Cheap freediving computer?

Hi,

I've got a hockey-puck computer for scubadiving and want to get something smaller and (relatively) cheap for freediving.

Obviously I'd love to get a Suunto D4 but don't really think I can defend such a purchase... So I was thinking of getting a second-hand D3...

Comments? Suggestions?

Many thanks for any advice.
/Andy

Re: Cheap freediving computer?

the D3 from what ive heard is the most popular freediving watch there is. Its got a nice 1sec sample rate unlike most scuba watches so it catches even that last 4ft of the dive

i have a cressi EDY because i only wanted to get 1 watch to serve both purposes and i love it.

I assume that the freediving features are pretty much the same between the two..

since you already have a scuba wrist computer, i would say get whichever of the two you can find cheaper :P

D3 is great and won't kill the bank account. There are some places online to get one under 250.

Hi Rinaldo,
If you don't mind, would you please post the link for a $250 D3? Mine just went the way of the dinosaurs.
