How to Choose the Right Dive Computer

Do you want something that can be used for recreational and technical diving? what about freediving? or an integrated compass? These are all questions you need to ask yourself before investing in a dive computer
Why Do I Need a Dive Computer?
A dive computer takes depth and time information and applies it to a decompression model to track the dissolved nitrogen in your body during a dive. Your computer continuously tells you how much dive time you safely have remaining. Dive Computer allows you to maximize your time enjoying the marine life and record and share your underwater adventures.

How To Choose Your Dive Computer
- Ask yourself – What type of diving do I do now and plan to do in the future? and What dive computer works with my current equipment, or what complete equipment package includes the type of computer I want?
- Look at dive computers with features that match your dive style and equipment setup. Evaluate:
- Can you clearly read the data with your mask on
