			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.scubamiami.com/scuba-diving-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/mares-nemo-excel-dive-computer.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-139" title="mares-nemo-excel-dive-computer" src="http://www.scubamiami.com/scuba-diving-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/mares-nemo-excel-dive-computer.jpg" alt="mares-nemo-excel-dive-computer" /></a>If you’re looking for a sleek, watch-style computer with all the great features of a good dive computer, the Mares Nemo Excel is a good choice. Perfect for recreational diving, the Excel is similar to the original Nemo with a few added features. It includes tougher components used for extreme durability, shaped strap to fit comfortably on your wrist and an upgraded display for increased digit readability.</p>
<p><strong>Here are the product specifications of the Mares Nemo Excel:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>4 Button (Easy Access)</li>
<li>4 Dive Modes: Air, Nitrox, Bottom time, and the special Freedive function</li>
<li>Intense backlighting on demand</li>
<li>Dual time setting</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/CategoryID_1985/Context_954/Sort_Stock/DescSort_0/Filter_1%3d1990/MRSNME.html?Hit=1&amp;kbid=1816" target="_blank">Click here for more information about the Mares Nemo Excel. </a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/CategoryID_1985/Context_954/Sort_Stock/DescSort_0/Filter_1%3d1990/MRSNME.html?Hit=1&amp;kbid=1816" target="_blank">Leisurepro.com </a>is offering a 14% price drop on the Nemo Excel. Its available at a sale price of $599.95.</p>
<p>According to scubadiving.com’s review, the Mares Nemo Excel has a clever ascent rate monitor, easy to read graphics, big control buttons and the Mares-Wienke RGBM algorithm was consistent on being one of the most conservative in regard to bottom time.</p>
<p>Here are what divers, professional and recreational alike, have to say about their dive experience using the Mares Nemo Excel:</p>
<p>This is a very nice computer package! I bought this as a backup to my Mares Nemo Wide. The options/functions, menu, setup are the same as the Nemo Wide just in a smaller package. If you liked the Nemo Wide but want a backup or a smaller package this is what to buy. – Chris of San Diego, CA</p>
<p>Got one these over the holidays from the LDS and made four dives with while on vacation in Puerto Rico. I compared it with my regular computer, Genesis React Pro. By the end of the second dive I found myself referring to the Nemo Excel exclusively. It is easy to read and tells you everything at a glance. I do not feel the RGBM algorithm was limiting in bottom time as compared to the Haldanian model in use by Genesis, when I had 4 minutes left at depth on Nemo, I was on my second caution diamond on the React Pro, I generally make it a point to avoid going into the caution area of the React Pro, so in my case everything comes down to ergonomics and ease of use when comparing the two. To both computers credit they were in prefect agreement at all times in terms of bottom time and depth. To top it off, you just can&#8217;t beat the ruggedness and looks of the Nemo Excel. – cdiver of High Point, NC</p>
<p>Have you used the Nemo Excel in your dive? We’d love to hear from you.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/SQTCB2CQ.html?kbid=1816" target="_blank">Suunto Cobra 2</a> is a state-of-the art air-integrated dive computer that combines cutting edge technology with a compact design feature. It includes a built-in electronic compass with tilt sensor and matrix display. Suunto Cobra 2 uses deep stop RGBM algorithm to track and predict absorption rates. This allows the diver to decide whether to make safety stops or deep stops depending on the dive situation.<br />
The Suunto Cobra 2 has undergone rigorous testing at Scubadiving.com’s Scuba Lab. The verdict: they liked the compact design and the digital compass feature. In fact, when asked if they would change anything, they replied, “Not a thing.”<br />
<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Let’s take a closer look at Suunto Cobra 2’s features.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Air integrated</li>
<li>3 modes: Air, Nitrox, Gauge</li>
<li>Matrix display</li>
<li>Digital compass with tilt-recognition ability</li>
<li>Automatic decompression calculations</li>
<li>Audible and visual alarms</li>
<li>Tracks remaining air pressure and air consumption rates</li>
<li>Provides digital dive profiling</li>
<li>42 hour logbook</li>
<li>5000 PSI (300 bar) compatible</li>
<li>Safety stop countdown timer</li>
<li>Backlight</li>
<li>User-replaceable battery</li>
<li>Maximum depth alarm</li>
<li>Automatic altitude adjustment</li>
<li>Metric or imperial display</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, the Cobra 2 allows you to log and store 42 hours of dive time and with a little adjustment, you can extend it up to 128 hours of logs. Cool, isn’t it?<br />
At Leisurepro.com, the Suunto Cobra 2 is available at a sale price of $549.95. Its original price was $950. That’s a huge 42% reduction!</p>
<p><strong>Here are some of the actual customer reviews of the Suunto Cobra 2:</strong><br />
“The Suunto Cobra II is a very compact, feature-laden diving computer which allows for as good deal of personal adjustment, including establishing more conservative diving profiles, the changing of gases for those who require it, as well as adjusting or eliminating audible alarms (which I absolutely loathe). The one feature most commonly criticized in the Cobra 2 is that of the digital compass, which will only display a given bearing when tilted 5˚ or less from level; but such complaints are spurious, and if you&#8217;re so terribly concerned about your underwater bearings, keeping a compass at level is already your best bet . “ – Loligo of San Francisco, CA<br />
“I enjoy this computer, one of the easier computers to use on the market. This computer collects a lot of dive data as well as calculates dive times very accurately. The only downfall that I find to the computer is the built in compass. It is a pain to switch the screen to get to the compass especially for the Northwest where viz is poor. I added a compass to make it easier to navigate and view my console information at the same time. The added compass isn&#8217;t that bad though.” Ryan of Portland, OR</p>
<p>Have you used the Suunto Cobra 2 in your dives? We’d love to your feedback.</p>

