Looks like this thread has changed from "What should I get?" - you already got yours - to "This is what I got." So, I got a Suunto Gekko. It`s from a brand I`m familiar with, it`s pretty simple, and it`s about as cheap as you can get. Haven`t done a night dive with it yet, so I wonder how I`ll like it then (no backlight). It was easy to learn, easy to use, and easy to read. I got a computer mainly because I heard it will increase your bottom time on a non-square-profile dive, compared to the tables, and that seems to be true. Now that I`ve used it I really like the ascent rate monitor and profile features. I don`t want to rely on it to the point that I lose my basic skills, but why not use the technology that`s available?
