Great backlighting. Easy to read. Ergonomic and low profile. The Quick Detach is a must have. I do recommend putting some hose caps on when the computer is detached from the hose though. The compass is really good and easy to dial in and read, even in low visibility. I have used with air and Nitrox EAN36 with no problems. Easy to program. Study the manual and get used to it before you dive. You shouldn't be learning how to use your computer while deeper than about 20 feet.

Easy to read instructions and simple to use on multiple dives does all your dive table work. If you want a dive computer that tells you everythig buy this one.SC

I bought two of these. My wife's failed after 13 dives and mine failed after 50 dives (one month's dive time).

It took Sherwood 3 months to repair and return to me, and all they could say is "you must have got water in it". I think it is a POOR company that blames the customer for shoddy workmanship and defective products!

I have 6 other Sherwood set-ups for my students/divers use and have had problems with breakage and have had to rebuild them after less than 30 dives.

I am a Professional Diver who knows how to take care of gear - my livelihood depends upon it !!!

This AIN'T the same Sherwood Company that it used to be - and the quality absolutely SUX !!!

IF you buy one of these units you BETTER add a REDUNDANT set of analog gauages because when the Wisdom 2 fail you lose all your dive data (bottom time, air remaining, depth, et cetera) !!!

They shut-off under water ... failed to water activate ... finally even refused to activate at all! What a waste of money!

On the good side, the numbers (when they work) are easy to see, but the Manaual is awkward to understand.

Very easy to use.

Easy to read, lots of functions more than I will ever use. Simple two button operation makes it a snap to use once you figure it out. Well worth the price.

I've been using this computer in Monterey Bay, CA for about 50 dives now, and I am madly in love with it. The screen is easy to read, the menus are intuitive, and the use of the two buttons make sense.

However, there are some negative things.

1)The compass seem to stick from time to time, and isn't as easy to read as some other compasses I've used.

2)The quick disconnect is nice if you plan on connecting to a PC, but if not, I would go without. It makes it easy to forget at home, easy to loose off a boat (seen it done), and be careful if you ever have to do an air-off bailout.

3)The PC software can be troublesome. Getting the dives off the wisdom is unintuitive and the software decides from time to time that it doesn't want to save your changes to dives.

Despite these problems, I still highly recommend this computer, and I'll give it a 5 since the problems are not with the wisdom 2 itself.

I'm a new diver and just used this for the first time this weekend in FL. All of the info that you need is in front of you at all times and easy to read. It's easy to operate both in water and out. I'm glad that I purchased it.

Love the clear function headings, simple to set for each dive. First use was during 20 dive week in Bonair, mastered the settings in a day

This was my first dive computer. I have gone on to a UWATEC Galileo Sol and have passed the Wisdom 2 down to my daughter was has enjoyed it immensely.

The Wisdom 2 is a fine computer for almost any diving situation. The layout is intuitive, the numbers are large and easy to read and the ergonomics are great.

My only complaints are:

1.) The skimpiness of the manual. It sometimes takes a while, especially for a novice diver, to figure out how to set the thing up and why a certain setting might be appropriate. This admittedly is a minor quibble but it exacerbates problem #2.

2.) The totally non-intuitive way you D/L the dive information from the dive computer into your PC. I'm not sure what the designers were "smoking" but unless they've changed the software in the last month, you still has to use the original cumbersome method. If you do what seems intuitive. set the software to receive and the dive computer to transmit, you get a transfer msg but it doesn't go to the program on the PC. There is a 4-5 step dog-and pony show that you have to go thru to get the data into the electronic dive log.

3.) Like so many other top of the line dive computers, after paying $600-$1200 you have to shell out another $40-$70 for their propriety cable.

I really like that it is pressure integrated and can be used for air or nitrox. I'm glad I bought it with the quick-disconnect, when doing multiple dives you can take it off and record info into your dive log. The large numbers make it easy to read both in and out of the water. Great computer.

Easy reader for us 60 year old divers, easy button and menu system. Only problem I have had was an operator error. I flooded the battery compartment-my bad. but a quick rinse and new battery put it back in working order. Decompression program makes sense to me ie, not too conservative or too liberal.

I've been on two lake dives using this computer. Easy to read, easy to use. Bummer the USB dosen't come with the computer.

I used my new computer in Curacao for the first time. Great computer, easy to use. The owner's manual is not great but with some effort the computer itself is very easy to use. I bought the computer cable and love the dive log program.

Comments about Sherwood Sherwood CG9105 Wisdom 2 Dive Computer with Compass:

This is my first computer so I did lots of research before buying it. I am glad I did, because once I got it I realized I will be enjoying this bad boy for years to come. I though about buying a wrist computer and transmitter but I realized it's just more chances for something to fail, so I went with the safer choice. I don't think there is anything missing in this computer. Digits are big and easy to read under water, and has all the bells and whistles you may ever need. The quick disconnect feature is really great.

Comments about Sherwood Sherwood CG9105 Wisdom 2 Dive Computer with Compass:

great computer, easier to use than the suunto. although i like the suunto pc software more than the sherwoods. i bought the quick disconnect version which is a worth while feature, i just wish the would include some dust caps for the connectors. suunto has them with their quick disconnects. but as i stated earlier it is easier to use than the suunto and the buttons are easier to push. great product and this is something you dont go penny pinching with.

Solid product, plenty of features and alarms.The USB cable to connect to the PC should be included in the price. Very convenient fly timer, ueful when diving abroad.

Comments about Sherwood Sherwood CG9105 Wisdom 2 Dive Computer with Compass:

I love the computer. Easy to read and the countdown timer gives you peace of mind. Pretty easy to operate. The quick-disconnect is a must-have to help you protect your computer. It comes with a great compass as well. The product manual is not very well written, luckily you can figure the computer out just by playing with it. Make sure you check the factory settings - the deep alarm is supposed to be set for 100 ft, but mine was at 330 before I changed it.
