Choosing and Using Dive Computters is the DVD for anyone who’s interested in purchasing a dive computer, or wants a better understanding of how to use the dive computer they already own. This entertaining and exciting video explains the features of dive computers and how they work, with different models of computers shown under actual field conditions. The program takes you from the clear waters of the Caribbean to the cold waters off the coast of California, and inside the Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber where dive computers are tested.

Choosing and Using Dive Computers starts with the premise that there is no single “best” dive computer for all divers, but there are probably at least one or two dive computers that will best suit your individual needs and the way that you dive.

The program includes the following segments:

• Features of dive computers
• Selecting the dive computer that is best for you
• Using your dive computer
• An introduction to nitrox diving with dive computers
• Emergencies with dive computers• Maintaining Your Dive Computer
• Downloading the data from your dive computer
• Bonus Featurette – Behind the Scenes/Making of Choosing and Using Dive Computers
• Trailers for other Hammerhead Video features• Information on the Catalina Chamber

Choosing and Using Dive Computers was produced not just to help divers select a dive computer this year, but in the future, too. No specific models or brands of dive computers are endorsed, but the best features of each model appear in the program.

The program was directed and shot by Steve Barsky of Hammerhead Video and produced by Kristine Barsky. It includes dive computers from Oceanic, AquaLung/Suunto, Cochran Consulting, DiveRite, and Scubapro/Uwatec.

The video is an all region DVD that was shot in standard definition, full screen format. It will also play in most personal computers equipped with a DVD player.

From the preview it looks well worth the money if your just getting into diving and needing to know about computers.
I had a bit of a look at the new Uwatec Galileo(sp) at Oztek and it looked very intresting. Well worth a look if you get the chance. It was very expensive but had a lot of feature to match. Still not constant PO2 but thats in the pipes.