Depending on your diving style, the algorithm, product specs and the price tag are some of items that top any diver’s priority list. The <a href="http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/CategoryID_1985/Context_954/Sort_Stock/DescSort_0/AERAAIC.html?Hit=1&amp;kbid=1816" target="_blank">Aeris Atmos AI Air Integrated Computer Console</a>, one of scubadiving.com’s top picks in dive computers, is a streamlined-air integrated computer. This computer is perfect for divers who prefer compact-sized with large and easy to read digit display. It is available with or without a compass; with or without a quick disconnect. In fact, it is similar to the Atmos 2 but this version is like having more airtime remaining.<br />
<strong>Product Features of the Aeris Atmos AI Integrated Computer Console</strong><br />
Safety stop timer<br />
Air-time/no Deco-time remaining<br />
Nitrox compatible<br />
PC downloadable<br />
Water &amp; manual activation<br />
Audible &amp; flashing LED alarm<br />
User-replaceable batteries<br />
Easy-to-read graphics</p>
<p><strong>At Leisurepro.com, the Aeris Atmos AI Integrated Computer Console is available for $689.95. That’s a $30 savings from the original list price of $719.95.</strong></p>
<p>Now, what do divers, recreational and advanced alike, think of the Aeris Atmos AI Integrated Computer Console? Here are some product reviews gathered from divers who have used the Atmos AI in their dives.</p>
<p>“The computer works well and is easy to use. The instructions are very clear. The features are similar to other air integrated computers. The optional computer download cable is a bit spendy. LeisurePro had the absolute best price when I bought this computer. It came nicely assembled with the reg/octo/1st stage package I purchased. It is compact and stows very well. User replaceable batteries are easy to replace.”  &#8212; Tundra Bandit of Richland, WA</p>
<p>“I brought this item for my 11 year old son. He has no problems using it. For a recreational diver, this has all the features that you might want. I would strongly recommend an air integrated unit, and this has all the features that you need for a good price. It is functionally equivalent to the Sherwood Wisdom, except for a modified display. We&#8217;ve used it on 20+ salt and freshwater dives without a problem.” – Bob of San Antonio, TX</p>
<p>Do you have a similar story to tell about your diving experience using the Aeris Atmos AI Air Integrated Computer Console? We’d love to hear from you.<br />

Buoyancy Compensators specifically designed for women focus on specially designed features such as those that conform to a woman’s curves and power inflators that fit smaller hands. The <a href="http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/CategoryID_964/Context_954/Sort_Stock/DescSort_0/Filter_1%3d302/SWDL.html?Hit=1#ReviewHeader&amp;kbid=1816">Sherwood Scuba Luna BCD with CQR Weight Integration System</a> fits that description to a T. In scubadiving.com’s gear guide review, the Sherwood Luna was described as “heavenly”.<br />
<strong>Let’s have a glimpse of Sherwood Scuba Luna’s product features.</strong><br />
A 3-D designed air cell and elastic front closure that allow full inflation while eliminating &#8220;squeeze&#8221;<br />
Easy oral and power inflation<br />
Thick padding and a plush nylon interior<br />
Sherwood&#8217;s Halfpac combining the cushiness of a soft-pack BC with the stability of a hard-pack<br />

