Details of marketing policies and pricing will become available over the next month. Shipments will begin in January 2006.

Would this unit be comparable in price to a VR3 or Explorer?

It's not quite that easy. There is a different version of the software that drives a solenoid. I have no plans to sell that version to anyone but Jetsam and Divematics at the moment, but that might change.

So when you say Divematics, and refer to the Shadow Pack 3, would this include the "new" OMS breather as well?

Yes. There won't be any big surprises. I will be talking to people at DEMA and will decide the exact pricing after that.

So DEMA has been and gone... any news yet, I'm on the edge of my seat here!

The expected price is $1300 US. All of the functions will be enabled at that price, but there will be optional dive planning and logging software, and some connector options too.

We are still planning to ship the first units in January.

Soon after January is my best guess. Its a parallel project, but a little lower priority.

My interest is in the Sport KISS mod, so correct me if I'm wrong, base unit is $1300.00? It will cost more to have the dive planning and dive logging functionality? How much more?
