Standard Features on Diving Computers
There are many standard features on scuba computers such as bottom time; maximum depth reached; surface interval time; airplane fly time; audible alarms; decompression information; and a battery low power indicator. Each manufacturer has added more advanced features on each of their scuba computers.
The three basic type of scuba computers are watch style, module and air integrated. Watch style scuba computers are the wrist scuba computers. They perform all the functions you need and expect from both a wrist and regular scuba computers. Air integrated scuba computers come wireless or connect to your regulator via a high pressure hose. While an air integrated scuba diving computer is very convenient and easy to use it is always recommended to have a backup scuba analog gauge in cause of failure of the dive computer's battery.
Most dive computers come with the standard features that were listed above. More advanced features are also available. There are some dive computers that have user replaceable batteries, but most of them will have to be taken to a trained technician.
