Started using the Cyklon 300 regulator in 1978 and dove it through the 80’s. I was out of diving for a while and went right back to Poseidon and dive the Cyklon 5000 and XStream regulators now.
does it lock so it doesn't unreel by itself?
Do you have any personal recommendations for an environmentally sealed first stage?
Absolute agreement.
It’s in no way obvious how to attach it (which numerous questions about it show) and a review of an accessory should include such demonstration.
Oh, there are two holes on the bottom of the weight pocket holder. You put screws of the bracket through the holes. There are holes on the top of the holder too so you could attach two of these pockets per side.
Would love to buy a yellow size 44/45 . Once it saved me not sure a black or green would have done the job .
Great video, thank you!
Thank you for this video. Does the computer have a dive planning mode(NDL Planner) ?
Bad language . .
What the fog???
Your Bird seems to have something to say about this watch (6:00) 😏 Cool watch .. I just bought one so I hope it lives up to the review.
what you will choose ? SEAC Libera vs Cressi duke ?
Great review ! How to connect an action camera ?
If you use google you can answer your own question. "SEAC Cam mount Libera"
What a shit review
I recently purchased the Cressi Patrol BCD. This video helped me with my decision; Thanks. I'm a new diver so I don't have a lot to compare it to other than the lowner from my dive school. which was a wrap around. I was advised by my instructor that a back inflate would assist in trimming out. This BCD definitely kept me level and assisted in proper trim. I did a lot of research before buying. It was reasonably priced and looks to be good quality.
can i use it for kite surfing also?
is this transmitter compatible with Garmin descent MK1?
No
The weight of the fins?
Thanks for the explanation. I cannot see the dive planner in the menu. How can I preview my decompression plan ? (No deco time / depth & time of the dive Stops, 6m, 3m, ...)?
Все очень хорошо! Но ты не пробовал задать себе вопросы, почему Декомпрессиметр Suunto Cobra который сделали 20 лет назад, рассчитан до глубины 150 метров? А этот прибор за 900 долларов можно погрузить до 100м ? Тогда зачем там столько настроек газов и градиент фактора? Если я с глубины 100 м опущу руку вниз ко дну то стеклышко лопнет? Или через пару месяцев прибор перестанет работать ? Например аккумулятор. И я захочу вернуть их по гарантии? Что мне скажут ? Эй, парень, ты сумасшедший, ты каждую неделю ныряешь на 110 метров. У нас гарантия только до 100. Это пустышка, маркетинг и обман дайверов. Этот прибор для погружений до 30 метров. Красивая игрушка. А цена ему максимум 250 долларов. А такие обзоры может делать 10 летний пользователь тик ток. Почему бы тебе не встать из-за стола, одеть гидрокостюм? Нырнуть? Показать как работает датчик скорости всплытия? Его удобно видно? На табло есть данные о скорости погружения? Сколько раз нужно нажать кнопки ( и показать какие) для переключения между газовыми смесями при всплытии на декомпрессионных остановках? Кислородное насыщение он показывает в каких единицах? OTU или в %CNS? Где это у него на табло? А вообще было бы хорошо, если бы ты эти Suunto мне отправил, я бы их нормально потестировал и тебе отправил хороший видеоотчет. Часы бы себе оставил. Они красивые. А то у нас тут в бедуинской деревне возле Arch Blue Hole таких не продают.
it's very pity that the compass doesn't work in the dive mode....
Just bought it, didn’t dive with it yet but first two days as a sports watch were just amazing. I love the visualisation of my bike route can’t wait to see how does it summarise my dives. The feature I’d like to have is tracker so I could find my Suunto if I lost it.
Looks very poor , like all other Scubapro computers , horrible brand . Avoid as a hell ...
Nice review :)
Garmin Descent G1 can be purchased for half price of the Suunto Ocean at the moment. Yes it doesn't have air integration and color screen, but it's like 400 euro less.
The Garmin Descent is like buying Hi-Tech trainers when you really want Nike, in the long run (excuse the pun), you won't miss the money but will enjoy all the benefits of Nike.
@@krisdalziel3311The problem is that it doesn't bring any benefits for me. It just looks better and that's all. Except air integration everything else is possible with Garmin Descent G1 and if you want top of the line it's Garmin Descent MK3 series not Suunto Ocean. I don't see any game changer there. They should lower the price and maybe release a cheaper option without air integration.
