The best diving gear Of 2007 - Aeris Elite T3

Aeris Elite T3

Aeris Elite T3

The Elite T3 (and the similar Oceanic VT3) is one of the most feature-rich computers we tested in 2007. It's capable of reading up to three transmitters and tracking three different nitrox mixes per dive. It also has the unique Buddy Pressure Check feature, which allows you to keep tabs on another diver's gas supply. The screen is easy to read and three push buttons offer easy setup and navigation through all settings and menus. While the T3 and VT3 offer all the same functions, their displays (particularly when it comes to bar graphs for ascent rates, nitrogen loading and oxygen loading) are different. Both are easy to read, but the T3 holds a slight edge in our staff's opinion. $689.95 (computer only); $999.95 with transmitter. www.diveAERIS.com.
