Whether you live the life of James Bond or Lara Croft, you may occasionally find yourself underwater, scuba diving. From Swiss company Uemis comes this computer with colored OLED display. The Uemis Zurich diver assistant supports 10.000:1 contrast ratio in a colored display, has intuitive menu control, and 5-way navigation with three non-slip slide controls.
The scuba driver assistant can be connected to a PC via USB and the myUemis can also be synchronized in a similar manner. It also has a tank pressure sensor which transmits the tank pressure to the SDA uemis Zurich. The wristbands are available in three different sizes, in case you have an odd wrist.
The entire unit gets power through a lithium-polymer battery or integrated high-performance solar cells. Great way to get all the info you need while diving.

Really nice to view. But I don’t think it is possible to plan your dives (no planner inside).
After three weeks the mine has blocked. No way to connect it at the PC.
I sent it to Uemis Zurich and am still waiting it back…
Not very nice for professionals to wait so much time without a solution.
Great! After three weeks waiting my uemis SDA is back and updated. It seems that the problem was the boot loader. Now, I thought, I can use it again, just in time for my next holidays.
This time I would have liked to dive in the Red Sea for a week. The first day was fine. Everything worked well, but at the second day I got the same problem as before (this time in the middle of the dive).
That means I could dive only two days, before my uemis SDA turned off and left me without any information. Charge was ok. As before, it is impossible to turn it on again nor to connect it to my laptop.
I find unacceptable having twice the same problem in ten dives and three months (six dives, a bug which required three weeks to be repaired, four dives, the same bug,…).
I hope they refund me at least what I paid to get a dive computer for the rest of my holiday…
