WLTB: Mares Apneist (or sporasub raptor)

Does anybody still have one or knows where to get a old school freediving computer, the mares apneist ( or the sporasub raptor, should be the same hardware) ? Since everybody has a d3 or f1, i guess they aren't much in use anymore, and i would really love to have one to play with....:inlove

Thanks,
Yaffle

Wow, that's been a while! The mares Apneist was my first freediving computer, when I bought it in 97 if I remember correctly. In 2001 the electronics quit and I bought a mosquito. But I still have that thing somewhere lying around.

I bought my Apneist when they first came out, and still use it today. Works fine, although it has a voracious appetite for batteries. I like the LARGE CHARACTERS on the display - it's the LARGE TYPE display for the elderly. The computer's overall large size is also helpful - makes it harder to misplace on the boat or to leave home. You KNOW when that bad boy's not in your kit bag.

I wonder how much they sold for new, back in the day. I have no recollection at all.

If he dives much, he'll probably spend more than $76 on AAA batteries over the first year he uses it! Mine finishes a Duracell in 2-3 hours.
