Gauges and Computers

Uemis unveiled a computer so sophisticated that the Swiss company dubbed it a Scuba Diver Assistant. The low-profile unit wraps snuggly around the wrist and features a large scratch-resistant color OLED display with easy-to-read dive data, including the air pressure in your tank as well as your buddy's safety relevant data providing your mate also uses a uemis ZURICH. The wrist unit activates automatically in the water and takes temperature and breathing as well as depth into account as it projects remaining bottom time, time remaining before entering deco, and deco stops and times.

Atomic Aquatics' Cobalt air-integrated dive computer can program up to three gas mixes to 99 percent oxygen.

ALADIN 2G is a clear example of relentless development at SCUBAPRO. Engineered for technical divers who want specific features for total freedom in full safety, and for recreational divers who appreciate detailed, yet easily accessible information, but want the possibility to evolve in the sport. The ALADIN 2G combines a sophisticated algorithm with the compact size and accessibility of the Aladin family.

Price wins the day for Subgear's XP10, which provides notable performance for the same cost as a great pair of fins. Value is the knockout feature on the XP10, although it delivers plenty of functions: nitrox and gauge modes, full watch functions, ascent-rate monitor and more. The two-button control is efficient, although not quite as intuitive as other models. PrograM Middle-of-the-road MSRP $249 CONTACT subgear.com
