Choosing among dive computers & instruments comes down to a practical fork: do you want air information and navigation built into a console, or a wrist-worn computer you can read as a separate unit? Price matters too, but the $380.04 spread here also tracks differences in format, condition, and listed features. The useful way to narrow the field is to pick your setup first, then weigh the condition and price attached to it.
Quick take
The Aqualung i330R brings a two-gauge console and compass. The used Suunto Cobra with case combines air integration and compass in its title, while the new-in-box Suunto Cobra centers on a console, air integration, and tank-pressure tracking. The Shearwater Peregrine is the wrist-worn route, with decompression calculations and dive profiling in its description. The listed prices range from $119.95 to $499.99, creating a $380.04 spread between the lowest and highest entries.

Product notes
Aqualung i330R 2 Gauge Scuba Dive Computer Plus Compass
The Aqualung i330R 2 Gauge Scuba Dive Computer Plus Compass suits a diver who wants a console combining a PSI dive computer and compass. Its description calls out a bright color screen readable in sunlight, a rechargeable battery, four modes, three nitrox mixes, and Bluetooth connection. Those details give it a broad feature mix for someone choosing a console. The limitation is its used condition, with minor cosmetic signs of use described. Choose the Aqualung when the compass, screen, rechargeable battery, and Bluetooth connection are more important than selecting a new unit.
Suunto Cobra Air Integrated Scuba Dive Computer Compass Console w/ Case Untested
The Suunto Cobra Air Integrated Scuba Dive Computer Compass Console w/ Case Untested is aimed at shoppers who want air integration and a compass in a console package. The title also identifies a protective case, and its listed price is the lowest in this comparison. The important limitation is explicit: the used unit is listed as untested. That condition should carry significant weight for a diver who places more emphasis on a new unit or a clearly described operating history. Pick this Suunto when the air-integrated format, compass, case, and lower listed price outweigh the untested designation.
Suunto Cobra Air-Integrated Scuba Dive Computer - NEW in Box - Console
The Suunto Cobra Air-Integrated Scuba Dive Computer - NEW in Box - Console fits shoppers seeking a new console-mounted computer with air integration. Its description lists tank-pressure, depth, time, and no-decompression-limit tracking, along with nitrox compatibility, audible and visual alarms, a user-replaceable battery, and a large easy-to-read display. The console-mounted format is the main setup consideration for someone comparing it with the wrist-worn Peregrine. Choose this Cobra when new condition and the listed air-integration functions are central to the purchase, with a console format that suits the rest of the equipment.
Shearwater Research Peregrine Adventures Edition Dive Computer
The Shearwater Research Peregrine Adventures Edition Dive Computer is the clear match for shoppers who prefer a wrist-worn setup. Its description highlights decompression calculations and dive profiling, while the attributes identify the Peregrine model and new condition. Those details give it a focused reason to choose: the computer is described as a wrist-worn tool for scuba and snorkeling. The trade-off is its position at the highest listed price, $380.04 above the used Suunto Cobra with compass and case. Choose it when wrist wear and the Peregrine's listed functions matter more than keeping the purchase near the lower end of the range.
Final recommendation by use case
- For air integration in a new console: choose the Suunto Cobra Air-Integrated Scuba Dive Computer - NEW in Box - Console. Its title and description align on new condition, console format, and tank-pressure tracking.
- For air integration plus compass and case: choose the Suunto Cobra Air Integrated Scuba Dive Computer Compass Console w/ Case Untested. The used and untested designation is the key trade-off.
- For a compass-equipped console with a bright screen, rechargeable battery, and Bluetooth: choose the Aqualung i330R 2 Gauge Scuba Dive Computer Plus Compass.
- For wrist-worn scuba use and dive profiling: choose the Shearwater Research Peregrine Adventures Edition Dive Computer, accepting its highest listed price.
