Dive Computers

[ghosch]

I have both a Cobra and a VR3. The Cobra is great, because it is simple. When my wife dives (which isn't very often), she uses the Cobra, and has no problem with it despite the lack of regular use.

The VR3 can do just about anything you would ever care to do, it has great flexibility. Personally I use it for both OC and SCCR diving. Unfuortunately with that flexibility comes some complexity. Though certianly not a great mental challenge, the VR3 takes longer to get used to than the other computers I have used. Also, in my opinion, the manual sucks.

Another advantage of the VR3 is that you can take about two pounds off your weight belt when using the VR3 (be careful or you'll list to the left)
