User changeable Dual Algorithm - Pelagic DSAT (Spencer/Powell data basis) or Pelagic Z+ (Buhlmann ZHL-16C data basis) - Gives the diver the ability to select a conservative or liberal algorithm to fit their diving needs
Rating: Excellent Dive Computer
Reviewer: Christian W.,
After my first 6 dives with this new computer, it lived up to my desires and expectations. Although you have to dedicated some time initially to understand to one button navigation, its well worth it once you start using it. Also easy to switch back and forth from air to Nitrox. Overall, I give it an excellent rating
