Suunto D9

Here's my wish: I want all of my gear integrated, streamlined, unobtrusive, tidy and able to leap small buildings (metaphorically — unless it's possible, then heck yeah!) with its inherent capability.

So far, only one item in my garage fits the bill: my Suunto D9 (from Aqualung) dive computer. It looks like a watch that's trendy enough for women to think I'm being hip and fashionable and men to notice and remark upon, which puts that ever-elusive cool factor in my gear swagger. It does all my thinking for me and makes adjustments to my no deco time, based upon a whole host of factors (time at depth, ascent rate, gas, breathing rate, etc.). It's hoseless, which keeps my profile to a minimum in the water, so the fish don't think I'm more of an evil monster than I already appear to them. And it helps me know my place in the world with a digital compass. It's super easy to use too. I can change gas from air to nitrox quickly, check out my accumulated hours underwater, or follow my dive profile minute by minute with a dive profile graph. All of which is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the functionality of this machine. And every time I put it on my wrist, I think: "This is so friggin' cool!" Then I giant stride into my favorite place on Earth and I'm living in a world of fulfilled wishes.
