Dive-Rite NiTek Plus computer

I have been diving this computer for the past week...I am very happy with
it. It has numbers large enough to read. It has the capability of
switching gas underwater - (2 gases). It has a very nice logbook mode
too.

It reads current ppO2, max depth & temperature -- and has a graphic
representation of N2 & O2 loading. Has various alarms and a GREAT dive
planning mode. It is the most user friendly dive plan mode of any
computer I have used thus far. The computer doubles as a wrist-watch also
& is nice looking.

The computer is shown on the Dive-Rite web site at:

One of my biggest complaints about the Dive-Rite Nitek was the way it
automatically re-sets the O2 percentage between dives to 100%. Does
this new Nitek+ do the same thing, or does it retain it's O2% setting
until changed by the user?

Thanks,

Alan

The one I now have leaves the O2 % alone between dives. It will default
back at midnight to 100% O2 for calculating O2 exposure & to 21% for
calculating N2 exposure as other computers I have used do.

I wish they'd just leave it alone like my Uwatech does...when I set the
Uwatech to 32% it never changes, until I change it.

When it defaults at midnight there is an icon on the display that flashes
to warn you that it has gone into default mode. So it would be tough to
dive it with incorrect settings unless you are just not paying attention.
