    I like my Tec 2G, has a great depth gauge feature, if you want to roll that way.

    I don't like that it doesn't do Trimix :/

    Plus 1 - the Tec 2 G / Aladin 2G will take you all the way through Advanced Nitrox/ Deco Procedures and is very cave friendly. It also makes a great bottom timer for trimix dives when left in gauge mode.

    I have encountered a few divers who use it on fairly short run time dives using normoxic trimix mixes, where it gives ball park accurate deco information, but they are again using it more as a back up to tables, not as a primary deco resource.

    I really love my NiTek he, and they're selling used at some pretty low prices. I believe I saw someone asking $350 the other day.

    Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.

    If your predictive text replaces PERFECTION with OVERKILL, then yes! The Predator is overkill

    If you can afford it, get it.

    I agree, I love mine. I can read it full tilt on a scooter, without having to move my hand closer, or shine a light on it. I don't dive He much, but I can if I want.

    Predators are AWESOME.

    Land of Enchantment -- not so great for cave diving, but mighty scenic!

    Is there really any other Technical computer out there that comes close to the design and engineering of the Predator? I think not...but that's a rhetorical question. Considering the environment that we dive in, I'll take "overkill" any day of the week thank you very much. Plus you can't beat the fact that I can see and read Jackie's 5-10 ft away (when her wrist is in the right position). An outstanding Technical Diving buddy check feature!
