Uwatec Galileo

Any try one of these units out yet?
Prices on the market?

I think I just read an ad for $1890

It sounds like a nice computer from Scuba Diving Mags gear bag section. It seems a little pricey compared to new Data Mask. I think I would rather have the integrated mask though.

The Data Mask probably does not even have 10% of functions that Galileo is capable of performing...

The latest Scuba diving mag has an article about this computer and it looks very nice. I contacted my LDS and found out that at this time it is a European model only and not available in the US. This will probably change soon. MSRP is approx. 1900.
It appears to have a lot of very nice features and the electronic compass works even when tilted 90 degrees and has a memory of your heading.

As a self proclaimed gadget junkie, I am in LUST. Got this months Scuba Diving magazine. They have a great write up. IF I was single, or a DINK, it would already be on the credit card...

Me too. My LDS said that the ScubaPro rep is coming in next week and he will query them as to when the US version is going to be available and how much. I am hoping that it is not too much and won't have the problems that the Sunnto D9 had. I am always leery of being the first on the block but I could get rid of a hose and my massive compass with this thing.
I am really interested in learning about how it uses heart rates in the computer for protection against DCS.

Now if only Larry and Joe would carry it and offer it as a prize for the best thread (obviously this one ).

I was disappointed to see that it can only be used with 4 wireless transmitters.

I think any self respecting computer these days needs at least 10.

Is there any connection between Heart Rate and DCS?

Maybe they could factor in BMI as well? Hmmm.......on second thoughts that might be a marketing disaster

Looks snazzy, for sure, but I can't help but think of the "Law of Multifunction Devices"....

$2k for an air-integrated computer plus compass? Ouchies.
