Good Computer, but Caution on Vendor!
By Tech Exec
Overall, I find the Suunto Vyper to be a good computer, reasonably priced. As others said, the documentation isn't too good, but after a few minutes of playing with the Vyper it is pretty easy to follow.Prospective purchasers should however be aware that Leisure Pro is NOT an authorized US vendor for Suunto products and the product you receive is a grey market model, typically from another company. This is one reason that you'll often get it in non-English manuals (mine came in German). The product is NOT eligible for the US warranty, although Leisure Pro offers their own warranty. You'll also likely find the computer comes reading out in meters and not in imperial units (feet), and that the manual doesn't tell you how to switch units. It's in the menus on the computer, but you'll have to discover it since it isn't in the US manual.It is disappointing that Amazon does not point out any of this information on the product and thus misrepresents that you're purchasing from an authorized dealer with full manufacturer's warranty.

Excellent computer for what it does
By Brian J
I have had the Vyper for a few years now, and my only complaint is that it does not allow the use of multiple gases during a dive.The display is laid out well and easy to view underwater, and I like it a lot better than the Oceanic Data Plus I used to have. On the surface you can easily review your dives or check O2/no deco limits for another dive. Of course, with the computer you do not use repetitive dive tables.The Suunto dive manager software is a decent logbook and, if you provide a cylinder size and pressures before and after the dive, it will calculate your SAC rate. With the optional download cable you can view your dive profile on a computer afterwards.The computer has a personal adjustment to make the algorithm more conservative if you are in a situation that increases DCS risk.I would recommend this for all divers except serious technical divers. You can check out the manual and try a simulator at the Suunto website.

Works great, but doesn't calculate required surface interval
By M. Harbut
This is my first dive computer, so perhaps my expectations were high in thinking it would calculate the necessary surface intervals between dives. In fact, it only measures the amount of surface time between dives -- you still need to figure out your ending pressure group, etc.I just bought this computer less than a month ago and recently used it during a dive vacation in Bonaire. For what it does, it does quite well. I used it on the air-only setting, and used the max depth and timed dive alarms, both of which worked quite well. I took it on a night dive and found the backlight not as necessary as anticipated because you can just shine the light onto your computer.The documentation leaves a lot to be desired. First of all, the computers (I bought two at the same time) came only with manuals in French and Spanish. The English manual is available on Suunto's Web site as a PDF, but it was a real pain to print out all 71+ pages and lug them around. The manual isn't written very well either, with about 40% of it comprised of disclaimers, warnings, and other Suunto CYA in ALL CAPS, and the manual unnecessarily refers to the buttons on the computers by function rather than label. For example, why refer to a button as "PLAN" when it's marked as "Mode" on the device? It's better than nothing, I guess. The computer also comes with a handy, if not complicated, waterproof quick reference card.When I got home, I downloaded all my dive info to my laptop pretty effortlessly (the cable and software is sold separately). I'm impressed with the amount of data that is automatically stored. The software even generates a graph of each dive based on your minute-by-minute depth. The software doesn't seem to support multiple profiles, so if you and your dive buddy have the same computer, you'll need to install the software on different machines.All in all, I'd recommend this computer, but I have no other frame of reference since it's my first one. The device works as advertised, but make sure your first few dives with it aren't heavy duty, because you'll be fiddling with it quite a bit no matter how many times you've read the manual.