<p>Now, let’s look at some heavenly customer reviews of the Sherwood‘s Scuba Luna.</p>
<p>“Bought this BCD for my girlfriend. She loves it! Very comfortable, light weight, easy to use. Fits her perfect.” – NBDdiver of Kelowna, Canada</p>
<p>“This is my first women&#8217;s BCD, and my first with integrated weights. What a wonderful, comfortable experience! Having the right fit and several adjustment points (I&#8217;m not small-waisted, so I was afraid it wouldn&#8217;t fit) made all the difference &#8212; I had more freedom of movement and endurance for longer and deeper dives than previously. The only reason I didn&#8217;t check &#8220;durable&#8221; is because I haven&#8217;t owned it long enough to say for sure &#8212; but I expect a number of good years from it.” – jacketprof of Iowa</p>

<li>2 high pressure ports</li>
<li>4 low pressure ports</li>

<p>At <a href="http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/CategoryID_1159/Context_954/Sort_Stock/DescSort_0/GNSRG.html?Hit=1&amp;kbid=1816" target="_blank">Leisurepro.com</a>, the Genesis GS2000 Regulator GR450 is on sale for $234.94. That’s a huge 41% drop from its original price of $400.</p>
<p>How do divers find the Genesis GS2000 Regulator GR450? Let’s go over some of the divers’ actual experience.</p>
<p>“Compact. Had looked at less expensive regulators but, the brand name and features, sold me. Great product for the price. Once again, the pro&#8217;s at leisure did a fantastic job on putting together my gear.  Can&#8217;t wait for the weather to get better. Don&#8217;t have to look anywhere else. You guys are the best.”<br />
- Jose &#8220;Pepe&#8221; Martinez-Riera, recreational diver from Venice, FL  (leisurepro.com)</p>
<p>“It may not cost the most but it is great. No jaw fatigue, and it never free flows when not in use. So easy to adjust, would definitely recommend to everyone.” – Thomas S. (scuba.com)</p>
<p>“Genesis (owned by Sherwood) is not a particularly well-known company. It&#8217;s not one of the innovators (e.g., Aqualung, Apex, ScubaPro) either. But, they&#8217;ve made a great regulator in the GS 2000. I use the GS 2000 in the Puget Sound in a variety of cold-water conditions up to about 100 feet.       It has been a solid performer for me. It is environmentally sealed, an easy breather, and is a rock-solid performer at a sensible price. It takes abuse well and has the features I need to dive a fairly challenging environment. Maintenance is easy, parts are easy to get, and the regulator techs I&#8217;ve talked to all speak highly of the way it&#8217;s made.” – Crushdepth, an advanced diver from Olympia, WA (buzzillions.com)</p>
<p>The Genesis GS2000 is a great performer at an affordable price. Quality doesn’t have to be always expensive, right?</p>

The new regulators are getting lighter and lighter as compared with the previous releases. Manufacturers can be creative in the design and other features but the primary purpose and the single most important thing to consider in regs is its reliability in air delivery.<br />
One of the key features in today’s regs focus on lightweight material. The <strong><a href="http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/CategoryID_1159/Context_954/Sort_Stock/DescSort_0/CSBREB5.html?Hit=1&amp;kbid=1816" target="_blank">Cressi-Sub Ellipse Black MC5</a></strong> is one of those regs touting itself as extremely lightweight, weighing only 1 lb and 15 oz. It’s made of ultra-durable, high impact thermo polymer cover combined with the brand new MC5 balanced diaphragm first stage.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Cressi-Sub Ellipse Black MC5 Regulator Features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Hyper-balanced diaphragm first stage</li>
<li>Three pre-oriented low pressure outlets</li>
<li>One high pressure outlet</li>
<li>Sintered filter with larger surface area</li>
<li>First stage completely protected by an Elastomer shell</li>
</ul>
<p>The Cressi—Sub Ellipse Black MC5 is now available for only<strong> $279.95.</strong> That’s a 9% reduction from its original price of $309.00.</p>
<p>So how does the Cressi –Sub Ellipse stack against its competitors? According to scubadiving.com, “Exhaust bubbles were a little more noticeable than other regs in this review, but that&#8217;s to be expected with such a compact exhaust tee. The top-mounted venturi adjustment lever was easy to find and effective in preventing surface free-flows. During in-water dives, we rated it highly for comfort thanks to a light feel and a soft mouthpiece. On the ANSTI breathing machine, it earned Very Good scores within recreational diving range and Good scores under extreme conditions”.<br />
Having said all that, if you’re looking for a lightweight reg under $500 that’s big on the performance department as well, you may want to consider Cressi-Sub Ellipse Black MC5.</p>
