Digital Computers
Digital dive computers are used to measure the depth and time of each dive. It`s a great tool that can make sure you're ascent isn't at an excessive time. If you find a digital one it can show you the temperature of the water and keep track of the pressure in your tank.
A digital computer can continue to recalculate while you continue on your dive. Most computers will tell you your current depth, the maximum depth you achieved while on your dive. They will also keep track of your overall dive time.
Aeris makes a great dive computer. Also Oceanic makes quality digital computers for diving. Digital dive computers can cost up to $800.00. You find a quality used one on sale at EBay.
