Sporasub recently released their "new" computer - the Sporasub SP1. I am telling "new", because it is in fact the same computer as the Omer MIK1, and that again is a clone of other similar computer built by the Chinese company Latitude.
Omer MIK1 was/is an inexpensive computer (the catalogue price was 169€, now changed to 179€) but with some serious flows - especially the missing surface time display, and no dive depth alarm. The Sporasub clone has an improved firmware and offers both of these functions now - it does show the surface time, and it has a depth alarm. Unfortunately, these small (but important) fixes are rater expensive - the catalogue price of the SP1 is 259€, which makes it as expensive as the Aeiris F.10 or Uwatec Aladin 2G, and other computers. These computers offer much more functions for freedivers (especially the multitude of alarms), and in case of the Aladin 2G, it offers even the full scuba air and nitrox functionality, and even comes with IrDA PC interface, which means you won;t be billed another 100€ for the data cable as it is usual at practically all other manufacturers (except of Liquivision).
Well, I wrote more information about the new computer on the APNEA.cz - Blog and you can, of course, see the computer features, data, and links in the comparative review which now contains data on 39 computers suited for freediving (and I already know about the 40th which is in testing, and will be probably a really attractive alternative).
