Dive Computers Deposit: $400 Usage fee: $3/dive The Uwatec Aladin Pro is easy to use yet performs its calculations based on the sophisticated adaptive Buhlmann model. Ascent rate alarms, altitude compensation, and no-fly time and a host of other features provide added safety to the diver.

Switching dive computers between dives or doing one dive in a series of dives without the computer could result in a case of the bends!
