Glad to hear of the improvements you guys are making prior to release, sounds good. The cell checker should almost be part of the package.

I guess I didn't word the question corectly but with regards to the adaptor & cable, what I wanted to know was if it would be possible to have my Shearwater Pursuit plugged in to the Deep Pursuit via a Beanie type adaptor with cable ? Make more sense ?

What will be the depth limitation of the Deep vs the Altus ? Any other major differences ?

Thanks, Rob

Rob,

The deep Pursuit was designed with a second handset in mind. It has a beanie holder built in as part of that design. All we need to do is fit another of our glands to the head with a cable and the same SMB splitters we use on the 3 cell monitor package we have just released. The testing we did on the 3 cell monitor package was actually for the Altus Pursuit.
The Deep Pursuit is limited to 185m because of the handset front lens only. At that pressure the front bends in to touch the LCD. The Altus units will have mineral glass on the front to extend that limit amongst other changes.

The adaptation of the mineral glass to the front is expensive. It also takes a lot of time and effort on our part to get the glass profile cut and treated. As such, we dont believe anyone would actually pay commercial rates for this modification. That is why we are not going to charge commercial rates, and also why not everyone will be able to buy one. Just because you can afford it, doesnt mean you will get it. To make it worth our while to put in the effort for little or no return, you have to prove you need it. I know this will be contentious for some, but thats the way it will be.

Brent.
