The Cobra 2 will soon become your favorite dive buddy as you explore its many features and assets. One of the Cobra2's top bragging rights is its electronic compass that includes the ability to recognize and account for tilt. No longer do you need to worry about your compass being perfectly level in order to get an accurate reading. In addition to the electronic compass, the Cobra 2 offers dive planning/profiling, allowing you to plot out your dives without getting a single drop of water on your dive gear. Pre-planning dives leads to safer and more enjoyable dives.
To the developers at Suunto, diver safety is paramount. That is why they developed the Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM), which predicts how gasses will be absorbed into the diver's body based on the dive's progress. By tracking and predicting this absorption rate, the Cobra 2 can stay on top of decompression requirements, as well as repetitive dive calculations and rapid ascent situations.
Right out of the box, the Cobra 2 can log and store 42 hours of dive time. With a little adjusting, it can store up to 128 hours of logs. Just think of how many dives you can carry around with this computer! With the Cobra 2 by your side, you can make the most of your bottom time safely and efficiently.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto Cobra 2 Air/Nitrox Air Integrated Computer Console with Electronic Compass:
Bought this computer just before going to Grand Cayman and logged 18 dives with it there over 6 days. The computer is very easy to use, and did not seem to have too conservative of a dive profile (you can adjust this too)and I am very pleased with my purchase. Nice thing is I feel I can "grow" into this computer with all it's functions rather than being limited by it.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto Cobra 2 Air/Nitrox Air Integrated Computer Console with Electronic Compass:
I found it etremly difficult to get to the mode for Nitrox/air. you have to screen thru numerous modes to do so. The instruction booklet was not clear and the flowchart confusing. The buttons are diffcult to manlipulate with dive gloces on and the back light is poor.
I would rather spend my time diving than scrolling thru screens in preperation.
I would not reccomend this to anyone and will try and sell mine online.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto Cobra 2 Air/Nitrox Air Integrated Computer Console with Electronic Compass:
Bought this for my daughter when she obtained her junior certification. I though I would continue to use my gauges and watch, and dive the tables. I used the computer when she wasn't able to dive one day on our trip to the Turk & Caicos. The computer is simply another world in safety. Extends bottom time and creates a good record of the dive.
The instructions are somewhat technical and required several readings to be able to know what to do to get the information you need, but once you are familiar with the functions it is everything I expected.
I had no trouble with the compass.
I am purchasing my own before our next dive.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto Cobra 2 Air/Nitrox Air Integrated Computer Console with Electronic Compass:
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're so terribly concerned about your underwater bearings, keeping a compass at level is already your best bet . . .

Comments about Aqualung Suunto Cobra 2 Air/Nitrox Air Integrated Computer Console with Electronic Compass:
I use it in every single dive I have ever made, night/day dives in cold/very cold water, clear and not at all clear water (North Sea, in The Netherlands) .
Easy to operarte and read in all condition; Great digital compass; dive info, profile, etc.
I suggest that the manufacturer must add few examples on the use of different functionality of it (ex. Locking a bearing).
Every thing was Perfect

Comments about Aqualung Suunto Cobra 2 Air/Nitrox Air Integrated Computer Console with Electronic Compass:
This computer is very nice, but the electronic compass is not very useful. The compass is difficult to use because you have to switch screens often. The computer must also be very close to level for the compass to start indicating. If buying this cpu for navigation, I would choose the old analog style unit.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto Cobra 2 Air/Nitrox Air Integrated Computer Console with Electronic Compass:
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't that bad though.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto Cobra 2 Air/Nitrox Air Integrated Computer Console with Electronic Compass:
I was looking for a computer plus pressure gauge and this has everything. It is very easy to use and read, it has a lot of functions but it is conservative, something I consider good. The easy attach hose works perfectly and let you separate the computer of the regulator, a great feature to travel. Now I do not have to use separate instruments in my divings. Use scuba equipment before to buy it.
