Most products sold for use in the U.S. are in imperial units, feet instead
of meters, psi instead of bar.  On the other hand, there are products
available in your choice of units and those that can be changed by the user.
If this is the issue you're most concerned about, check with the seller.

There are other things to keep an eye out for.  Product liability laws vary
from one country to the next.  Warrantee provisions tend to match the
liability laws of the intended market for a product.  Some products designed
for non U.S. markets can not be serviced in the U.S.  The reverse may well
be true.  I very much doubt that a computer is one of them, but it's worth
checking.  Also check on your country's tax laws.  You may run into import
duties, value added taxes, shipping and insurance costs that make the U.S.
purchase more expensive than it appears on the surface.

Most computers, give you the option in the set up menus - hope yours
does too!

Hi Kristian

Regarding Uwatec DC & units, I can give yuo the following adivce:
With the older (non Smart) DCs you can only change the the units via an
interface (Memo Mouse $$$ or a selfmade cable) using Uwatec's free software.
On the Smart DCs the can units can be changed using the newer version of
Uwatec's SW and a normal IR-interface.

Hope this info is of help to you.

I own SMARTS as well as older models.
I have no idea if the EU model is any different. I seriously doubt it.
The economic reality of producing different software for something as
silly as EU or US makes it unlikely, but as long as you have morons like
Monti in charge of your affairs, anything is possible.

I can tell you that I can set my SMART computer to metric or imperial
using the smarttrack software. The setting changes include at least
temp/pressure/distance. In addition, regardless of my SMART display
settings, the smarttrak software will display in metric or imperial
again, for temperature, pressure and distance.

I can also tell you that the interface is IR, not 2 wire serial, so
you don't need any special devices other than a modern computer to
change the SMART settings.

safe diving,

In about 30 seconds I went to their site, looked up the info on the Smart
Pro, and found "User switchable metric/imperial"

So, to answer your quesiton, no there's no difference.

The US manual will probably be full of warnings about not doing
decompression diving. Apparently it's really dangerous.  Personally I'd
much rather have an Apeks Quantum. It's a lot cheaper and does a lot more.

Thank you everyone for your imputs - much appreciated.

Got as well a confirmation from Scubapro:

They are all the same.
They sell PSI computers, you can change it back to BAR with the
software.
Make sure you use an authorised dealer and obtain a warranty
