Vintage Scuba: The First Dive Computers - S02E01

Many divers think dive computers are a recent invention. Alec shows his collection of experimental, mechanical and digital dive computers from the 1960's to 1980's. These were the ancestors of today's reliable, affordable, accurate and compact dive computers.
