Shopper : How easy is it to change the battery and how long do the batteries last?DOUGLAS H : Battery very easy to change, however you do need the special little battery cover tool. Lasted about 60 divesJOSEPH A : i use a dive center to handle my equipment so i don't know how easy it is to change the battery. As far as life goes there is still plenty of life on the battery after about 20+ dives.NATHAN P : I am not sure how long the batteries last but know I'm almost 100 dives in and it's still going strong. I'm unsure about the battery change itself since I have not had to do it.G.A. M : Pop the oomputer out of the console, use a quarter to open the back, pop out/pop in, snuggly tighten the back and check/double check it is done smoothly and you're done and ready for a full season of diving. Shouldn't take over 5 minutes
Shopper : does this computer have a salt / fresh water setting?STEPHEN L : No, this computer does not have a separate setting for salt and fresh water.BRIAN S : I don't think so, I only dive salt water and it has worked flawlessly for me in that time. It was a very reasonably priced basic dive computer, I would rate it as a "buy" if you don't care about fancy bells and whistles but want a solid computer for recreational use.MICHAEL O : I haven't noticed one; not sure why you would need a fresh and salt water computer for dive tables?

A very nice upgrade for my needs!

The pro's explain this device well! It is not complicated and if you are a diver it will be self explanatory. I am not a Nitrox certified diver but otherwise very experienced diver. We haven't gone ice diving yet this season so cannot speak to that use. The swivel and the layout of the dials is perfect!

When price and performance matters

Compact - computer can be purchased as a wrist model. Easy one button with large displays. Dive profile warning beep could be louder - I have a slight hearing imparement. Bars and numbers are easily viewed. 5000 psi for newer higher pressure steel tanks.

Good Computer

The computer is a good computer a little complicated. my main complaint is other then waiting 2 hours after you turn it on or 24 hours after you have been diving there is no way to turn it off besides to pull out the battery.

Tulsa Improves Guage layout

What I had ordered was the older style but Leisure Pro apparently ran out and provided the newer which I much appreciate.

The TUSA Element dive computer features a deep stop function for additional safety. The deep stop mode is activated when a dive exceeds 80' (24 meters) for more than 1 second. Upon ascent past 50' (15 meters), the computer will display a deep safety stop screen and the recommended stop at 40' (12 meters) for a period of 2 minutes. This deep stop is highly recommended as additional opportunity to off-gas, but is not mandatory. If the diver chooses not to serve the stop it will not adversely affect the remaining no-decompression limits of the dive.

The Element Computer is a full feature dive instrument that is a single button puck-style computer. Computer is both air and nitrox (21-50%) compatible and has a manual or water-activated start-up feature. Computer is powered by a user replaceable CR2450 lithium battery and comes with a spare battery for convenience. TUSA Algorithm is based on Buhlmann ZHL-16c Pelagic Z+ model a modified Haldanean 12 compartment algorithm. Computer features include a maximum depth display of 330' (100 meters), imperial or metric units, temperature, 12/24-hour format, pre-dive plan mode from 30'-190' (9-57 meters), time to fly and de-saturation countdowns, 12 dive log memory function and more.

Computer console comes with TUSA's pressure gauge. This rugged easy to read pressure gauge has color coded pressure readout for added safety. The gauge measures pressure from 0 to 5,000 psi. The 0 to 500 psi section is colored in bright red to denote reserve air, the 1,000 to 5,000 psi section is color coded in blue. Pressure gauge is also equipped with a thermometer measuring temperature from 0° to 100° Fahrenheit. The both the computer and gauge are incased in an impact resistant boot with an eyelet for attachment of a lanyard or clip. HP hose is 7/16" threaded.

TUSA is the first company in the world to incorporate Lumi-Nova light storage dials, a groundbreaking innovation offering several times the brightness of conventional dials, as well as longer luminescence times. The entire face glows bright enough to make it ideal for night diving or diving in dark areas but contains no radioactive materials. Computer comes with a comprehensive owner's manual.

The back-mount compass is liquid filled for a smooth, fast reacting compass heading. Compass is equipped with both top and side scan reading for gun sight accuracy. The ratcheted rotating bezel has compass headings in 30° numbered increments and indicator marks for every 10°. Bezel has twin heading indicators for alignment of compass course, and a lubber line across the compass face.
