Cheap freediving computer?

[andymoreno]

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.

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

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

I'll look up the site when I get home and PM you, if I forget just shoot me a reminder.

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.

if you are also a scuba diver ,the suunto mosquito is a good bargain too.
