That brings up a good point, Strangelove. I'm not too sure about the servicing of such computers as cressi. You and I might not have the access that some others do, for warrenty purposes etc. I've decided to pick up a couple of the manta computers. And Strangelove's point factors into the decision. Divetank (near us) will provide 5 yrs service and/or replacement. The price is $70 US less than the retail price on the Aeris site. They will also ship new batteries (free) whenever we request. So, that's pretty much sealed it for us. We're looking for more than free-mode such as provided by the D3. Divetank also offers the mosquito for a comparable price to the manta. They'll likely be comparable. I'm sure overall, the technology becomes easier/cheaper to produce, allowing other companies to put out equally worthwhile products. Of course there is no intention of following through on that whole scuba and freedive within the same day - bit of hype. Will have to post again with some feedback in the next few weeks.

Strangelove, Anchorage would be a great place to visit/dive! Do you have any media from your adventures up there?? When we headed to BC, Anchorage was very much in our radar.
