Oceanic GEO?

[teerlkay]

anyone own one (or it's Aeris twin)? Comments?

Seems to everything my Veo does but concerned about size of display

Got one from ST... make sure to get the velcro strap or replace with bungee cord.

Very happy with it.

I am happy with mine. Here's a post I wrote about the Geo: Need Advice On These 3 Comps

I responded later in the thread regarding my experiences with it in colder, darker waters. There are several other great, basic, computers available as well - although Scuba gear in general is expensive, it's pretty amazing the functionality available in compact, recreational computers at accessible prices.

I think the greatest virtue of the Geo is it's value for money. It has got all the functions that you need and is priced very competitively. I have no issues with the display but I think that is relative for every individual.

I have one and dive with it frequently. The pluses: Good sized display, easy to use the functions, is nitrox capable, back lit and computer down loadable.

the minuses: You have to press buttons to see your cns % bar - not that it's a big deal, but a bother. The geo is also only a watch, you can't add it to a console if you want to go that route.

a quick search at the top of this forum will return probably 10 different threads on the Geo, including one I started myself....

in short, great little computers...

I had to take out the pins to add the velcro strap... you could use small diameter bungee cord and work under the pins.

I have the Aeris Manta - good basic computer, works well, easy to read, nitrox capable.

Just remove the pins and straps, and work bungee under the pins while reinstalling. I did mine pretty quickly and easily. Pics of mine, as well as a friend of CompuDude's bungeed wrist comp, in this thread: Attaching bungee straps

My wife uses the Geo and is pretty happy with it. IMO the numbers are pretty large for a wrist watch style computer. The numbers are bigger than those on my Citizen Cyber Aqualand Nx. I personally like my Citizen better than my wife's Geo, but I'm sure that's just because that's what I'm used to. The Geo should handle anything a recreational diver needs. Bottom line... If you buy it, I doubt you will regret it.
