The Suunto Cobra 3 dive computer has it all without overwhelming you with tools you'll never need or use. One of the Cobra 3's bragging rights is the 3-D compass, which will quickly become your new best friend; its ability to give a true reading, even at a 45-degree angle, will make keeping your heading easier than ever. The four-button operation makes the Cobra 3 a snap to use; even if youare wearing thick dive gloves. It is air and nitrox compatible and offers you every opportunity to make the most of your time underwater. The Cobra 3 displays your tank pressure and remaining air time; two key features to keep you safe andbelow the surface as long as possible.

The Cobra 3 graphs each dive profile and has a dive simulator, which offers you to run through your dive without getting your feet wet!

Comments about Aqualung Suunto Cobra 3 Air/Nitrox Air Integrated Computer Console with Electronic 3D Compass, Quick Disconnect Hose:

I had the legacy Cobra for about 5 years before the depth sensor went bad and I decided to replace it with the Cobra 3. The compass was a little tricky at first. Note - Do NOT use a regular wet compass in conjunction with the electronic compass. It is extremely sensitive and the magnet in the wet compass will throw off the electronic one's reading. Took a couple tries to get the compass calibration done. On the first outing, it started off working fine, but during the second portion of the dive, the compass seemed to be stuck between E and NE, only showing a turn of about 15 degrees when going in a complete circle. Later that night tried it again and it worked ok. Taken it out on several dives since with no problems.

Other than that, it's been extremely easy to use, so long as you actually read the instruction manual that comes with it, which surprisingly enough, explains the functions. A couple of the wordings that are in the extreme bottom of the screen can be difficult to read due to being so close to the edge of the face protector, but by changing the viewing angle a little, this is easily solved.

All in all I'm confident this will be another great investment.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto Cobra 3 Air/Nitrox Air Integrated Computer Console with Electronic 3D Compass, Quick Disconnect Hose:

The tables used are way to Conservative. We have a Sherwood Wisdom that is easier to read & operate. not as many functions. Using them side by side on 22 Dives in Bonaire the Suunto went in to a decompression mode way to soon. Then it would not let me dive in the AIR mode until it was out of the water for 24 hours. The Wisdom said we were fine. We keep diving for 4 days after that with no problems using the Wisdom as the reference & computer. If you want the Computer to cut your diving SHORT Buy the Suunto. Not for me. We dive 3-4 dives a day. The Suunto said no fly for 18 hours longer than the Wisdom. We flew a 6 hours flight & were home for 6 Hours before the Suunto said we could fly.

This is a great dive computer. It has all the functions you would need, then some. It is perfect for the rec diver, and has the ability to do full deco if you loose track of time. If you want to be a safe diver, the Cobra 3 is the computer for you.

Comments about Aqualung Suunto Cobra 3 Air/Nitrox Air Integrated Computer Console with Electronic 3D Compass, Quick Disconnect Hose:

This is, by far, the most complicated dive computer I have ever seen or used. Suunto factory service also leaves much to be desired. If you want something that is easy to operate, look at a computer that has no more than 2 buttons. There are many computers that can run circles around the Suunto and are MUCH easier to program and operate.
