New WISDOM 2 Scores High Marks
June 2007, Scuba Diving Magazine –
Test divers found a lot to like about this updated version of Sherwood Scuba’s popular air-integrated console computer, starting with the large screen, easy-to-read digits and simple navigation menus. All the important data is on the main screen, and air pressure stands out with the biggest digits of any computer tested in this review. The Wisdom 2 is a single-gas computer with nitrox capability up to 50 percent oxygen, and a gauge mode. Easy-to-read bar graphs present nitrogen tissue loading, oxygen loading and ascent rate information alone the perimeter, with caution zones highlighted in yellow. The integrated console design means there are never any “linking” issues with transmitters. It can also accept a compact compass for a slim, off-the wrist instrument panel, and an optional quick-disconnect fitting lets you take the computer with you between dives. As with other air -integrated computers, the Wisdom 2 offers a number of user-controlled alarm settings that warn you when you’re low on air, reaching no-deco limits, exceeding ascent rates or approaching oxygen thresholds.
LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE – Liberal. While there are no personal safety factor settings, the nitrogen-loading bar graph makes it easy to monitor and manage your exposure throughout the dive.
OWNER’S MANUAL – With step-by-step instructions written in plain English and great illustrations, the Wisdom 2 owner’s manual earned the highest possible score from out test divers.
BOTTOM LINE – The Wisdom 2 is an easy-to-use console computer that delivers everything you need to know with a clear and intuitive design. Price: $800; $870 with compass; $855 with quick-disconnect; $890 with both.
