    I agree with you there are a lot of cons. Unfortunately there is no communication channel left on the Suunto website where a customer could give his feedback to your products. Suunto has completely eliminated any communication with customers. I bought my first Suunto dive computer about 30 years ago: Suunto Solution. I have used it on more than 500 dives and will continue using it. The design of the screen of the Suunto Solution was made by people who understand diving. Now I bought the new D5 trusting in your brand. I am very disappointed. The screen view is made by tech people who do not understand diving. One of the three essential informations - no deco time - is not on the screen by default. And its not in prominent position but small in the arch at the bottom. Further, not necessary information - like safety stop - is blocking part of the screen permanently (the Zoop has a good solution for this.) Now there is the DM 5 software. First, the D5 comes with a USB B connection, which many PCs do not have anymore. Second, once you download the the DM5 you are prompted to further download and install a very large Mono software, which I find too risky. Overall, very bad experience. Wii go back using my Suunto Solution. Display is just better and just what a diver needs.

    I work as a Environmental Officer and I collect the DATA, the hydrologist doesn't collect the DATA. Hydrologists aren't just concerned with the Environment, we have to ask them to do work for us that we can use in our Environmental decisions but they don't actually focus on the environment. I thought this was supposed to be Environmental jobs not people that we contract to help us with our environmental work. Epic fail, epic fail.

    This was my first career choice when I was 5. I remember being super obsessed with octonauts( a kids show about ocean exploration) and as soon as I found out I could have a career all about water I said I was gonna be a marine biologist for a longgg time. I got caught up with other interests and found other careers I’d also love to do but today I watched a documentary and saw some of my favorite sea animals and it sort of reconnected me to the potential of getting into the field. I’m 15 so I’ve still got 3 yrs to figure out what I wanna do, and even if I don’t end up being a marine biologist I’m glad I’ve done some research, and regardless I’d definitely love to be in the water more!

    Right now, all the fields are competitive. It's insane. IMO, the reasoning for this is that there are currently 4 generations in the workforce. I am Gen X and I used to get new jobs pretty easily. Now, it's impossible. Or at least seemingly so. I've been out of work for over a year. Btw, I went to FSU too!
