When is the PPO2 link going to be available ? Will it be the same connector as the VR3 ?

Used it for a few weeks now and love it. Got rid of my VR3 and never looked back.

Regular updates and excellent prompt support from v-planner authors.

Thanks boys, all sounds very positive, I placed an order for 6 initial units. Be here in a few weeks for any Aussies that want one.

Cheers

Simply excellent. The digital compass comes in handy. At 400 feet with no light, this thing can be viewed handily. With V-Planner live, so intuitive compared to anything else I have used. I am considering getting another one, but so far it has been so reliable that I have a hard time justifying the expense. Would not recommend anything else.

I believe Liquivision is trying to have it ready by DEMA.

Mine is fantastic. Never go back to the VR3.

Hi

I got my X1 about two months ago, I love it. However, the screen is by far un-scratchable! The Zenobia wreck left a scar accros the screen when I was crawling through an small opening

So I can definetly recomend putting on some kind of screen guarde before getting it wet!

Diving X1 and VR£ side by side is very interesting. Would never go back to VR£ now - the X1 screen is just too good.

On Friday, one of the guys was reading mine from the stop above. That's 3m away in snotty plankton! By contrast. I was finding reading and using the VR£ difficult (because of the angle) - and that was next to the X1 on my wrist.

I loved my VR£ when I didn't have an alternative, and it's still my bailout computer. Revolutionary in it's day, but that day has passed. Interested to see what DeltaP can come back with though.

Well, we have, haven't we ? It's not standalone (yet ?) but I guess that the Sentinel's primary is kind of the new version of the VR3 in some way (a new CCR focused - supporting one rebreather Trimix color upgrade to the VR3).
