Depends where you dive, I see a lot of shearwaters in US and I don’t think they make more than one that cheap.
All this “trusting your life” stuff is pretty overblown for rec diving. You have a buddy who has a computer and probably a dive guide, you’re not going that deep, worst case scenario if it fails on a dive just swim a bit shallower than the guide (after signaling them) and sit out the next one. Or dive tables. You can ascend without a computer, and you can make an overkill safety stop (or just buddy up) without a computer.
- izacus 4y agoYeah, but most people don't use Shearwaters, they use cheaper Mares pucks or other such devices. Although, Apple Watch Ultra will be very competitive against devices like Garmin Descent or Suunto D5.
- Godel_unicode 4y agoYou must dive different places than I do, I never see pucks except as rentals. I was recently on a trip where people had to figure out whose tank sensor was whose because there were so many.
- izacus 4y agoI guess - I've been diving in Bali, Thailand, Mexico (Cosumel), Europe (Malta, Adriatic sea, Greece) and some other places. In general, divers there weren't a very wealthy bunch and didn't really run around with 800$+ tech gadgets (although some of us/them did have more expensive computers).
