On a recent trip to the Bahamas, I used a BUD for first time. On my first dive of the day (trip) my primary dive computer malfunctioned (battery was low). The dive was completed with confidence and safety using the backup. For the following dives, the primary computer was functional but nice to know I had a backup just in case of failure. Small and easy to use but limited in functions. Great as backup but not a primary dive computer.

The computer works as described. It lakes a light for night viewing, but its one glaring fault is it doesnt have a separate hard clear lens guard like all the other good computers do that is easily replaceable. Instead of the glorified peace tape that is their pathetic excuse for a lens guard. I hope they correct this mistake to show that products made in the in the USA. are second to none. Thank you.

This product just plain makes sense. My life depends on those calculations. Why not have back up information?

Questions and Answers for Oceanic B.U.D. (Back Up Device) Air / Nitrox Computer:
Tom:
Can this computer be programed for two NITROX gas mixes as well as air and be switchable on the fly underwater between any of the three?

Hello Tom, Thank you for your inquiry! The B.U.D. (Back Up Device) Air / Nitrox Dive Computer can only be programmed for 1 gas mixture at a time and it CANNOT be changed “on the fly”, meaning you cannot change the program while underwater. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-17/009339/Oceanic-B.U.D.-Back-Up-Device-Air---Nitrox-Dive-Computer.html Please note: No dive computer can be changed while under water.
