As one year ends and another begins, people begin to make plans for their next big vacation. LeisurePro.com one of the largest sellers of scuba equipment in the world, has pulled together its picks for the "Top Underwater Gadgets and Gear" for those planning scuba diving trips in 2008.

"I was 12 years old when I was asked to go scuba diving for the first time on vacation with my parents at a Red Sea resort. Now, 25 years later and with over 5,000 dives under my weight belt, scuba diving is a way of life," says Ben Teichberg, Master Scuba Instructor with LeisurePro. "If you are passionate about scuba, like me, you want to find the best gear to take with you when you dive. The following items are picks we at LesiurePro recommend for your next underwater adventure."

Suunto Cobra 2 Air/Nitrox Air Integrated Computer Console with Electronic Compass --$679.95

One of the Cobra2's top bragging rights is its electronic compass that

includes the ability to recognize and account for tilt. No longer do you

need to worry about your compass being perfectly level in order to get

an accurate reading. In addition, the Cobra 2 offers dive planning/profiling, allowing you to plot out your dives without getting a single drop of water on your dive gear. The developers at Suunto also developed the Reduced Gradient Bubble Model (RGBM), which predicts how gasses will be absorbed into the diver's body based on the dive's progress. By tracking and predicting this absorption rate, the Cobra 2 can stay on top of decompression requirements, as well as repetitive dive calculations and rapid ascent situations.
