Hi, Trying to find a manual for the Orca Phoenix computer. Either a
download or a copy someplace. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Apparently you can still order the Phoenix manual from the Orca
website (http://www.orcadivecomputer.com/prod02.htm)for $5.00 payable
through PayPal.
I still have a Phoenix computer myself so my copy of the manual is
somewhere in my home. I was unable to find it after a quick shufti.
I'll take a longer look this week end. I removed the manual from my
dive bag after changing computers and have moved homes twice since
then so it could be anywhere.
How urgent is your need?

Thanks John
Some one contacted me and is sending a copy of his through the mail. I
went to the orca site and tried to e-mail all of the addresses and
they all came back "no longer valid" or something along that line. I
called EIT and did speak to someone there that was familiar with the
Phoenix, but said they haven't dealt with any computers or litature
for about 12 years! And the paypal account said they are still a valid
account, but if the e-mails aren't any good, I doubt if the paypal
thing would work. Last time the website was updated was in '04. So I'm
hoping for a nice copy, and I can put it in a .pdf format for future
reference and also if someone else is looking for one. I sorta grew up
on the Phoenix computer and really like it, easy to use, easy to see
and they are out there in abundance still.
Thanks, there's no rush. Taking my AOW in the middle of June (been out
of diving for a while!) with a refresher next week and diving with my
brother in law before class. Can't wait!
Thanks again,
Steve

Welcome back to diving!
Sorry my info about the Orca site was out of date.
The Phoenix was my first dive computer and I really liked it. Big easy
to read graphics. 'Riding the line' for deco stops was a nice touch.
(There's a similar feature on my current dive computer). The dive log
on a PC was pretty neat too.
I didn't know that many are still in use seeing that EIT stopped
supporting them.
Mine was/is the air only version so can't handle nitrox and 100%
oxygen deco.
I kept it 'just in case' ...
