Suunto Mosquito Wrist Dive Computer |
|
I
have done more than a 100 dives in the last 3 years and most of them
with one kind of dive computer or another. A few weeks ago I stumbled
into a weeks diving in Sardinia's caves (that you have to try!) without
any gear on me as I was on the motorbike.
I borrowed a Suunto Mosquite
among other computers and was so impressed that I went out to buy
myself a Suunto Stinger which is the same functionality in a nice
metallic package.
I did decompression dives, nitrox dives, up to three
dives a day, and night and cave dives with it. The computer I have with
all my dive gear is a Uwatec Air-Z which is a great product, but it is
huge on your wrist. The Stinger I wear as a larger sports wristwatch.
I
can recommend the Suunto Mosquito and Stinger to a novice as well as
for an advanced diver as it is really easy to use. It simply guides you
through zero time, decompression and safety stops, as well as ascent
speed warnings. The green background lighting worked great during night
and cave dives. In difference to most other products, you can customize
the Suunto computers to your physique with parameters as sex, age and
weight. By the way, I can't wait to get back to Sardinia ...
