you can change the battery yourself because the design is designed that way.
Thanks for asking. Hi *br> I'm glad you asked. There are indeed differences between them. It is possible to use a wireless air transmitter with the Quad air. I would like to thank Shallow Water Divers *br>Divemaster Chris 866- The number 728. I found your website by searching online for *br>Onlinescuba*
Selected User Reviews For Mares Quad Computer
There have been several lower-end computers I've used, but this is far better. On deep dives as well as at night, it works well. The pros are This is *1/1. Facing the camera is a large sectioned face with a clear organization. * ** 2. There are many buttons and menus to choose from. After learning how to navigate the menus in less than five minutes, I felt comfortable using it. 1. 2. 3. It is not bulky like I was worried about, nor is it uncomfortable to wear at all. The cons are This is *1/1. There is a shiny plastic faceplate on the black cover that is easily scratched. Seeing as the screen is almost flush with the faceplate and the device doesn't have a scratch guard, I would use care * ** 2. It is difficult to watch the screen when viewed from an angle Having to rotate your wrist or the computer to look directly at it will make things easier for you.
My choice of computer was excellent even though I am an amateur diver. Mares could have made some improvements to the computer, but he didn't. A couple of times, we surfaced on my first dive. As seen on the log screen, the first dive is marked as #2 and the second dive is marked In other words, if you surfaced four times within a dive, the first underwater record would be used as #4, the second underwater record as #3, etc. It feels like it is reading the log from the backwards. Another issue I had was the backlight not working. When you're under water, you can only light it up on the main screen, which is really frustrating. I like the display of my computer and the ability to replace the battery. An example of a large numbered display can be seen on the It is possible to replace the battery of the Mares Quad by I had a husband who recently had to replace the battery on a different brand of dive computer, which required him to send it to be repaired, and it cost him $75 to do so. His interest in a Mares Quad has grown since I told him about it. I highly recommend this computer to any diver who needs a dive computer that will give you accurate data when diving. The manual contains all the information you need about all the features the machine includes.
Simply to time the deco stops at the bottom of the screen. Over 300 feet of water are beneath me when I dive. My only issue is that it was too expensive for the use I was going to put it to. I swapped the strap for two bungee cords to use with this. Hopefully it will last a very long time. am not confident with straps that have only one buckle. In the event of any component failing, your computer will be lost. In this sense, I love using the computer to set the time. In the user manual there is no mention of the bottom timer (BT) function, except that it is there, and that it does not require a keystroke to launch it. For detailed instructions on how to activate and reset the BT device, I had to look online, and even that information was lacking, like it was just tacked on as Even though the BT letters are quite large, the digits of the number are quite small when the bottom timer is active. For the sake of my aging eyes, I would prefer they were bigger. As a result, I now use a more sophisticated computer (Shearwater multi gas with bright orange color coded fonts) to track Although I have not used the Quad for nitrox or air yet, I intend on doing so soon. My favorite part of the screen is how large and easy to read the fonts are.
It is impossible to believe how bad the user documentation is, which was not included in the A basic explanation of how to clear dive information, change the settings, describe the display layouts, and slow down the changes in the display so they can be read. It lacks any actual documentation for its users. I think you might understand how this works if you worked for the company and built The manual is great when you can figure out everything on your own, but when you can't, it's not as useful as it could be. Even though I'm able to figure out a couple of basic functions on the display, again the documentation does this dive computer a great.
The dive computer is great! It is easy to see the screen at 100 feet thanks to the size and clarity of the screen. The computer on the Vandenburg worked flawlessly when I dove it off Key West. My only complaint is the instruction manual. It is a great dive log, but it also has a lot of detail about each dive. There are some things that are a bit hard to find.
Because my eyesight is less than it once was, I need a larger face. The answer I was looking for was here. Having a big screen makes it easy to see my bottom time and give me a good indication of my time to get There is only one complaint, that the backlight doesn't always work, but in spite of the large easy to read screen, this isn't a problem. I am very pleased with my.
It is fairly simple to use even though I am not an expert It's a bit of a challenge for the old tech guy.
The text is easy.
