This guy asked about a computer , not a depth gauge. You are right on the gauge mode in the suunto however.

The others have a ridiculous padded algorithm that is > useless for ANY dive. This is bullshit in this generalizition. Some are ridiculous , others aren't. Old aladins calculate well beyond 100m, only do not display the leading digit. All Aladins , like many others,have to be regarded with caution on multiple rec dives. I do not know of any computer which's algorythms have been tested to these multiple , no limit diving, nor extended range technical, or deep diving. But I have tested some, whith different algorithms , giving the same, nearly identical readings, even on multiple dives. For instance the Comex proven new Beuchat range. Unfortenately, these stop working at 65 m , so I cannot recommend it here. > Jetstream regs are bullshit as are any reg that uses a high IP, Jetstream works perfectly in IP settings from 7 bar to 14. Standard IP with 5000 first stage is 9.5 bar, with old cyklon 300 it is 11.5 bar. The IP is settable with a simple allan key and gauge.

Some use a separate one ( Draeger, POseidon 5000,Jetstream. Others rely on the second stage seat.

Sure it does. And the TX 100/TX 40 combo these days in Europe is a bargain, 'bout 600,-DM ! But a seat in any of the 5 poseidons I have is still waiting to fail. -Matthias > > > Anders Johnsson schrieb: > > > > > > Hello. > > > Planning to buy a new computer... > > > I´m thinking of buying Uwatec Aladin Ultra pro. > > > Which computer is the best, that one or Suunto Vyper?
