Does everything I want and is very inexpensive. Only con is that the price for the USB/data cable is a ripoff. But there's an aftermarket version available for half the price.
Smartinterface Your online shop for dive related accessoriesDo you have a link for that?
Personally I think it's more of a case of trying to make up for the lower-cost main unit. Having an electronic log book is extremely convenient (and nifty, since you get all the details, dive profile etc) and many Puck divers will eventually shell out for this added functionality, which is probably what allows Mares to sell the Puck at such a low price to begin with. The electronics contained in the Puck USB cable are outrageously trivial, certainly not worth more than $10 or so.I agree with the cable, I imagine it's a case where production and development costs get spread across a fairly small number of units, unlike say whatever the latest release from Apple is, where 5 million units sell the first month.
