Will be going for the first half of my Advanced Certification in Dutch Springs, Pennsylvania, and I just want to thank you on a great informative video that has made me a bit calmer about my upcoming certification, and my confidence with the watch. We'll have to see how it does underwater, but once again, thank you!

[@blainefinn7966]

Hello guys, I just wanted to let you know I've recently found your channel and every time you post a new video it just makes me more excited to get my licence. Only one more month to go. Yew

[@simplyscuba]

Ahhh that's brilliant news Blaine! Where are you learning? Glad you like the channel as well :)

[@blainefinn7966]

Simply Scuba sorry I'm a but late, but I'm learning underneath the Swansea bridge, in Australia. It's quite a renowned spot around here, and it's just a few kilometres from moon island, another great spot

[@simplyscuba]

Awesome! Let us know how it goes Blaine :)

[@blainefinn7966]

Simply Scuba sure will

[@elizabethkenska8654]

Hello! Is there a way to see the exact oxygen psi level while diving vs using the marking around the edges of the watch? Thanks!

I really dont understand why the Dive Computer makers dont have Bluetooth connection as standard. There is just a few (expensive) that have that. A bluetooth ship cost a few dollar. So in this case - the Mares Smart Air - is not so smart. To have a cable to a computer is soooo 90´s

[@RACCHIETTO]

As far as i know bluetooth waves can't travel under water, a bt ship antenna stays above the surface.

[@lmlmd2714]

There a few reasons, coming from an IT background. Firstly, profit. The profit margin on dive computers is nuts. The logic components are closer to a cheap, basic scientific calculator or 80s databank digital watch than they are to a modern smartphone. The sensor arrays add a bit of cost, but nothing like what we pay. Bluetooth, on the other hand, is a licenced technology, so you have to pay to use it. As you can imagine, that's not exactly in keeping with the "price gouge till they scream" ethos... unless you're paying a big premium, of course. Secondly, BT is battery hungry so you'd have to give up the disposable lithium button batteries in favour of proper li-ions, which would need charging anyway, so from the users perspective you might as well kill two birds with one stone. Sure you could do wireless charging as well, but that's a technology that's never really taken off as much as it could, and wouldn't work terribly well in scenarios like liveabaoards and expedition diving - which is where the more expensive and eleborate computers are going to get used.

[@NoRegret08]

I have 1000+ dives and a BS in Computer Science. I see absolutely no reason to have Bluetooth on a dive computer.

[@LowKickMT]

@@NoRegret08 to pair it with a smartphone and deal with all the settings or logged dive profiles in a convenient app, mr bs cs

[@johnbrab2]

It is compatible with BLUELINK PRO INTERFACE by mares to use bluetooth? I didn't find this information ...

[@alecleitman3504]

What 4 digit code should I do if I want to reset my mares smart air watch to factory mode?

[@usarmy308]

Hello how do you set it to sleep mode?

[@ahmadkaddoura7060]

Does the smart air have a compass?

[@kingchan9100]

shame that it does not have digital compass

[@dainiusk.7632]

If you plan to use it for freediving, go away. "Smart Air can record the profiles of approximately 95 hours of diving, at a sampling rate of 5 seconds. The information can be transferred using the optional USB clip to PC via the Dive Organizer software" -MARES manual. It sucks at apnea. "The "normal" Smart has only one basic freediving mode, which is not able to record and display the profile."- Mares. Apnea mode is only formally supported, there will be no data stored for apnea diving session. Dive Organizer is crashing without chart data, mares ignores issue ticket for 2 month now.

[@juan_sempere-valverde]

I do not recommend MARES SMART. Defective software got stuck in Apnea mode one month after the warranty was over and there is no way to reverse it. I was recommended by MARE to try the following: in ‘Set Dive’ select ‘Erase Desat’ and insert the code ‘1234’. Following this, go to ‘Mode’ and select the desired dive mode. I already found this tip online before I asked them and it did not work for me... If you read this try a better computer. I have a CRESSI EDY that is 7 years old now and works perfectly

[@erikfri898]

abit foolish to go to 2nd gas and say...naaaa i am only dive with 1 gas. who cares how you dive! this is not niteox computer this is technical compuetr with switch gas ability, this video is not so good
