Bottom timer

[OFG-1]

Nah, not enough sunlight down there, I only use that one on the surface

You must have lost the instructions for use in a cave. You have to orient yourself with the dial facing north. Then, you approximate the angle of the sun at your given latitude, and the angle of the sun at noon on the solstice, just shine your light on the dial from this position, and viola, you have a well illuminated forearm.

I use two computers in caves as well--one on each arm. The choice of the two was more about where I was with my experience when I purchased them. The first is a Suunto EON Steel and the other is a Perdix. I've set the Perdix (40/85) to be pretty close to the EON Steel (middle conservatism) and they definately use different algorithms. So, I just use the most conservative one, which has worked out well so far without feeling too much penalty by waiting to clear both, but I don't generally go into much deco.

Even though I love both computers I use, if I were looking for a new one now, I'd seriously consider the ScubaPro G2.

BTW, Have fun on the Avalon, Richard!

Use a Citizen ecodrive promaster to backup my shearwater perdix.

No, I didn't loose them. Stone tablets are just too heavy to take diving...

I'm amazed to hear that an Uwatec died. I've been using mine since 95 without a battery change. Has to be the best piece of dive gear I ever bought.

I felt the same way about mine. I got it used about 15 years ago, so I have no idea how old it was.

I still have one that works as well. No clue how old it is. On a separate note, I think it's cool how Forrest is helping out fellow divers so often. I got a reel off of him for less money than I could have ever imagined this week and really appreciate it. Just thought it was really cool to read of another instance... mine wasn't even public til now. He PMed me because he knew I was having problems with mine. Kudos, FW

That's what your buddy's light is for....

I thought that this was Forrest's bottom timer.

I have the older model of that.. without the fancy compass!

I have an older version of the Uwatec digital bottom timer (max depth, no average) on a bungee mount.

Unsure the age but just dove it for a week in Cozumel with no issues. Would sell it if anyone is looking.
