Comments about Tusa Tusa DC Sapience Wrist Dive Computer (IQ-800):

Very nice computer. At the lowest level of conservatism still seems a bit on the conservative side. The vibrating safety stop function is a bit annoying but the countdown timer is a nice touch. I also didnt like the short back light time.

Its no problem to operate with heavy neoprene gloves. There is really nothing to change in any case because it has all the information in the face ...and when you come shallow it changes over to safety stop mode.

For depth changes it is really sensitive. If you happen to raise your hand during a dive you get an ascent rate violation.

Service & Delivery comments:

well packed, fast delivery, great price. Thanks LP!

Comments about Tusa Tusa DC Sapience Wrist Dive Computer (IQ-800):

This is actually my second computer of this make & model. The battery cap on my first one became damaged, allowing water to get into the electronics which caused it to malfunction. I couldn't wait for repairs, so I bought a second one identical to the first. Hopefully, I'll get the first one back soon so that I'll have a back-up. I like everything about this computer and highly reccommend it to anyone. It's very easy to read and to operate.

Comments about Tusa Tusa DC Sapience Wrist Dive Computer (IQ-800):

I wear reading glasses and this computer makes readers unnecessary. It has a large display and easy to use functions. It has a built in plastic cover that protects the gauge and doesn't block vision. Its vibrate function is awesome in high current diving so you don't have to listen to the beeping. It's also great for those of us with tinitus that can't hear the beeping under water.

Its a great computer with a very good price. I have considerable hearing loss and the vibration alarm is just perfect for me. I definetly reccommend it, also for divers who get annoyed with the sound alarms of other buddys.

Comments about Tusa Tusa DC Sapience Wrist Dive Computer (IQ-800):

This dive computer is nice. I really like the vibrate function. I could imagine it being easy to miss the beeping sound that other computers make. With this thing on your wrist you have no choice but to look at it when it vibrates. Though sometimes it can get a bit annoying when you have made a small infraction of ascention. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a freediving function. Though the dive log shows minute by minute depiction of your dive, and that can suffice for freediving, but if you do that too many times from too great a depth the infraction lock out mode starts up. If you ascend too fast from too deep the computer will shut you out for 72 hours. Not good for freediving. Great computer though.
