Re: Questions about optima controls

Hey guys,
I never intended to start a pissing match.
I did speak with Mark at Diverite express, He did tell me that the units had problems flooding, I agree that this is a saftey issue, As an instructor my self I always caution my students who buy junk gear off of Ebay, and all he was doing was telling me his experience, with the units. I am glad he did, I do intent to upgrade to the delrin sets but not this year. But back to My topic, I just wanted to know if these metal hand sets were junk or not, doesn't matter who say's what, I was just looking to gather information.
Now that I have the unit, it has the al with ss bezel. I intend to dive these at least for a year or till they flood. And yes I got one hell of a good deal, even if I have to replace the hand sets after the first dive. Besides I would never rely on just one deco computer, thats why I always dive a VR3.
