You are aware the HUD is controlled by the secondary handset right? What was the primary doing? Was the solenoid still firing?

Well...yes...I'm aware of that but I still don't continue a dive at 80m with only one system working...of course it was no problem to finish the dive since the primary (incl. solenoid) was working...it was just strange for me that I have to look on the handset since usually I fly my unit only with the HUD...made me remember the old days on the inspo and how I love my HUD!!!

Head is on its way to ISC, will let you know what was the problem...

Cheers,
Patrick

Hey Mike,

Well I have to totally agree with you on this one...I actually never bought the myth from the get go...electronics and water just don't match...

But for the kind of diving I do it's still my prefered Unit with all its flaws...

Cheers,
Patrick

Indestructible no. But it has been the most rugged and trouble free Rebreather I have used to date.

Drop by Mom's Hotel after the 15th of January and look for 4-5 meg divers. I'll be there.

Hello,

How long before information on the com unit is up on the website.

Also, while you're website is looks better than most any other dive site, it is horribly, horribly slow. Sometimes I'll wait 15 seconds before anything happens. It gets painful to browse through what you have. You might want to review your hosting environment or configuration. Other options would be progressive rendering, higher compression on images and sending images at displayed resolution.

Sorry but have no idea what you are talking about...
