while back, cept it was in metric.

i use it on shallow dives for fun. i find no problem in switching
between imperial and metric for depth. you just multiply by 3.3

i dont think i would be as flexible with bar/psi, but i think it could
be done with some practice.

rgds,

Al Marvelli
