Choosing dive computers & instruments means balancing named functions against condition and price. An air-integrated console may suit one diver, while a compass, extra battery, or a different model may matter more to another. The key split here is whether you want a new Suunto Cobra package, the used-and-untested compass version, or the open-box AquaLung i330R.
Quick take
- Compass and case: The Suunto Cobra Air Integrated console puts both features in its title, but it is listed as used and untested.
- New-in-box Suunto: The Suunto Cobra Air-Integrated console combines air integration with named tracking, Nitrox compatibility, alarms, and original packaging.
- Extra battery and modes: The Suunto Cobra Dive Computer adds an extra battery, RGBM, Nitrox, Gauge mode, backlighting, and a logbook.
- Different model: The AquaLung i330R is described as new, open box, powered on to verify function, and never used in water.

Product notes
Suunto Cobra Air Integrated Scuba Dive Computer Compass Console
The Suunto Cobra Air Integrated scuba computer is the clearest fit when a compass and included case are central to the purchase. Its title also identifies an air-integrated console, keeping the product aligned with shoppers seeking tank-related dive instrumentation. The concrete limitation is the title's Untested designation, alongside its Used condition, so the USD 119.95 price comes with a more substantial condition consideration than the new Suunto entries. Choose it when the compass-and-case combination is more important than receiving a new unit; otherwise, the untested status is the main reason to place it behind the new-condition choices.
Suunto Cobra Air-Integrated Scuba Dive Computer - New in Box
The Suunto Cobra Air-Integrated console suits shoppers who want a new-in-box package with a clearly described set of functions. Its description names air integration, tank-pressure, depth, and time tracking, no-decompression limits, Nitrox compatibility, audible and visual alarms, a user-replaceable battery, and Suunto RGBM. Original packaging, manuals, and accessories are also described. The limitation is that the product title emphasizes the console package rather than a compass. At USD 195.49, it sits USD 4.51 below the other new Suunto Cobra, making its packaging and included materials the clearest selection reasons.
Suunto Cobra Dive Computer Air Integrated Console with Extra Battery
The Suunto Cobra Dive Computer stands out for a concrete accessory and feature mix: an extra battery, RGBM decompression, Nitrox support, Air, Nitrox, and Gauge modes, real-time tank-pressure monitoring, a backlight display, alarms, and an onboard logbook. That makes it a natural match for a shopper prioritizing those named functions over compass wording. Its limitation is the USD 200.00 price, which is USD 4.51 above the new-in-box Suunto Cobra. The listed technical figures-altitude adjustment up to 10,000 feet and a 492-foot depth rating-are specifications to consider, not automatic reasons to rank it higher.
AquaLung i330R Dive Computer - New Open Box
The AquaLung i330R is the straightforward alternative for shoppers who want a different model and are comfortable with open-box packaging. The description says it was powered on to verify function and never used in water, while the title identifies a new i330R in open-box condition. Its main limitation is the highest listed price, USD 279.00. The clearest selection cues are the i330R model and its condition wording, while the Suunto titles more explicitly foreground air integration, compass use, or included extras. Choose the AquaLung when the model distinction and open-box status fit your priorities better than the Suunto-specific feature mix.
Final recommendation by use case
- Choose the Suunto Cobra compass console when the built-in compass and case are the deciding features and the used, untested condition is acceptable.
- Choose the new-in-box Suunto Cobra when packaging, manuals, accessories, and a clearly named air-integrated feature set matter most.
- Choose the Suunto Cobra with Extra Battery when the extra battery, RGBM, Nitrox, Gauge mode, backlight, and logbook are the strongest fit.
- Choose the AquaLung i330R when you specifically want that model in new open-box condition and its higher listed price fits the purchase.
The price spread is useful for narrowing the field, but the final choice should follow the concrete feature or condition trade-off that matches the dive setup.
