Rant: Tried a new dive computer on a salvage job in Mobile Bay, and the old one was way better.

We were doing a 90 foot recovery, and the new unit's screen was impossible to read in the low vis. My old, simpler computer with the big, clear numbers let me track my deco without any guesswork. Has anyone else had a dive computer fail them when you really needed the info?

My old computer's screen was also terrible in murky water, so maybe it's just a common design flaw?

Totally get that. Fancy screens suck in bad viz. Sometimes the old gear just works better.
