We live in a Golden Age of dive-computer technology. Over the past two decades, these machines have evolved into powerful data centers capable of monitoring virtually all aspects of our diving. We collected 11 new and redesigned models, and tested them in our ScubaLab shop and at Blue Grotto in Williston, Florida. The results of these data-collecting exercises form the basis of the following reviews.
Check out these five new fins, regs, computers and more for your next technical dive.
Built with a military-spec aluminum casing and an eye-pleasing OLED display, the NiTek wrist-mount computer comes standard as a seven-gas trimix computer (8 percent to 99 percent O2, 0 percent to 92percent He). It uses the Buhlman ZLH 16 algorithm and offers three preset gradient factors: 30/75 (default) and 40/100 for deep or shallow spots, plus 75/95 for divers trained in custom gradients. Depth rated to 492 feet, the NiTek Q offers many options, like adding a digital compass or a CCR mode with fixed PO 2 set points. It is powered by a lithium rechargeable battery.
