VR-2 Computer

The VR2 and VR3 are made by Delta P Technology in Poole, Dorset (south coast
of England).

They are the favourite computer for UK technical divers, especially the VR3
as it can be programmed for up to ten gas mixes, re-programmed whilst
underwater, and can be configured for use with, Air, Nitrox, TriMix and
HeliOx, and configured for open-circuit, semi and fully closed re-breathers.

It can also be directly connected to some models of rebreather by an
optional cable connection to an extra O2 cell, many AP Inspiration divers
have their VR3 connected directly.

Delta P say that the VR3 is the last dive computer you will ever need, as it
can be bought at a reasonable price with programming as a Nitrox unit and
then can be software upgraded to Tri-Mix and CCR at a later date.

They have also just release their colour screen model, AFAIK this is the
worlds first dive computer with a colour screen!

Lastly, because they expect divers who use this unit to be undertaking long
deco stops, it also has a few games on the unit to allay against boredom!

Looks like the main differences between the VR2 and VR3 are that the VR3 has
TriMix & HeliOx capability, the colour screen and the solid Aluminium body.

Have a look at www.vr3.co.uk

BTW, I have not got one of these but many of my fellow UK divers have. Maybe
next year, up until then I'm quite happy with my Suunto Vytec.

Has anyone had any experience with this dive computer which is made in the
UK? What is the price and who is a US dealer?
