With Michael Menduno help I authored this article: (They Helped Foment a Dive Computing Revolution: RIP Cochran Undersea Technology (1986-2020)) for GUE's (Global Underwater Explorers) InDepth blog/magazine. It all has been a labor of love, and we hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing and editing it.
As any other article some photographs are left out, not all of them can make it for one reason or another. Below are a few pictures that easily represents the spirit of the written material. Enjoy it!

Thanks Michael
Yes, these DC are so good and well built, that I still use my first Cochran DC
Joel Silverstein was my trimix instructor and I dove with Cochran's for years! They were always my favorite dive computer. I still haven't replaced it.
