Choosing a Dive Computer
Can people give their inputs in terms of recommendations for a dive computer and why? I know that this is subjective, but I enjoy hearing different people's varying opinions.

Why not preface this by telling all what type of diving you like to do, and if you need the computer to handle any future diving that is different from the type you do now.

Yes, would need to know what type of diving you do or intend to progress to.
But for your info . . . I am currently using a Suunto Vyper and am very happy with it. Nice display and layout of menus, gives lots of good info, backlight. One complaint with it is I find sometimes you really have to press the buttons down hard to get them to work.

I seen a few demo versions of the Galileo Sol from Scubapro/Umatec the other day before they went to truk for some testing. Big beefy comp that seems to do just about everything and OC nitrox diver could want. Had 4 sender units to monitor 3 of your own tanks and one of your buddies, heart rate monitor and plenty of bells and whistles in side it as well. There was no issues with them as far as i know and they werent treated like eggs while there. Plenty of scratches on them on return. They arent cheap but.

I am a new diver looking to purchase scuba equipment. Anticipate recreational diving in southern california. I do not currently own a computer. Just wanted to hear different people's input and the reasons why they purchased their particular computer.

In that case, for recreational, get one that has a large display and a nice graphical interface.
I think the hoseless computers are really nifty and Oceanic/Aeris makes some ncie hoseless, the but the guys here will have some other good advice too.
