Proper dive watches (computers)

Sunto Vytec and Mares Tutor


So much talk of "Divers Watches" I wondered what others might have some "real ones" to share.

I'll get a pic done tomorrow of the Shearwaters, VR3s etc..

That looks like a Sinn on your wrist Andy?

Not my pics unfortunately, but it's a UX on the console.

Interesting piece of kit?

Watch & compass. Tell us more?
I assume it for taking accuarate transits?

You can see some pics from my diving here

Not the greatest, but I'm proud of them

Just a bog-standard Vyper here. And I'm pretty sure the OP was on about "watches" actually worn diving, not pointless watchmaker cock-waving.

Exactly, I generally dive with my Tag (just visible in original pic) as in the 1st post picture, worn it every day for at least 12 years or more, never failed me yet.

The Vytec is a great all round air/nitrox computer, and I have the air integration, which makes it even nicer. The Mares Tutor was my first dive computer, and now my wifes, for air only diving it is hard to beat, it has such as large easy to read display.

Both can be linked to a pc later for dive profile graphs and analysis if you want.

Yes I've seen similar type navigation boards, but I have not done any military service.

Often I understand the military were using 100% O2 at relatively low depths, but of course they can go over PPO2 levels above 2.2 or more where we mortals rarely exceed 1.6. This gives them a lot more flexibility in the planning.

All very interesting. I'll post up some more pics later.

Here's some from the Maldives

These were taken with a very cheap Fuji F30 and housing, plus a strobe. Of course now we are in the age of the cheap 10+Mega pixel cameras, image quality will be a lot better in the future.
I'm no Jack Custard that's for sure.

Love the photos.

Did you see any giant catfish when diving? Didn't see any in the slideshow, even though there were some cool fish there

Err no, not seen any giant catfish, I've seen a few decent sized sharks, one a bit too close up.
