Hey Amanda,

Good to see you included the Perdix and the Eon Steel on Best DC list after so many wondered why they weren’t included in the first place. : )

With regard to Air Transmitters, DC reviews repeat each other in the question “what if the transmitter fails while you’re at 100 feet”.

I hear sometimes the DC can have initial trouble pairing with the transmitter, but this is generally easily and quickly fixed.

Has anyone had loss of signal ? Did you see this in your testing? I’m yet to come across someone who’s actually lost signal during a dive.

So why not list the metrics you used to give us an idea how you picked the the computers for your top 12 list? No mention of gradient factor changeability or which algorithm they run. Nothing on if they only have watch bands or can be converted to bungee systems or straps.
Help us to understand how you got to these decisions please…

In reply to Amanda Zeisset. I've been diving for about 25 years and have seen good products and poor products. Every now and then you come across a product that redefines an entire category and that is Shearwater as a whole company. They have redefined good customer service, intuitive design and have gone over the top with value for dollar. You can make the argument that they offer too much for a recreational diver though they have a recreational mode .... I will argue that you can spend much more and not have nearly the versatile platform. I own two of their early computers. Cheers.

Are there reviews of Wearable daily dive computers? or are they none that stand up reliability to the above list of dive computers?

As others have mentioned the lack of Shearwater, I’d point out you’re missing the Suunto Eon Steel. If it’s any use to you Both my wife and I have been diving ours for over a year and have approx 150 dives each on it using multiple transmitters. If you want an unbiased opinion of it from a long term point of view with all its pros and cons feel free to drop me a line

Hello,

why isn’t in Top 10 dive computer Oceanic OCi ? What is your opinion on this computer Oceanic eyes? I bought it, but I have not used jet. This is my first diving computer.

In reply to Mark.

Hi Mark,
We are still testing some new models (including the 2 you mention).
Nobody pays us to appear in this list. We are also waiting for more reviews of these models to come up so we can provide not just our opinion but also the opinion from others in the diving community.
By the way, I would love to hear your thoughts on those models you mention if you have experience with any of them.

Who curated this list of dive computers? What was that person thinking to omit the Shearwater Research Petrel2 or now the Perdix follow on? Is it that SR didn’t pay for a review?

You’re into shot shows a diver with the Suunto EON Steel yet it’s not included in the list. User ratings have been at or near 5 star. I’m abusive to my dive gear as it has to stand up to cave conditions. Was hoping to see the EON since I’m considering it for dual tank monitoring.
