ScubaLab reviews Suunto Wrist Computers

The wristwatch design of Cressi’s Edy II is striking, but this dive computer offers tons of functionality in addition to its sleek good looks. The Edy II offers dive, gauge and free dive modes.

Before you explore your first wrecks, here are a few key pieces of scuba gear you might want to add to your kit.

IST’s Dolphin Tech GP4000 COMPASS+ has a built-in digital compass that works at angles that would be impossible for a conventional compass. It has a new dot-matrix screen that offers a better visual presentation of information including a live dive profile graph.

Versatility is the key to the Zen IQ 950 Zen Air, which can be used as an air/nitrox computer, depth gauge/timer for free diving, or as a watch for daily wear.

The Leonardo is a complete RGBM computer that offers all the functions recreational divers need in a sharp-looking package. It is the first computer completely manufactured by Cressi Electronic, a new division of the company introduced this year.

IST is a family owned and operated manufacturer with three separate equipment lines available to the diving community. We have been manufacturing quality watersports equipment for others as well as ourselves for over 35 years, so while you may not have seen our logo frequently, chances are you have enjoyed our gear somewhere before.
