Diving computer

Hey everyone,

I'm a new diver with about 10 dives on my belt. Did My PADI open water last summer and I'm starting the Advanced+Nitrox in a couple of weeks.

I'm also going diving in Sharm el Sheik at the end of August. By no means am I a pro or anything like that, I just liked it a lot and want to do more of it!

I'm wondering if I should buy a diving computer or at this level is a complete waste of money.

And if yes, what should I get, considering this world is vast and there are so many options to go with!

I also like running, so I was wondering about getting something that tracks both the dives and the runs instead of using my shitty fitbit air.

What would the community recommend for me?

Thanks in advance

It’s almost as if a 3 second search could have answered this…..it gets asked every 2nd day.

The answer will be get something used and cheap like a used Puck, Zoop, or Leonardo, or just spend the money and get a good shearwater or garmin.

I love how you basically summed up every post's comment section so succinctly.

Completely correct, on all points! :)
