How do dive computers HELP!?!
    Many of us already use dive computers, there is still a lot of you that do not, WHY I ask???  When divers purchase there own equipment they normally own a computer but for those that rent equipment don't normally rent or own computers.  I see many divers out there don't even have a timing device of any kind...hummm I am wondering how are they keeping track of there time, I KNOW they learned about this in their training the IMPORTANCE of this.    I am from the era of old time divers when there were no dive computers, now I would not dive without a computer.  There are so many benefits; keeps track of time, let's you know you are ascending to fast (very helpful), let's you know how much time you have left to dive, helps track vital information you will need to log your dives (you don't have to remember everything in your head before you log), lets you know your depth at that time & maximum depth, water temperature (some may not wish to know this...hahaha), it can be adjusted for Altitude Diving, some display pressure in a easier reading format with air supply time remaining, warnings when you get low on air, I could go on and on and on with all the benefits of owning or renting a computer, once you try it you won't go back to not using one. 
IMPORTANT:  Learn the computer that you will be using, for those renting computers from us I have included a link on our web site so you can down load the manual, it's one of the easiest to learn and use: http://www.aqualung.com/technical_library/Gekko_manual_en_2e271.pdf
