Hi Gab,

I was considering the Ratio iDive but found it to be overly expensive. In the end I ordered a Mares Smart Apnea, just got it a couple of days ago. Still reading the manual, so far at least got the time and day right. Have yet to test it in water. The display seems nice and easy to read.

Yeah, idive looks like Ferrari. Vibration is a nice thing to have I agree. I was looking into the smart apnea. The price is right. Under $200. But on the site it claims

> Expanded memory capacity stores up to 9 dive sessions

I hope 9 sessions means 9 days of freediving not the number of dives it can record, right?

And the usb cable does come with the watch?
 
So folks... any comments on Cressi`s Drake VS F10 v3 / F11 VS D4i (novo)? Urgent replies needed... for yesterday :D

Right now, even trying to dig on the watches manuals i`m feeling a bit lost...

Thanx... :)

Hi !
I've got Drake from scubastore , and its Perfect ! It's more than fair to say that i dont need (now) that many functions . Very light , You can change batery whithout service , very big screen , remember to order this bump thing to screen ( mineral glass is easy to scratch) if You snorkel or spearfishin from time to time . Only thing , thats not good is volume of alarm , if you diving whithout hood its ok , but 5mm of hood and you hear nothing ... But 99% of freediver comp. Is the same only suunto d4i have a loud alarm .
