I bought a new dive computer last year because my Galileo Luna 1 could no longer be updated via my PC due to its infrared interface. I chose the I770r with a transmitter from Aqualung (special price including transmitter approx. 850€). The readability of the display is great, coupling with iPhone and PC via Bluetooth is very good. Connection with transmitter works perfectly. I swapped the wristband for two rubber straps (much easier to use). Only the plug for charging the battery sometimes has no contact and the cover glass reflects the light from the surface underwater in a range of up to 10 meters. Otherwise, I am very satisfied.

Thanks for such a concise and informative video. Quick question for anyone with recommendations. I'm relatively new to scuba diving (10 months / 40+ dives) and I've been using the Suunto D5 that I got second-hand from a friend. On our latest trip the Suunto D5 locked me out for 48 hours because the battery went 'critical' mid-dive and now I no longer feel safe using the D5 and currently looking to get a new one. I see that the Garmin G1 is on this list but I'm also keen on the Garmin MK2S and the Shearwater Peregrine. I'm looking for anything that displays regular dive information and logs/sync each dive into an app in my iPhone - don't think I really need anything fancier than this. My budget is approx 500usd. Please note that I already wear an Apple Watch on a day-to-day basis so I'm only looking specifically for scuba diving purposes. Please advise!

From those brands we can look at the following computers: Sirius, Smart (air), D4i, D5, Tern (tx) and the Teric. The best computer from those three brands is the Shearwater Teric. It has full technical diving features and everything that any scuba diver will ever need. The Tern and Tern Tx is a cheaper, less technical alternative. I've always been a fan of Suunto's D-range of computers. The D5 is a nice computer but, I'm not a huge fan of it's battery life as a day to day watch. The D4i Novo or the D6i Novo I would prefer.

Maybe the Perdix 3 will feature an AMOLED screen one day.

I have an iPhone and an Apple Watch, but my issue with the Apple ultra is the fact that the full dive computer functions are only available by subscription. This is the thin end of the wedge and I hope they’re not starting a trend. The other problem is that they only work within recreational diving parameters, and if you exceed those it can lock out. This is a big no-no, as regardless how you dive, or if you inadvertently exceeded the parameters, you still need to return to the surface safely. If you need to watch buy a watch if you need a dive computer, buy one and from a company that specializes in them.

I've also heard good things about the Deep6 Fins but, I've never used them myself. Apeks are also releasing an RK4 fin this year to add an extra consideration for you. Whichever you choose, they're both great fins that will last forever. One of the big features that the Deep6 Fins have is that you can adjust the length of the spring heels. The RK3 Spring Heels are fixed unless you replace them with a different length. It's never been an issue for me but, other divers have found them a little tight.

H-harness is better if you need more room around the shoulder to get kitted up and you're diving heavier cylinders. But they're loose and require a chest strap to hold them in place.

@ScubaDiverMagazine7 ай бұрын
The Perdix is more widely adopted by the Tech Diving community because it leans heavily towards scuba diving and tech diving features. It will last many dive seasons because you replace the battery, usually the first thing that wears out. The Descent would be better if you want a multi-sport computer that does a lot more than just scuba diving. It will handle tech diving just fine and the battery is surprisingly good for its size. If you are in the market for a smartwatch anyway, I'd recommend the Descent. For the best scuba diving computer, I'd recommend the Perdix. It's completely scuba-diving-focused and it will last a lot longer

