Video: ScubaLab Best Buy Dive Computer — Aqua Lung i300
The Aqua Lung i300 dive computer was rated as the Best Buy during the 2016 Dive Computer Review, so we added more details on the easy-to-use computer in the video below.
The i300 keeps things simple and is a very user-friendly dive computer. “Uncomplicated” is how Aqua Lung describes its i300, and we couldn’t say it better. With big characters and clear cues, the display is easy to see, whether in bright sun or deep dark (with an excellent backlight). The two-button advance/select interface is so simple, it won’t confuse even the newest diver. Selecting a nitrox mix is quick and easy, and doesn’t require changing modes, just increasing the FO2. The safety stop is programmable and clearly marked, but the timer doesn’t show seconds. The alt dive screen is easy to access, though there’s not much data. The tissue-loading and ascent-rate graphs are visible and understandable, and the alarms are very good, with a surprisingly bright red LED between the metal buttons, which are easy on the fingers. Also available in a two- or three-gauge console ($399 and $469), the i300 is thoughtfully designed and well-executed at an attractive price.
