Colour Screens - Are they worth it?Updated 2 years ago

Colour Screens are here to colourize the underwater world just like they revolutionized the mobile phone world! But they are still an emerging technology so have the anticipated attached price tag.
So, are they worth it?

Colour Screens have started to appear on flagship models emerging from companies:

• Suunto Dive Computers
• Scubapro Dive Computers
• Shearwater Dive Computers
• Aqualung Dive Computers
• Mares Dive Computers
• Garmin Dive Computers

These screens offer enhanced visibility underwater due to the fact that they can create more contrasting displays by using more colours, which is great for those murky UK dives or during night dives. The high colour contrast also makes them very easy to read on the surface in bright sunlight! The only real downside to the colour screens is the cost attached, although another way to look at it is that you'll generally only see colour screens on the premium models - so you'll often be getting a whole hand full of other premium features too!
