I've replaced a battery in a Suunto dive computer myself without a problem.



If you can get a replacement seal, just remove the old one carefully, put a tiny amount of silicon grease on the new one and off you go. Make sure every surface is clean as well.

What make is it, Atay Optics next to Denis Kizi, going into Girne from th east over the 1st roundabout, 300 yards on the left, new battery and pressure tested 25 ytl, had mine done there 3 years running (200 dives annually)... spot on.
