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...

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 Max, thanks for the great video! Is there a specific reason why everyone is on open circuit? Wouldn’t a CCR be more suitable for dives like this?
@MaximeCheminade 5 күн бұрын
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.

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.

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. Check up on my new video where I used it as a training device for expedition diving :)

Did you keep the original inflator hose? I find that mines feels kind of short. Not sure if it's normal or if I need to adjust how I'm wearing the backplate wing, but I feel like the inflator hose is short and I really have to force it to bend in order to manually inflate in an emergency.

We don’t need to protect people from themselves. If they change the backgas to hypoxic and don’t change it back before diving, that’s not on Garmin… Things like this are why we have computers that default back to air mode of out of gauge mode and actually put people at risk. Someone setting their backgas to hypoxic without being trained will just shorten their bottom time and change the max depth (but the mod of air is already so far out of recreational limits) so there isn’t any extra risk here. When nitrox trained, they should be familiar with the risks of not setting their computer to the right mixes anyway. Other than this, really good review.
@MaximeCheminade 3 ай бұрын
Thanks a lot for your comment! I partially agree with you. I think both should be available. There is some things that bothers me (and preparing the 6 month review as we speak :) ) with both single tank and more advanced modes (CCR tec mode). But i think a dive computer shouldn't permit to breath dangerous gas mix at the surface as the only back gas or at least display a warning. At least on the modes that are intended for recreational diving or even just allow a "advanced mode" that unlock such features. Hypoxic mixes normally also contain helium (yes even in single tank mode), and this creates very different profile than an air dive.

I work in the maritime industry and will be travelling to some very remote tropical places which will be perfect for diving. Do you think as someone at my starting level it’s worth getting a Mk3 or buying a second hand mk2?
