Hi, I'm in dilema to buy the smaller version or better go with 51mm.. I know flashlight is missing on smaller one, but that is not a problem.. I'm concerned about readability on smaller and operation with thick gloves.. What is your opinion? I'm leaning towards 43mm because I'll use it for other sports and everyday use, but don't want to miss some important feature what is offered by full size
@MaximeCheminade Ай бұрын
There is also a lot of difference in battery. Question is how big is your wrist? I personally love the 51.
@martinzagar1954 Ай бұрын
@MaximeCheminade My wrist is 19-20 cm.. I'll could pass with 51 mm.. I don't like oversize watches like Diesel, but understand that with diving watches are bit on functionality side😊

@MaximeCheminade 3 ай бұрын
I had the exact same remark when I tested the mk3i. I reached out to Garmin about this choice and this was their answer : Single Gas is not just recreational dive mode: Although we expect recreational dives will mostly be executed with Single Gas mode, certain technical dives can leverage Single Gas mode as well. Technical divers still can and do make decompression and/or cave dives (the definition of technical) with only one gas. This is common when the deco plan is simple enough to not be worth managing an extra gas mix. Wreck penetration and cave diving, even without deco, is considered technical diving, and often air is the only gas used if deco isn’t expected. And it actually kind of make sense to not separate both as rec / tec, but based on the gas you carry.

After I was introduced to XDeep's frameless mask a couple of years ago, my long-serving Scubapro frameless and Hollis M1 masks instantly became backup masks. The comfort, vision and perfect seal of XDeep's frameless mask are, in my humble opinion, supreme. Best mask I've ever had the pleasure to dive with. I have a wide face and this mask just delivers. Not a single drop of water has managed to get inside. Given it's sold at a midrange price I feel I get a lot of bang for my bucks. And no, I'm certainly not paid and/or instructed to promote XDeep's products. I'm just a regular recreational diver who has paid for every single item of my equipment. I just think that XDeep deserves praise as a great and very innovative dive equipment company...

@pellelidell007 4 ай бұрын
Yes, I totally agree. I have had my XDeep Zen for well over 2 years, and I can't see myself using another wing because the Zen has everything I want: supreme comfort, durability, and great design. Since I primarily travel and dive in tropical waters, I use Ghost's ultralight backplate, and this combo is the ultimate solution for me. I also use some of XDeep's other top-notch products: their frameless mask (perfect seal and vision, very comfy), their bolt snaps (best on the market), and their DSMB.

Hey! Thanks a lot! CCR would make a lot of sense, but not all the divers are CCR mixed gas diver, and the philosophy behind this is to first go there on an open circuit (much easier in case of failure / harder to break) and then do dives on CCR.

@Team_399 5 ай бұрын
We bought these and thoroughly regret the purchase: The Dive app will not open unless you have an LTE or wi-fi connection. The Connect app is completely cloud-based (all data disappears when not connected to at least LTE) so if you are on a live aboard boat you have nothing. The underwater messaging is gimmicky and within another menu so not very practical under water. Garmin support is abysmal. 45 minutes, 20 minutes and over two hour wait times this week alone. And then, even though you selected the option for the Descent MkIII, you get general customer service who doesn't know the watch well. They told me that there are very few people at Garmin who actually know the watch. The bezel is soft and scratches easily. The base of the transmitters are wider than other transmitters and won't fit on some octos without a pigtail. We really regret buying these.

@@ekjellgrenhi buddy :) I do own a vx1 and I’m actually looking for a replacement mask. I’ve done around 110 dives with it and it’s always mix feelings, either super good sealing on my face or super bad. I’ve had couple of fogging issues but burning it and prepping it with soap did the tricky perfectly, for my face/shape it just doesn’t seal and leaks water almost every other dive which is super annoying. I’ve tried it with long beard, trimmed beard but still doesn’t give me consistency. I will buy this xdeep and see if it fits me better and use the Apeks as a back up. On my opinion is not worth the price tag 🏷️ hope this help.

Hi maxime, thanks for this great review. Would you feel confident taking this dive computer for technical dives, or does it seem limited to a "recreational" interface? I'd be interested to understand the degree of customization, notably on the communication of total ascent times (apparently in seconds?), the usefulness of the computer without the probe? etc... Thanks for your great videos!

Hi! Yes absolutely. I haven't used the probes and you are right, the is in seconds. I honestly didn't miss anything from Shearwater except the GF99. But I wouldn't be surprised if this feature comes to MK3i via update. You can customize more of the screens than a teric. I love the big numbers mode.