@@X2deff I'm a 52-year-old Master Scuba Diving Instructor, I have been as instructor for over 30 years. I've used all sorts of Computers and watches during my time, including my Submariner, because I can :) No offence meant but I am not just a diving instructor, I like the extra functionality that the Suunto brings because I can wear it every day for just about any activity, this watch brings that to the party, but the Garmin doesn't. I prefer function and the Suunto even comes in cheaper than the Garmin. I've used many Garmin watches, they are pretty good but I'll stick with Suunto for this choice. Thank you for your thoughts though, it isn't just about the cost for me, frankly, I don't care about the cost at all because it's supposed to save my life so my choice is my choice as yours is yours. At this moment I still use my old Suunto Stinger and it works like a dream :) Now that was expensive 22 years ago.
@@krisdalziel3311what do you mean by benefits of Nike?
@@jambalaya428 IMO - Garmin = Hi-Tech and Suunto = Nike.
Thank you for a great review. Can I see the compass while diving? In the manual, I did not see what button activates it.
With the current firmware version compass cannot be activated in dive mode. But you can access it in all other modes including free dive. Suunto have said they will activate underwater compass functionality very soon with a software update. I believe they are still testing it to make sure it’s 100% before they release it, so when it is released your unit will automatically update via the app and the compass functionality will be activated.
So cool all these infos! Thank you!
😀 it really is a great dive watch!
Needs a metal band option. Price isn't bad but a metal band will sell it to me. I have a garmin mk2i with titanium band paid 1650usd (sale), with pod and leather strap this suunto is 1430usd msrp.
Yes it would be great to get this unit with a steel or titanium band as these definitely last longer than the other straps! We will let the suunto agents know about this when we see them again 😀
thanks for the great review ^_^
Looking great 👍 What is the price?
In South Africa this unit retails @ R5999 Rands, but in USD that's around $300
How is the lock? Is it strong enough?
HI, I have used these as an instructor for the past year and never had a problem, once locked in place they are 100% secure, you just need to be careful when removing and re-inserting them. You need to make sure the pin lines up with the holes when putting the pins back in as you can bend them if you are not careful.
Put them on, damn you
If I want to see depth and freedive time, which item should I choose to start calculating?
I can’t get this fuxking thing out of sleep mode
HI, have you tried to hard reset it? Then do firmware update and sync to see if that clears it. If that does not help best to bring it back to the guys you bought it from or send it into the nearest Garmin support centre for them to run a diagnostic.
What size do you suggest? I’m size UK8 and will wear them with 3mm socks.
The Quattro comes in a size 8-9uk so this would be best with a 3mm sock if you are 8uk as the foot pocket is bigger compared to other fins.
@@TheScubaProfessionals Thank you. I have a pair of Avanti Tre size 8-9 and they fit perfectly without neoprene socks. Hopefully Quattro sizing is a bit larger.
I thought it was to get the fishes attention.
😂Yes I suppose they will get the fishes attention as well, but the main reason is to get attention of fellow divers.
How much stress do these put on your legs ? I'm 65 now with very average leg strength. Thanks so much. Chuck
HI, they are a relatively stiff fin, if you looking for something softer then the scubapro seawing Nova 2 fin may be better. But you do get used to them very quickly, they are not as stiff as a Mares Quattro, but they are stiffer than the older scubapro seawing nova 2
I love the wristwatch style, however it seems SP is using a low resolution display. All fonts have pixelated portions. SP should have used a better display in one of its tops.
HI Diogro, yes we have noted the same on the consol mounted unit, although the edges are pixelated it is a much bigger screen so we have found it is still quite easy to ready, we would assume that if SP used an LCD screen it may use more battery to power such a big screen space and maybe that why they went for the lower resolution. But we think due to the sheer size of the screen the slight pixelation has not been an issue for us.
Do they float?
we have found they at natural to slight buoyant
Is that global needle?
Thank for the review ! Im a new diver qnd i want to make my first purchase right. What us the main difference between this mares silver bp&w and the mares xr rec trim ?
would you recommend upgrading to the steel backplate?
Can I remove this from the wrist strap and put it in my SPG console.
👍🤿😎
😀
What about tinted lenses, I have the oceanic shadow 50 edition and I wouldn't dare to use this method.. Edit: nvm wrote the comment too early haha
Yip, we cover tinted lens masks about 1/2 way through the video. 😎
That’s an urban myth about the Russians and a pencil. You don’t want pencils in free fall, pencil shavings and graphite dust would be a major problem. Good review though.
This is what I have and love it. Perfect match for my HydrosPro BCD w/ Air 2 for travel. Just added a short high pressure hose for my Teric transmitter. Bling? No, not relevant for me, just didn't see any reason to pay extra for the carbon version.
Is it possible to put it on the arm ?
Is the G260 really heavy and large as some people write? Is it the size of maybe the s620Ti?
Do fins come with insert to keep foot pocket from collapsing?
Is this considered a low vol mask suitable for new divers? I have a long face and I worry about water getting in
