I have never had much luck with wireless conections of any sort.

What dive gear have you used and found to be reliable ?

I currently use an Aeris Wireless Computer...on occasion it does lose its connection, but it's simple to sync back up. However, the transmitter is located on the first stage and the receiver is on my wrist.

I would think that AP would be able to have to transmitter mounted much like the buzzer, or maybe even attached on the inhale breathing hose..much closer to the wrist. Kind of like how the fiber optic cable attaches to the hose. This would significantly decrease the distance and would result in a more stable connection.

Yeah just ignore the KISS diving sceptic, I'm too old fashioned and don't like all this wireless Voodoo. Unless I can see the wires I can't imagine the Pixies running back and forth with their buckets of electricity :-)

I guess you don't use Wi-Fi or GSM either...

No that's not quite true.

We've always had a sense of humour, it's just that we're too subtle for you guys most of the time....

Does this have anything to do with a cup of tea?

How can they drown if they are inside the cables?GSM is just magic Radio and Wi-fi is very spooky Voodoo, fortunatly its banned at work because our Austrian Overloads believe it to be unsecure, until they develope the Enigma-Fi we are tied to earthly cables.Obviously this has nothing to do with the price of fish, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and Kippers are for life not just for breakfast. Funny is only tolerable in the bottom half of the week and the upper half of the hour when the wind is from the East.Long story short- Wires rule, wireless sucks... and is pointless when both ends are strapped to your body! Now, wireless comms to the surface is another matter entirely and something worth consideration IMO.
