Setting Up The Mares Smart Air Dive Computer

[@mariferprincesita]

What an amazing video! My local dive shop did not go as into much detail so this is much appreciated -- thank you very much!

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

You are very welcome Fernanda Garcia, glad you liked the video and found it helpful.

[@wombatski100]

I have just used your video to help me set up and familiarise myself with my Mares Smart. Very helful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Bob Page, glad our video was helpful to you.

[@EricNietofilms]

thanks you so much! I just bought a regular smart as my first diving computer and I was very lost with it thants to that video now I understand how it works! :D

[@EricNietofilms]

I have one question, where is the temperature sensor? because now it's arround 20ºC it was marking it well but I have it now on my wrist and it went up to 31ºC. I guess that in the water will be not as much affected, but I find this strange

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Eric Nieto, I believe the temperature sensor is on the bottom of the case. Sometimes if you have the computer up against your skin, it can be slightly off.

[@Will-ol9lp]

Will u be showing the quad air wrist computer? Great how to videos. Keep them coming Thanks Will

This watch is only good for PC and Mac? What about Blue Tooth so we can use our mobile devices? Also will the straps for the Smart fit on the Smart Air? We might want to change color options lol. Can you get the Smart Air without the added transmitter at a reduced cost? I did see where vendors online were advertising the Smart Air in price ranges between $400 and in the $750 range (give or take a few dollars on my estimate). I couldn't make heads or tales of it. And I think there were a couple more questions pertaining to this but now I can't remember them lol. Thank you for your patience with all of our questions and keep bringing the videos 😃

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello dixee6. We did a video on how to use the Blue Link with the Mares Smart. I will link it here for you. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJnWmqehis19a8U) Also, yes you can purchase the Smart Air without the Transmitter.

[@Dr1aziz]

Thanks, just bought it and got lost on the features, thanks for the helpful tips.

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

You're welcome Aziz Mumammar. Glad our video was helpful to you.

Is the clock still using battery when it is in sleep mode? is it possible to turn the clock off that it does not consume from the battery? thank you for your help 👍

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Arrin, even in sleep mode the battery is still active. I'm not certain there is any way to turn it off without removing the battery all together.

[@ryanhays5860]

What compass do you have on your wrist band? Thanks for the informational video... Very helpful!

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

It is a clip on compass from Suunto.

[@ericsaenz4820]

Hello, excellent video, I already gave it my Like. A very complete computer for scuba diving, however I also do apnea diving, what characteristics has to offer in this mode?, I imagine the basic ones, depth, time, temperature. Does the computer register surface time and descent speed? Thank you

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Eric Saenz, as long as you put it in Freediving mode it gives you the information related to freediving, including surface time.

[@paulkrsek8530]

i've been trying for days to reset the date and time on my new Mares Smart Apnea Free diving watch. I've watched multiple videos and simply cant get it to allow me to reset the time. It allows resetting all dive functions but not time. Very frustrating.

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello @paulkrsek8530, sorry to hear that you are having trouble resetting the time on you Smart Apnea. If you have a local Mares Dealer, run it by them and they can assist you. Typically, you should be able to scroll through the menu till you see the word SET. Then you will scroll through the menu to you see TIME. This will take you directly into the clock setting menu. If this does not work, it may be a firmware issue. Make sure you have the latest firmware downloaded to your Smart computer. This can be downloaded straight from the Mares webpage. Hope this helps.

[@georgebrown7204]

Trying to find the serial number of my new Smart Air; looked under "info" screen, and see the software version and just 4 other numbers. Are those numbers the serial number?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello george brown, you would be correct, the four additional numbers would be your serial numbers.

[@raisasuprun7302]

Hey, is the display phosphor-luminescent ?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Raisa Suprun, I do not believe so. It is a simple back light that works by pressing the the button on the side.

[@dainiusk.7632]

Can mares smart air export freedive (apnea) logs with dive chart? Or is it only useless maxDepth/diveTime table with one record per dive?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

That is a great question. I'm going to have to refer you to Mares Headquarters in Boca Raton. The Smart Apnea is specifically made for freediving, not the Smart Air.

[@ernestlcolemanjr]

PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON THE GENIUS.

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello ernestlcolemanjr, I will be happy to do a video on the Mares Genius and how to set it up.

[@techop2010]

If that info number is really the serial number then I am surprised. That one was 2103. Mine, that i just got, is 2104!

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello techop2010, on the Mares Puck Pro, there will be two numbers displayed on the Info Screen. As they rotate back and forth, it will be the second number that you see.

[@ashishchawla2343]

This one compared to Cressi Goa ? Please suggest.

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Both are great computers, but I like the Mares better.

[@brizzaschiro9563]

hi, is that a compass what you have in your computer? can you tell me what compass is? and if it works

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello brizza schiro, I am using the Sunnto Clipper compass on my wrist strap.

[@alecleitman3504]

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

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Try 1234.

[@raywickham682]

where can i get the compass on your watch?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Ray Wickham, here is the one I use. www.amazon.com/SUUNTO-SS-SMS-9001681-Clipper-NH-Compass/dp/B000BSDU4Y/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2LV04C9EKJLW1&keywords=suunto+clipper&qid=1656790332&sprefix=suunto+clipper%2Caps%2C125&sr=8-2. Make sure you get the one for the hemisphere you are in, Northern or Southern.

[@chetcramer]

Very helpful!

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Glad you liked the video Chet Cramer.

[@johansetiawan4874]

is the dive comp recommended for advance diver? i confuse to buy this one or d4i novo suunto

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

This computer would be great for both beginners and advanced divers alike. Ease of operation, and is completely user friendly as far as setting up the decompression algorithm. I highly recommend it.

[@masafed]

how often does the air transmitter led blink ?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Muhammad Foda. The LED Transimiiter is designed to blink every four seconds while it has pressures of more than 145 PSI. After a period of 4 minutes of no pressure change, it will quit blinking to conserve battery power. Here is a link where you can download the user manual and it will show you all the other features to the LED Transmitter. www.mares.com/shop/us-US/diving/computers/accessories/led-tank-module-1.html?attribute_id=92&option_id=203. Hope this helps.

[@titinnurhan5203]

My Mares dive xomputer ia lock,i just can see to free dive,can not to.set to dive.how to do

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Titin Murhan. Sorry to here you computer is locked.There is a reset screen where you can enter the code 1234, this should unlock the computer and allow you to put it back into dive mode.

[@sophianagel6450]

How do I turn the watch off?..

[@ernestlcolemanjr]

If you read the comments below it will show you. Someone ask the question on this post. It was a year ago.

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Sophia Nagel, if you scroll through the settings you will find the sleep mode. This is a great way to save battery power when not using the computer.

[@DecentRecruit]

My Smart Air backlight turns on randomly. Anyone know why?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Sounds like a software or firmware issue. Download the latest firmware and if that doesn't work, I would suggest sending it back to your local Mares Dealer for repairs.

[@usarmy308]

How to put the watch on sleep mode?

[@LakeHickoryScuba]

Hello Christopher, you will first scroll through the screens until you get to the set screen. Then press and hold the top button. Next you will scroll until you see set time. Then press and hold the top button. Next scroll until you see go to sleep. Then simply press and hold the top button. To wake up, simply press and release the top button. Hope this helps.

[@usarmy308]