@bloodymarvelous47907 ай бұрын
The choices for regulators are vastly bigger than those for dive computers. Narrowing it down to 10 is going to be tough, especially if you want to cover various price ranges. Though there are plenty of videos out there that do a Top 10 regulators, there are always notable omissions. Almost every manufacturer produces budget regulators, travel regulators, and high-end regulators. If you're doing the occasional recreational dive, a budget regulator may be enough for you. If you travel a lot, you may want a lightweight regulator. If you're diving down to 30 or 40 meters (100 to 130 ft) or in water temperatures below 10°C, you'll want a high performing regulator. If you dive doubles or sidemount, you'll need an additional 1st stage. Try to figure out for yourself what type of regulator you want, and what you're willing to spend on it. Consider the service interval. Remember that servicing a first stage with two second stages will cost somewhere between $120 and $200. If your regulator has a service interval of 2 years instead of every year, that's another $120 to $200 you may be able to add to your regulator budget. And remember that the 1st stage is the workhorse of your regulator set. 2nd stages generally speaking don't add much to the performance of the regulator set. Almost all 2nd stages have Venturi levers and cracking resistance adjustment. You can pick whatever design appeals to you the most. I would stick with the major brands like Scubapro, Aqualung, Apeks, Mares, or Atomic, but check what brands your local dive store can service before you buy anything. It's no fun having to ship your regulator set to a service center.

It has no solution but replace the computer for a new one. That’s why I prefer to stick with dedicated dive computers and brands. Hopefully Garmin will have fixed this on the MK3.

Apakah itu berlaku untuk semua mk2 ? Atau cuma di unit itu saja?

Well, I cannot confirm is a bug that affects all MK2, but when it happened I did a quick google search and found several cases, same issue. Also, at Garmin shop they told me they have known other cases, same issue. Hope this helps.@@amillako9886

There are recreational divers, and divers… For divers, go for shearwater.

apple shouldn't be in that list... not a dive computer anymore the moment you hit 40m.

If you're qualified to dive beyond 40m you'll be buying a different range of computers anyway. The Apple Watch Ultra isn't made for that type of diver and it will still get you back to the surface if you stray too deep.

@@ScubaDiverMagazine so there is no way for any AOWD to go beyond the 40m according to you just because he is not qualified? last time i checked there was no visible line denoting the 40m...and everything happens when diving. one might not get below 40, but what if your hand goes, the simplest of examples. it is not serious to use that type of reasoning for something you rely on underwater and is the same type of reasoning apple is using. simply put you are doing them a favor advertising a product that is dangerous if used a millimeter below 40m as it blocks your dive computer for the rest of the dive!

@@SvetoslavBonev Take the Deep Diving specialty course, then you'll know why. Also, the AWU will continue to track down to 44 meters, it just won't display anything but a red warning that you need to ascend. Even if you were to dive to 40 meters (which is a dumb thing to do on air or nitrox), unless you have an arm that's over 4 meters long, you won't exceed the depth sensor's limitations.

@bloodymarvelous4790 what makes you think i didn't? and PADI is the worst agency for such specialties...And believe me, i like to take photos hanging down with the camera below me. And i have seen a lot of below 40 accidentally strayed divers. The question is what would they do if they were with apple watch? and red warning helps nobody with, lets say couple of minutes to deco. How do you manage safely surfacing if you are recreational with no backup computer and stray beyond 40 on the off chance you got distracted or had to help somebody and having couple of minutes to deco???? So your arguments are plain stupid when it comes to reality, unless you work for apple 😉

@@SvetoslavBonev I think you're misunderstanding how the AWU works. The display turns red below 40 meters, showing no other data, but the watch will continue to track your depth and data down to 44 meters. As soon as you ascend back above 40 meters, the display will show all relevant information again, and guide you through your deco obligations. What makes me think you didn't take the Deep diving course? Well, the fact that the recreational dive limit is 30m. 44m is 5 stories lower. You don't accidentally drop another 14 meters. You're massively negligent if you go that far below the maximum depth. Also, the gas density is well below the limit of 5.2 g/l, and even below the absolute limit of 6.2 g/l presenting serious WOB issues and highly increased risk of hypercapnia. Not to mention the narcosis you'll experience at that depth. Your arguments are the ones that make no sense in a practical situation. The AWU is a recreational dive computer, and a 14m or roughly 50% depth buffer is more than enough. There are plenty of other issues with the AWU as a dive computer, but the depth limit isn't one of them.
