Replacement for dive computer

My old Oceanic XTC100 has finally given up the ghost, what would be it's
likely successor.

Your suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA
Jim

Another Oceanic.

Constructive and informative answers, you really must be great divers. Do
you sit on the right hand or left hand of
the almighty, maybe GI3 !!!

Neither actually. The fact is, a lot of UK divers use mixed gas, and/or do
dives that include gas switches and reasonably long decompression , even
when accelerated with a high PPO2 mix. There aren't a lot of computers on
the market that handle such dives well and there's a fair amount of evidence
that none of them handle it as well as careful, informed plans and close
adherence to them during the dive. Sarcasm aside, the advice is not bad . .
.. in context.

If, on the other hand, you're doing multi level no decompression dives, then
I'm with you. A computer's the way to go. It's just a matter of matching
your equipment to your diving. I don't like any of the Suunto models. The
algorithm for nitrox includes some wierd compensation for higher PPO2 levels
that I prefer to live without. I presently use nitrox capable Oceanic
computers. I like the algorithm and have had good luck with mine over
several years. That's why I suggested another Oceanic to you.

Gordon, Lee & Zak unqualified wankers. If I'd have wanted to hear from
arseholes I could have asked my buddies to fart in unison.

Thanks to others who might give me an answer which is representative of the
knowledgably and experienced users of this NG.

My suggestion that you consider another Oceanic was not sarcastic. They
happen to be the computers I use and, when the ones I currently have go
bottoms up, I'll seek my next one from the same source.

If this represents the quality of your contributions to this NG, perhaps you
should consider joining your buddies permanently. You will not be missed.
