I think the new Aladin can monitor up to 10 wireless transmitters.

i wouldn't go without a gauge any more than I would on OC or a means of pO2 monitoring.

Hello,
Has the new aladin computer got a constant ppo2 mode ?

Hi rayan,

what is sure is that pressure gauge all end up leaking ...on the other hand the pressure gauge gives you the info you need and one will notice the leak both .
as for wireless gauges , do they exist for rebreather diving ?

Hi Jean Mi, I know Oceanic has the VT3 (which monitors 3 wireless Pressure Transmitters)... I currently have their older model the VT Pro which monitors 1 pressure transmitter.

I know there are several here on Rebreather World that are using the VT3 to monitor their various tank pressures... the nice part (if you've got the cash) is that you can get multi-colored transmitters so you can go Black for dil, Green for O2 and Yellow for Bail Out...

The bummer (seems there is always one of these) is the VT3 does not have a Constant PO2 mode... so either use as a depth gauge / bottom timer or set up OC Nitrox to your bottom mix... you can however change between 3 mixes (matching up with the 3 transmitters capabilities).

hemm interresting...if it can be used in depth gauge time it would be a good thing permitting to get rig of dil and o2 high pressure hoses...

do you think the trasmitter are less likely to leak then a standard pressure gauge ?

I do use the O2 gauge but abandoned the dil guage as can plug in off board dil, I only carry extra 100% O2 on deeper dives.

Nice to see O2 level just before starting ascent, that way if something is wrong (not enough O2 to get me to the surface) I can plan early i.e. get my OC ready or ask my buddy to be that little be closer if I need his help. I don't like surprises.
