Dive computers: Aeris f10, Drake, suunto D4f, smart apnea

[DaveAU7]

Although I would absolutely love to analyze and save my dive profiles on my computer (OR SMARTPHONE! 2018 people, come on!) shelling out more than 60 Euros for an infrared dongle is just ridiculous.

My one complaint for the Drake is that the software is an abomination of bad design. Not that many dive-related software products are in any way good. I am yet to try 3rd party software such as Subsurface Divelog, but it supposedly supports the Drake.

Thanks all for your replies, each and every one of you really helped!
I finally made my mind and went for the Cressi Drake Titanium black, I should receive it in a couple of weeks will update you guys later as soon as I put it into try

Does it has to be specially made for sea water diving?

Hi Ali Elkady,
can you please tell us how is the Drake doing so far?
Can you set up the alarms to any depth and hear them well wearing a 7mm hood?
Are the static and dynamic functions practical and usable?
Thank you

I’ve had a Suunto Mosquito for nearly 20yrs. It’s epic! Does everything I could ever need and is really easy to use. I’ll always stick with Suunto. I think the D6I Novo is the reimagined version.

Does Suunto D4F a fresh/salt water settings? When I studied the user manual, found nothing about it.

I have used mine in salt and freshwater and have not noticed any problems.

Fresh water is 3% less dense and the depth gauge does a pressure measurement. The computer assumes it's in oceanic salt water, so if you dive to 33m in fresh water, the gauge will only show 32m. The conversion is pretty easy to do in your head, but is not great if you wanna show your friends you've just dived to 100m and the computer shows 97.

I have the f10, and F10 has very big advantage eou can easely to change battery for himself.

The new D5 looks interesting. Rechargeable, fresh display and more goodies. Didn’t have time to take a deeper look yet.

FYI Self battery changing is possible on the Omer and the Cressi as well.
